To be honest the way our crowds have dipped I'd be interested to see us close the North stand as an experiment, and move the away fans to the North/East corner like they are at football games. Making the East stand full again may help lift the atmosphere and let's face it barely any teams bring more than a few hundred anyway. We can moan about the Allams all we want, but we're only filling approx 40% of the ground for even the 'big' games now.

Pearsons fault, not Allams

We rarely get more than a couple of hundred away speccies so I see no issue with allocating them a section in the west stand

Its not just about closing the North stand, which would not be an issue, but Allam wants to close the South stand too. Its his position that if the average attendance is below 10,000 only the East and West stands are needed.

Fan apathy is hardly Pearsons fault. Many if us were unhappy with the style of play and rightly so. The style of play over the last month is a million miles away from what it was. However there are far too many who have said "if Radford is coach I will not go" .

As I said, fan apathy

It might not be solely Pearson's fault, but he can't be absolved. He has had a (quite significant) hand in creating the team/situation that those fans are apathetic about, as well initially raising the expectations of those fans in the first place with his bullish promises.

This

Pearson is also responsible for running the club down and not replacing directors, employing inexperienced people in roles they should not be in. Just because the clubs had a little run where for the most weve still been poor (apart from the last few performances) doesnt mean weve suddenly become a great club again. We more than likely wont make the eight, another of our best players is leaving and the fans see this. Next year we'll probably have east and west open and thats it and thats not the fans fault or Allams but the blame lies solely with Pearsons

How is fab apathy not Pearsons fault? He is the owner of the club. It is up to him to make the decisions necessary. If the fans are apathetic towards the players and the coach but the chairman does nothing about it then surely he can take a big portion of that blame?

The crowds are dwindling because we're getting the same old same old. There is little to no faith in the coach hastily appointed and the chairman has done nothing but blame the fans for not showing up.

I don't think our crowds will drop below 10k average. But if they do, we won't really need the two end stands. I'd much prefer us to just close the north stand though and have the fans in the East stand move across. There's more than enough room at the moment.

Pearson has made mistakes but still think he is the man to take us forwards. Have some of you been to the fc meetings and listened to the bloke? he's not done everything right but the way some sprout on about him is well laughable imo

Do you think it would be a reasonable state of affairs if the chairman were to pull the trigger every time the fans were upset ?

Yes, we're have played poorly for the most this season. But the last 4 performances have been anything but, same old same old. The fan apathy comment was aimed at those who complain about the style of play (and rightly so) but then back it up with "if Radford stays I will not attend" just how is that going to help?

For the record,mi think Radford should have gone after 6 games this season. When results and performances were shocking.

The irony of those who craved an attacking style and staying away will pro all have missed the Cas cup game which has been our best performance so far.
