Ok, so the gate for the first home game of the season today may have only been just over a 100 more than rocked up at Corby. And half the number that turned up at little old Banbury. But, considering the enormous issues facing Kettering Town fans every week of every season, it's a miracle as many people turn up at Latimer Park as they do.
Especially when you consider -
August - September
Everyone is on their holidays. How are we supposed to pack out the Morrisons End when we're all at Skeggy or Sunny Hunny? And if we're not all busy paddling away in the grey North sea, it's FAR too hot for football - see below.
October - November - December
What with back-to-school, Halloween, Bonfire Night and the build up to Christmas is it any surprise we all have plenty of room to move around in the Tin Hat?
January - February
Forget it. Every game will be called off due to snow / ice / rain / pandemic. If, by some miracle our players actually take to the pitch who can afford to watch football after pissing all their money away at Christmas? And who wants to go to a game when it's so perishing cold? Brrrr....
March - April - May
How are we supposed to get up to Latimer Park several times per week to make up for all the previously postponed fixtures? Totally ridiculous of the club to expect us to actually make the effort to get to our home ground to watch our team.
So, there you have it. If we get ANYONE up to Latimer Park the club should consider themselves damn fortunate. Somehow every other club has the same stresses and strains on attendance but seem to get people that consider themselves as supporters to actually support their club. No, we don't know how, either.
This season will be doubly difficult as we don't have the attraction of the untraditionally gorgeous Jordan Crawford to get us in through the turnstiles and the seemingly guaranteed 5-0 wins we mysteriously recall enjoying every Saturday last season.

ReplyDeleteYou left out the bit about the club not signing players like Cole Stockton from Morecambe as he scores goals or getting Matty Stevens back as he would obviously prefer it here now that FGR have signed Connor Wickham.
