    I'm a season ticker holder but have missed the last 2 games. Not going again until I see some sign of improvement.

    Same here. Watching the deterioration in standards of experienced pros turns people off going. We all know this group can play better.

    Several reasons combining to reduce attendances; Sky TV moving matches to stupid times like Friday and Monday nights, the rapidly increasing fuel costs, domestic fuel bills rapidly depleting peoples disposable income, Lai, and last but probably not least, dreadful football from overpaid players who don’t look like they give a ****.

    I have no idea when I’ll be back in my seat, I have some gigs coming up with my ukulele groups and if any of those clash with football, guess where I’ll be?

    I'm one of them, I'm not travelling 130 miles each way to watch that rubbish

    No surprise at the number of empty seats.
    Why would anyone want to watch football on a Monday night on a wet winter night when the team are playing so poorly.
    I didn't go but did watch it online whilst I ate my tea and drank a can or two of beer.
    This is a slippery slope when I would prefer to sit at home and watch it instead of being at the game.
    I will be at the next home game which is on a Friday night come what may.
    Until the team is playing better and worth watching, the evening games will suffer attendance wise.
    I believe there were some discounted tickets available for last night, that may have even bolstered attendance.

    I can’t find the official attendance for last nights match reported anywhere.

    Papers are saying attendance not reported and even the clubs official site has not available quoted, well n/a to be more accurate. I assume that means not available as against not applicable, i.e. there wasn’t an attendance last night!!

    Maybe Sky super imposed a previous crowd and no one was actually there which would also explain the lack of atmosphere. Maybe Sky are part of the cover up as they don’t want to be associated with last nights match either.
