| That's 'an' issue! Poor prep, inadequate familiarisation, an 'ordinary' looking squad - if the expected tonkings happen early on, the crowds will hardly flock to support the cause. The away fans will drop the fixture as NOT being one of their priorities! e.g. some Wakey fans on a restricted budget (I know loads!!) may have to pick and choose which away games they go to. With the crusaders perhaps being looked upon as a foregone conclusion (again, it is by many I know, not all - but by most), then they may prioritize a trip to Leeds, Cas, Northern, Wigan etc than the expense of a journey to Wrexham to see a nowt game!!!! - and believe me, that's how some of the people I know who watch SL are now regarding the crusaders fixture!!
As I said, that's "IF" the expected happens!

The other way of looking at is that he's got a team made up of players with something to prove.

I totally agree with this post.I would not travel to see a boring one sided game.They will come bottom of the league, and to be honest i do not agree with celtic getting a franchise place.

However more away fans are likely to travel expecting their team to get two points and maybe give the other team a tonking

I would love to take you seriously,  no honestly I would  you forgot to mention that we owe money to the IR our dwindling support, no chance of a franchise for 2012 and that we need to play a friendly against you after the start of the season to help pay our bills, I've just about covered most things but feel free if you remember anything else.
