IMO the squad will be way lighter on quality the last term , others teams a lot stronger than last term.. its mid table DEEREY at best ..sorry.. oh and these so called trialts WGs refers to do look like bin dippers
not doomed but NO way promotion ..
I share your sentiment IFA. Not pessimistic… just realistic.
WonderGoals you’re right everyone has a choice and the gates will reflect that over the course of the season if we don’t recruit some quality. It’s a fine balance between cost saving on wages and loss of income if the football is poor. The die hards will turn up rain or shine but we need our ‘fair weather fans’ more than ever in our financial predicament.
I personally brought 3 different friends to various games last season because we were playing good football that was, for the most part, enjoyable to watch. Even when we weren’t playing well there was always the possibility of Butterfield scoring a 30 yard screamer. Direct, physical and ugly football is fine IF we’re winning every game. But if we’re losing whilst playing unattractive football the gates will inevitably take a hit wiping out any benefit of cost cutting.
As said previously I’ll count this season as a success if we manage to maintain the gate numbers and feel good factor throughout the season.
