    You're making a flawed argument.

    Boxing Day / Christmas Holiday / New Year crowds are always significantly bigger for every club, regardless of league position.

    You can't compare a Boxing Day crowd to the Swindon game before, or the Grimsby game on the 4th, because it was always going to be bigger. If anything, you're clutching at straws if you're going to attempt to suggest the Boxing Day attendance is an indicator that fans aren't staying away. One look at the Swindon, Barrow, et al crowds will tell you that fans are staying away in their droves.

    Coventry played 2 seasons without a home. Are we prepared to do the same?

    Didn’t use the words nailed on. Probably, taking this season into account with a top 4 budget
    The question you need to answer is….Would Rupp fund the massive shortfall to prevent that

    We might need to go up to get rid of Rupp. This season is as good as any. We've been pants and we're still in the mix.

    And you really want to trust a guy you so publicly slated and who we never see or hear from?
    I don’t like the guy and believe he needs to go for us to progress but protesting with ST renewals is one way traffic to NL

    It will be interesting to see what happens at Carlisle! Taken over by the American Piatak family, Castle group. Given Carlisle’s total collapse under their tenure from League One to rock bottom of League Two, facing relegation to the NL, can they ‘buy’ their way out of the total mess. Sometimes new owners are not the messiah’s they look like. Be interesting to see @Bluebry@Bluebry view!

    Just look at these supposed figures, ‘…according to Google, a multiplier of 1-2.5 should estimate the company's (and piatak's) worth at 400million-1billion’. Now that is serious money……..yet……Carlisle are sinking fast!

    Probably a better comparison would be subsequent years when we have played at Home on Boxing Day.

    I agree, ownership isn’t just about balancing books or throwing money at it
    Running of the club is how clubs succeed
    Unfortunately our owner does neither of these

    Rupp has more than €8mill of his own money 'invested' in our club. As you say, he would want to protect that investment rather than watch it go down the pan. The idea of him sitting on his ar&e and doing nothing about it is for the birds. He will have to do something to safeguard his own position. That's the purpose of applying pressure on him in both financial and PR terms from different directions.

    As some have made the desion not to attend games as long as Rupp and others are at our club I wouldn't think that would make any difference.

    Rupp only has to see, how the club he bought had a bouncing crowd with brilliant atmosphere, has now become a soulless shell of is former self. We had 3 sides of the ground singing in unison, but even on the big games we struggle to raise a tune. We might report 16k attendances but it's a chore to attend. It doesn't help that we are team without an identity.

    Really so how come so maany clubs never ended up in the NL doing the very same thing ??????

    You have it in your head that should 5k go missing thats it the end we are doomed on a one way path to non league when we will be ok.
    He simply does not care and maybe know its time he started to realise thatvif aint gonna do something that it will start to cost him to fund his own mediocrity.................we aint even talking millions here we are talking that the club is run in the right manner with the right folk at the helm which is clearly not the case now
