Just for reference Jezza, when we were going through the biggest and most successful rebuild at the club between 2007-10, we had plenty at games despite a struggling and young side. Far more than at present.
2007 - 11th - 37,474 per game
2008 - 14th - 35,877 per game
2009 - 14th - 33,144 per game
2010 - 6th - 37,084 per game
That's a 3yr rebuild and turn around from being just short of facing the OOFTIT's in a GF in 2006 (and most likely a premiership) to back in the race for a premiership in 2010. Over that time crowds dropped a little but the club had many die hards by this point who stuck by through the tough times.
I'm unsure what our average crowd will be this season (our last few attendances have been 27,050, 30,080, 38,722 in a home derby full of OOFTIT's and 30,541) but It will almost certainly be very low again this weekend after dropping to 31,416 per game last season as we floundered.
It's a pretty fair indication of the supporters and fans lack of faith in those in charge but based on past interactions with those who run our club, I don't think they care. That we could be 10yrs further down the track and have less fans showing up and even worse results on the field is a far cry from where we should be.
