Notts County, The Decline and Fall

[LilCrazyKim]

It's interesting to look at the historical perspective but in some respects Notts aren't in terrible health at the moment. We're better supported now than we have been since the early to mid-90s and have a much younger fan base than we did even 15 years ago. There's the foundation to be a much stronger club than we have been. What's scuppered us in the off-field instability that we haven't been able to shake off since Pavis sold us. One of the sad things about Hardy's tenure is that for a while it seemed we might finally be moving in a more stable direction, but he opted for the recklessness that's led us to where we are now.

The last two seasons have seen excellent support, you are right, but do you really think that will continue into this coming season? Season ticket sales must have completely stalled since early June, and I can't see anything but a long, hard struggle. We'll be lucky to average 4000 at home.
