I think if the owner actually started engaging with the fans more, then he would buy himself a lot of goodwill. What many on here do not like his apparent blanking of those who have supported this club over many, many years and his willingness to persist with things which are obviously upsetting those same fans, ie lack of a genuine coach, academy merger etc. No doubt he'll be in touch when he wants everyone to buy a season ticket for next year.
We'll do that if he gives us a reason to believe and is more forthcoming on what his plans are for the club. We seem to be rather light on detail in that department.
For what its worth I do want him to succeed.

Don't know where the notion comes from that those who are not happy with things, and choose to voice it, are less of a supporter than those who blindly follow the club.
Maybe they are more of a supporter, as they can see the malaise infecting the club, and are not happily standing by chanting the mantra "in any kind of weather" over and over again.
I know loads of supporters who no longer go. They've had enough. They still support the club emotionally though. The club has a massive battle on to win back these supporters through the turnstiles.
The club only engage with the fanbase at season pass renewal time.

Have you all forgotten "old faithful in any kind of weather" yea righty ho.

Cant argue with the logic of that but the way to success lies in bringing the owner and the fans together. The fans need to understand the problems and financial challenges faced by the owner and the owner needs to understand that if he ignores the fans or takes them for granted he will find himself with fewer of them, which will only compound his difficulties.

The club has lost 1000's of paying customers since pearson took over and even more before he did. people have voted with their feet and unless there is a big change at the club it will continue. I expect sub 8k crowds next season

Correct.

Spot on. If we miss out on the 8, as seems possible/likely, and survive in SL, his attachment to Radford beyond this season would spell disaster from a season pass perspective.

i wish some folk would make their mind up

It does make you wonder if something else is going on we're not aware of

Such as?
