Question for Ed001 if you are about mate and not too busy with the family over etc. I just had a quick look around on the other clubs pages and generally the banter makes interesting reading. As expected, not many fans want us to win the league due to the potential gloating but want Citeh to win as they don’t know many Citeh fans😂. So I popped over to their page and you are the most regular poster with your “review of the day”. Question is, why do you think that page is nigh on redundant especially compared to the other well visited pages of supposedly lesser clubs?
Be very interested to hear your opinion.
Wishing everyone a happy and successful New Year.

{Ed001's Note - they were well served with a good website already and their fanbase is just not that large to require lots of them. Despite all the money spent, they are not exactly attracting a brand new influx of fans other than fair weather fans. For some reason they are just not getting engagement with hardcore fans.}

New fans isn’t something they will get overnight, they had there set of fans that have followed throughout but have only really been a big club for ten years. It can take generations for clubs to increase their fan base as the support generally passes down.

Football isn't a sport where you switch allegiances but they will be increasing their fan base with young kids, it just won’t be seen on sites like this for a few years yet.

I saw on Twitter (debatable then I know) that the game on Thursday wasn’t sold out yet, if you can’t even sell out the biggest home game of the season then what does that tell you.

Eds is it true they want to make the stadium bigger?
If so Why? I'd rather have Anfield 15,000 fans all on top of the players creating an atmosphere, than an half empty ground.

{Ed002's Note - The club has outline planning permission to increase capacity to 60k. They may devcide to do it or may not due to the cost.}

A quick search on their website shows that most of their remaining games are on general sale, ours is restricted to fans who have attended a game there before.

As I said above they don’t have a huge fan base, but it will get bigger over time.

Thanks for your reply Ed. My old man is a Citeh fan and is in his early seventies but was never really vocal about it until the last few years- you can imagine the banter now though.

{Ed001's Note - amazing how many became vocal only after they were successful. I discovered I worked with one for a few years but just never even knew he liked footie!}
