We will have a drop in gates next season regardless of the division we are in. Having 6k STH's not show up to many games this season is a clue to where it will go. We will still have the same support but people will go to less games and will purchase on a match by match basis.
Not really. You can build the core of your team in L1 and then play with the team that got you promoted like Shampton and now Bournemouth have done. Even Brentford came up and hit the ground running.

Fortunately I chose an apathetic frame of mind for this season. Pinch of salt and all that.

No surprise from me where we are now, whether it was...
