We’re missing 3-4 thousand core fans. 

I feel this is down, not just to the football, but the way the club and Chief have talked about the football and to the public. 

Look how quickly the women have brought in replacements compared to the men. 

Then there’s the issues with players last year and a lot of unrealistic expectations.

It feels like about half the fan base were happy to give Chief some time this year, but not too much. They’ve been gone for 4 home games and we’ve seen nothing yet which suggests in any way that any of them will be back, bouncy castles and water fights or not. 

I think it can’t be left until the end of the season and probably should be done now to let the new coach a little time before the next home game.

I think perhaps people will give a new coaches bad results at the start of a reign and picking up the pieces more time. Perhaps there would even be a new coach bounce. 

These are fans who were at non derby games this season who weren’t at any of the last 4. I don’t think we can ignore the consistently low crowds.
the difference in crowd of the derby this season in comparison to last season should have sent alarm bells ringing.
