I thought you'd left in disgust when you didn't reappear for the 2nd half

I wonder how that compares to recent boxing day home attendances? It does strike me as a poor Boxing Day attendance.

It is a poor boxing day atendance. Most people are sick to death with whats going on, both off the field & on it. No statement from the club RE development & going backwards on the pitch. My 1st Cobblers game was Feb 1965 v PNE. Iv'e been a ST @ Sixfields until this season, my last game was Oxford @ home this season. Lets be honest we're all really brassed off, our club is in such a sorry state. DC HAS to make a full & proper statement, never in my time have I witnessed such apathy. This REALLY is the most worried iv'e been for our club.

I think many of us have just about had enough.    It's not just the poor performances on the pitch but just about everything at the club.    There's precious little stock in the so called club shop - I was planning to buy items there for Christmas presents but no stock available in store or online.     The service in Carrs Bar is as bad as ever (though I accept this is a franchise operation).     Absolutely sick of spending 90 minutes looking at a moribund building site.     Chris Wilder sounds like a totally broken man.     Half the team seem totally disinterested.    Absolutely no atmosphere.    Unforgivable lack of information from the Chairman.    Total apathy all around.    I've been a season ticket holder for many years, was in two minds this season, and I've just about made up my mind not to renew this time round.    Only going now because I have the ticket and to be honest, I'm really not fussed these days whether I go or not - at one time a home game was unmissable.   

It's an absolute tragedy.    These must be amongst the darkest days.

Ok - the programme's not at all bad.   

Thought of some more negatives though - the PA system is rubbish, the half time "entertainment" is tired and boring, and where are the new seats we were promised for August?

The PA system is fine (as john motson proved the other week), it's the bloke who talks who doesn't have a clue how to use the microphone!!

These are the home games we've played on Boxing Day since the turn of the century......no breakdown of home fans only for the older ones i'm afraid!

26/12/2000 v Bristol City.....attendance 6,064 (L1)
26/12/2001 v Colchester.....attendance 4,740
26/12/2002 v Chesterfield.... attendance 5,282
26/12/2005 v Mansfield......attendance 6,112
26/12/2006 v Cheltenham.... attendance 5,239 (L1)
26/12/2009 v Dagenham......attendance 4,108 (3841 home 277 away)
26/12/2011 v Burton Albion..attendance 5,044 (4454 home 590 away)

The PA System is not rubbish, it is the operator - as proved by John Motson.
Can't argue with the remainder though.

Thank you GPC. It's actually not as bad as I exepected.

Maybe you could answer a question I asked earlier (I don't want the info to use as a stick to beat anyone with, I just can't for the life of me remember when it was said and which manager was in charge) When did Cardoza say "This will never happen again" About us nearly dropping out of the league?
Thanks again GPC.

The gallant 4000

More like the "gallant 3000" surely?

Those home fan numbers include VIP's, Corporate and Hospitality attendees, visiting scouts, referees friends etc, then add on the kids from the schools and you're left with nearer 3000 loyals.....

Surely if referees had friends, they wouldn't choose to be a referee.
