Should Wilson be sacked

[thedarkprince]

How many people won't renew next season because of how bad it has been?

At this rate probably between 1,000-2,000 as a rough guess, I already know of people who aren't/thinking of not renewing.

Really? That's 20-40%(ish).

I don't have one this year but I think I'd be more likely to if we were in league2

[thedarkprince]

if we're in League 2 probably a good proportion.
If we manage to stay up it's likely to depend on who is manager by then and who we sign - a scrap ending in a narrow escape with Wilson still at the helm then many less ST holders next year - and expect crowds about 6,000 or less.

And if we finish the season strongly?

[cheltred69]

Why?  Did you watch L2 football last time we were down there?  the quality is crap.  I can't imagine it will be cheaper so why would you be likely to want to watch that?  Is it because you think we'd be winning most weeks?

A memory jogger from 5 years ago.  These were the first few home fixtures of 2006.

Sat, Jan 21 2006
STFC 4-2 Bournemouth
Attendance: 6,092

Tues, Jan 31 2006
STFC 1-0 Walsall
Attendance: 4,597

Sat, Feb 4 2006
STFC 2-1 Doncaster
Attendance: 5,100

Crowds have come on a long way.

And if we finish the season strongly?

Sorry my answer did focus on the negative.  If we do turn things around then the optimism will likely result in about as many ST holders as last year (but still not as many as this as I guess a good number were spurred on by the playoffs).

[cheltred69]

I think one of the main reasons for the increase in crowds has been the good pricing policy for STs.
Attendance figs always include ST holders regardless of whether they attend.
You only need to go to about 13 games to make it worthwhile buying a ST.  Before that it was about 18 or 19, like it is at most clubs.

Out STs are great value since Fitton arrived.  I noticed that a Crawley ST is more expensive than mine in the DRS.

[thedarkprince]

Woo! 50-50 split.  Like Ben, wasn't expecting it to be so close.

I think DW still (rightly) has 'fan capital' remaining from last season.  It could run out soon, though.

[Craigo276]

I say get him gone and could we call on Budgie at least for 6 months with bodin his assistant?

If not ill take any up and coming manager not anybody off the managerial roundabout, such as wilson who go from club to club doing the same thing. Eg. Parkinson, Laws etc we don't it

I think one of the main reasons for the increase in crowds has been the good pricing policy for STs.

That was the main reason for me getting a season ticket again after many years without one. But no matter how good the prices are there is only so much shit football you can put up with. No matter what happens over the next few months, if Wilson is in charge next season there is fuck all chance of me getting another season ticket.

It's all pretty frustrating though. Attendances are moving in the right direction this season and another good season would have pushed them even higher, which means more money which means better players and a better ground and so on. Instead we're looking at them going down next season and a massive step backwards.

Getting rid of Wilson now would avoid that, even if we end up mid table.

[Simon Pieman]

That's exactly where I'm at right now Mr Batch. For some one who has expressed 100% faith in Wilson throughout his time at the club, that faith is now being pushed to breaking point.

Thought you had lost faith the other night?

Really?  So if 1,000 people that had season tickets all missed the same game and the attendance was given as 7,800, it would in truth only be 6,800?

Back to the purpose of this thread, Wilson needs to go.  His record this season and from the back end of last is quite honestly appalling.    Last season was brilliant, but fundamently we got nowhere and we are now in a worse league position than when he took over.  

The other main issue is that it's clear to us all that there's disharmony within the team for whatever reason.  As the manager of that team it's part of his role to sort it out and clearly he's not able to.  

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Thought you had lost faith the other night?

Nope. I said I was utterly fucked off with how this season is going. I han't lost faith in Wilson but I am seriously wavering at the moment.

[woolster]

cant be arsed to look up the stats, but if someone can could they please count how many games we have won since tranmere last season, which is in the region of around 30 games
