really could not have got a kinder draw. we at home against beatable sides. win and get a premier club at the wham and then people will actually find their way to the wham.

I don't often correct other posts as you know MH !.. But I think that your last sentence should read ' might actually find their way to the Wham '.. with strong emphasis on the word MIGHT ?.

I share your feelings entirely !... and like everyone else ask the question ' what more do the Reds have to do to ensure the support which they so richly deserve ? '. A question asked so many times on our Forum.. But never if ever answered to a degree where an appropriate increase in attendance is forthcoming !... So frustrating for all concerned .

ON STANLEY !. ON TO GREATER THINGS !.

a lot depends on who we draw. if its the manchester two the television fans will be out in force with their offspring bringing them down to watch the team they say they support but never actually go.

Personally, I thought attendances were showing a marked improvement recently. There were almost 2,400 locals on for the Pompey match. Yes, last Saturday's gate was disappointing, but a lot of folk will have spent their brass on advance tickets for Barnsley and Sunderland for themselves and their families and perhaps this was an expense too far. After so many years of apathy, building the support base is always going to be a case of two steps forward, one step back.

but not for season ticket holders. if it was raining heavy or a real cold day i could understand a lower gate and i really hope those who didn,t or couldn,t be bothered to turn up start going on about the magic of the cup if we get through to round 3 and get a cracking draw.
