The furore over the seats is not because we have to have them, it is because of the perceived underhand way it happened. It is not because we don't get the shiny new stand due to a lack of money, its because of the lack of activity over a period of three years resulting in the oops we better do it now attitude. We all assume that the club have avoided the expense of building it because they reckoned it would be a white elephant if we went down - rather than it would be a jewel in our crown and help us to have one of the best facilities in non league football if we went down. The club have for years avoided the responsibility of doing more than they have to, and it has bitten them on the bum. Fraser Eagle have been paying us a quarter of a million for the last three years for the priviledge of having the ground named after them. What happens when they pull the plug on that? The orignal deal was for three years wasn't it? That expires in a few months and if we can't make a do now then we are knackered for next year. Until the club speculates on things then it will never accumulate. The mood of the representative cross section of fans on this unblinkered messageboard says that the club has for too long ignored them.
I haven't got crowd stats to hand but I reckon 1 in 3 from last year or the season before has stopped coming, and I reckon nearer 1 in 2 (allowing less away fans etc) from the Conference winning season. Not all of these have stopped attending because of losing games or credit crunch - they are just fed up.
