The sad fact is that people are staying away because of Lowe.
Rightly or wrongly, the very fact Lowe has come back has knocked the stuffing and passion out of a lot of fans, that some now prefer to play than watching at weekends, or doing something different all together.
I also believe the Itchen Corner closure has another small part to play in declining attendances. It was an area of the ground where lads could congregate and have a good drink pre-match, half time, after etc but the fact that the first blocks have been shut has stopped 40-50 non renewals and the occasional non regular crowd that would follow because of the social side of it.
That said, the lads are playing some tidy football and I can imagine it is eating into a lot of fans not being there, but some really have made the stand.
They'll be back one day, if the debt can go, we will rise again.
Support the lads
