Sorry to say, but the gate of 3,020 included 230 from Carlisle, meaning 2,790 home fans (correct me if I am wrong Northubiron) this for a fixture played on Holiday weekend, is very poor however way that you look at it.
There are still many issues that need sorting out, Keith Hill has done great since he arrived, but he needs fully backing from the Chairman, which looks as though he is not likely to be getting. But with the Holiday fixture being one that was expected to be a home win, added to it being a nice day weather wise,I would have thought the gate would have been over 4,000, but we still do not have any strikers in the squad, and I assume that is the main reason for such a low turnout, fans need to see an odd goal or two, but we have had this problem for three seasons now.
