I packed in 4 years ago, due to family reasons which meant a change of priorities. I also don't doubt that they have been many who refuse to return until Ashley has left the club, regardless of how the team do. It's just the way things are and coupled with the current economic climate, a drop in attendances was always going to happen. Of course, it's not just NUFC who are experiencing this - it's across the board though Hartlepool buck the trend with their fantastic deals on s/t's.
