Really hope we can get a big crowd down at Hayden for this one, another difficult game, don't know if any of the 7 day approaches will be done in time to play but Chris has a session on Wednesday with the squad so we will see if he can get some sort of reaction from them.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

Yes, we'll see how the fans react to the new manager's first home game. I'd be happy with 450 to be honest.

Personally just hope we break the 400 mark really, would have been hard to believe a few seasons back that we would get to January not having even a crowd above 400, but that's sadly where we're at. New manager and bank Holiday will hopefully bring in a few more then usual but ultimately until we have a decent winning team again crowds probably won't get much better.

I’d be very surprised if we get around 400, more likely I’d say around the 300 mark again, but fingers crossed the new manager will encourage some more to get out of their armchairs and come and support the club.

New Year's Day (plus 1) always attracts a decent crowd. Unfortunately St Ives will only bring 20-30 supporters. Only hope game goes ahead as we have a poor record for cancellations during the holiday period.

A chance to see some new faces in the team and a better performance all round would be a good start to the new year. Our season has to start tomorrow if we are to have any chance of staying up so let's get behind the manager and HIS team.

If we disregard Alvechurch who have loads of games in hand then we are currently 14 points adrift of 5th from bottom and with our horrendous GD that is effectively 15 points. The Great Escape starts tomorrow. 🤔.
