So what is any professional sports club run for if not for the people who turn up to watch. Yes the club needs new fans, it also needs it's current ones, or are you suggesting we all stop going ? You have made your choice, that's your choice, those of us that take another direction are fully aware of what we are doing. You don't like it, do I really care what you think? Nah not really just not sure why you keep on about it when you have several times stated you are not bothering this year and are going to skolars, Hooe you enjoy it
I'd suggest that getting back to having 5,000 fans starts with not losing the ones you have, so holding activities like this. If we had done more of this in the past, maybe the 5,000 wouldn't be 500.
Did anyone go to the season launch event in the RN TA establishment a few years back down by the Tower of London? I remember a few faces that went but it was not a great attendance. Think the following year was at a pub in North London, that was the sign of the club struggling with finances.
The reality is until we start winning on the park, the fair weather fans will stay away. It's not a dig at those fans it's just the nature of the beast.
on what basis do you make such a statement? is this your view that LB should just fold now? Because if not then you start with what you have and seek to build on getting people back who stopped coming and attracting new surely?

Perhaps a starting point would be not describing people who are not attending as fairweather. Many of them have supported the club over many years, few of which have proved to be that successful. Being appalled by the management of the club, the performances on the field and the dreadful way the support has been treated does not make a supporter fairweather. As the most recent attendance was 250 that would mean the club's support is not barely more than fairweather now
