In the end people will vote with their feet, poor results will produce poor crowds! The standard of the football is what counts! You would think so, but by taking the same approach as Dulwich they've managed to increase crowds with people that aren't that bothered by the football. Results must have some effect, but we'll continue to get good crowds as long as they're serving mad squirrel and chicken george. The increased crowds should mean a bigger playing budget, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead there's been a lot more money spent on non-playing staff. It seems increasingly that the football is becoming periphery to the commercial side of things. Dulwich should act as a warning of what happens when you don't get the balance right. Well said, fella ! |

Well said, fella ! I’d be very interested to know: Of the increased crowd, how many are kids How many are paying full price. It is great to have more kids attending as they are the future fanbase, hopefully they have stopped embarrassing the club with the shameful behaviour. The playoff final behaviour in particular was a disgrace. |

Totally agree fella. The balance seems wrong to me. The owners would be more upset if Chicken George and Mad Squirrel left, than our 2 best players. Lets hope results can pick up. |
