Our home game v Mansfield postponed due to international call up another game I won't be able to make. This is really starting to annoy me. |

Brisbane Road is becoming a ghost town.

Given the amount of international players playing in the English leagues now, even down at our level, surely it’s time they started pausing the leagues for international breaks, as they do with the higher leagues. I’m sure we’ve had games called off every international break so far this season.

This means we will have played only 3 3pm games at home in the league before Christmas this season. Birmingham, Wrexham, Blackpool

Birmingham, Wrexham, Blackpool I was considering a half season ticket, but with TV games to be announced and rescheduling, I don’t think I will bother. Hoping FA cup is Saturday 3pm, but expect it will be on Sunday. |

Who is to blame? The FA or the EFL?

All that money we get from the TV deal is being diminished by KO time changes and international calls ups. Wonder whether it was worth it.

It’s a pain and fixtures have been unkind, that’s for sure. But crowds dropping is a little deeper than being on a Tuesday night. Our neighbours out east have no problem getting near 6000/6500 on a Tuesday night in the National League and they don’t have anywhere near the 4000 head start we have. If our home form was better the impact would not be so bad.

Those of us who do go to the home matches feel it is their fault the attendance is low.But despite our home record the attendance stands up very well.Fickle football fans fulfill future fears for frothing furiously. |

So I’m not a real fan because these days I only see a few games a season and pick wisely those I go to, which is affected by performance. Good to know. Other people are not real fans because they choose to spend their disposable money carefully and want value for money and crap results they consider not good value. Teams playing well attract more people. Crap results don’t. Real fan description nothing to do with it. |
