How many of that 5k can now be considered loyal supporters and added to the core figure of 4.5k? It's not something we ought to be putting to the test, it's a level of support we should be taking full advantage of.
Times are tight and it's near Christmas. As one of those who have to prioritise what they spend cash on ?26 for a ticket, ?11 for a couple of pints then say a fiver for fuel for a few hours of potential entertainment will pick and choose their games. Missing out on attending a 0-0 makes me think ?40 saved rather than ruing a missed opportunity.

Sometimes it's more than results keeping folk away but I'm certainly not gagging to get to Walsall like I was planning to.
