Kenny has come out with another one of his columns.

Again he’s asking for 20k crowds.

 

This time, he says it can help add 3 million to our budget, for the transfer window.

 

A bit bonkers isn’t it ?

Doesn't help that every caller on GMR says 'I wasn't at the game but i listened on the radio and it didn't sound great, we need to spend money in January'. 

The club might have some money if the supporters actually went to the fucking games. 

Pretty much nail on head for me.

i know of at least 10 st holders who are currently choosing not to go, due to a combination of Apathy, shit football and bad atmosphere. Season tickets are paid for but there's £100-£150 on ale, pies etc that ain't getting spent.

17.5k on Saturday my arse.

Leeds had 4.5k granted, I'd hazard a guess at 10k Bolton tops...

so the missing ST holders must be into 000's

I am one of those missing ST holders

didn't make Wigan (3rd game missed this season), but was there v Leeds, was definitely looking sparse

I'm not boycotting it or anything and my preference is to go, but these days, if something else comes up, then I resist missing the footy far less than I used to

Dont get the going missing metality fair enough if your on a promise or being showered in free ale but heyho shopping or watching 'come dine with me 'repeats isnt viable competition for having an angry ninety minute rant.

I was there Saturday but after 20 minutes I'd have swapped for pretty much anything. It was shite. And cold. And dull. But I'll be there next time. It is just what we do.

However, I do wonder if younger fans will eventually get fed up and abandon it. The past few home games haven't exactly had much to get excited about and overall the club is not exactly a vibrant exciting place. The 80s were grim but it feels like we're back there.

I'd guess at around 2k missing season ticket holders

Im still going as my 6yo still wants to. if he didnt it would probably be a different story. Its hard to watch week in week out.

i admire him though he still wants to go

I hear it was 5k missing this week

a pint tops, if the mood takes us

It is easy to spend that; a semi cremated meat and tator brick, warmish pig scrapings in a dry, semi stale bit of bread, and a couple of over priced drinks, with no lid in case the lad chooses to launch it 150 yards into the away end and your money's gone.

It sure how much the club gets of it though.

though it's for exactly those reasons described that we generally don't bother

and the waiting time

but yeah, 2-5k STs not turning up will still hit the club in the pocket to some degree

(very) slightly more than fuck all. Approx 10% of the profit apparently, thanks to the great deal the previous regime did. Lump sum "facility" fee up front and a small cut of profits.

He just wants some quality time with his Dad!

If popular rumour be believed, our hero has borrowed £1.5m secured against EFL's January money due to Wanderers at what has been described as 'massive' interest rates to cover November and December's wage payments to staff and players.

By Christ we could do with a £6m sale this January.

So?

What was he supposed to do, if he didn't have the money?

You sarcasticly used the word hero which alludes to an opinion.  

Not sure that's the biggest problem here

Popular rumour?

Yet none of Iles / Bower/ Howell / Shortland etc have mentioned it?

Can't be that popular.

Is it popular at LoV?

I heard it from someone who has given tips in the past, thought it was worthy of debate or might've been of interest
