Absolutely agree, ideally we would sell 25k+ every week achieve a bit of short term success, then SISU could sell us and we can all move on. But it's evident that the 10-15k aren't going to suddenly start turning up again so it's up to the club to take the initiative to bring them back instead...
All the more reason for a big movement by the club targeted at getting fans coming back.
None of this nonsense about charging £500 and £30 for tickets. You'd be down to 7k or lower in no time at those prices.
He is a bit clumsy at times but he makes things happen, very direct player. That run he did directly from kick off would have been talked about years if he had a better finish or pass at the end of it.
Had some other good moments which he pretty much created himself.
I dunno about a lot but one that stands is when he broke though from midfield, he had Nouble and Jackson running either side. Tried to slide in Nouble but was a poor pass
So basically you are saying Thomas doesn't do any of these things.
So he isn't a great passer or dribbler, he doesn't have pace, can't really shoot, not a great tackler and can't cross.
Is your post meant to be in defence of Thomas? :confused:
That's half the problem, 11k and the turnstiles and tickets offices were in meltdown.
It gives them two weeks to sort out the basics now till the Preston match, which is only the beginning. After that it's about introducing and putting in place new initiatives to bring back the fans.
I know someone who bought tickets online before hand and missed the first 10 minutes of the match because he was queuing to collect.
Agreed hopefully the two week break will give the club a chance to sort out the problems. Getting the basics right is only the beginning though.
The fan base potential is there, it's up to the club to get them coming through the gate.
People aren't going to queue up for 1-2 hours and do all the running around and chasing for tickets in a regular L1 fixture.
Yea he looked really sharp today, not just the quality but picking up second balls and his reactions seemed really sharp. He was two steps ahead of anyone else on the pitch at times today
