Looking at the remaining fixtures I can see us getting as little as another 15 points based on current form of all teams. Top 4 (& possibly top 6) could be near on impossible by the end of February.

Why would the club lose money on season tickets? Supporters shouldn't stop turning up now things aren't going well.

Talk about fickle.

I'll call them what I believe they are! I have never understood and will never understand why you would firstly stop showing your support to the team that's in your heart and secondly, even consider changing allegiances, let alone actually then start supporting another team. That is fickle. So that's what I will call people that do it.

How noble of you.

I, on the other hand will criticise fans that decide not to turn up as they only want to see success.

For next season
As some would say FAITH is defined as belief without proof. Much akin to HOPE not being a strategy. I don't see much evidence of any proof or any strategy.

Let's face it how many fans only started watching after our four domestic and two European wins years ago.
Tigers have always had peaks and troughs. We're in a deep trench at present and looks like a struggle to get out but I'm a Tiger through and through and will go week in week out to watch.
We will rise again.........

2013.

I'm sure people are annoyed at the most successful English club having not won a title since 2013. However, that does not mean people stop turning up because if it.

If one believed that fundamental change was needed then what catalyst for that change can we invoke. Repeatedly turning out only reinforces belief that change is not needed. I guess its a question of evolution v revolution. I don't have the lifespan left for evolution. :smt003

Fickle?! Costs me a grand in travel costs and ST alone to follow the Tigers. Its a 3 hour trip up, 3 hour trip home. That doesn't include refreshments or away trips.

Why on earth should I continue to hand money over to a club who have obvious problems but aren't addressing them.

I love this club and I will continue to love this club however I'm recently married and planning to start a family and buy a house. I come home from games :censored: off and upset why should I continue to give up my time and money when the players on the pitch seem less bothered about a loss than I do in the stand?!

Everyone has different reasons for stopping going to matches and that gives you no right to call people fickle if they choose to walk away.
