Now this isn't a defence of the board but...

...a decade ago our average attendance was 317. Now our (official) average attendance is 263. Granted, this is boosted by a RPV home game and whether we can trust the figure, I don't know...

Anyway, if a decade ago you'd told me that we would leave Kingsmeadow, play in Leatherhead for a year, play at Cor-Cas for a year, play in Mitcham for two years, get relegated, and then move to RPV, I'd have expected an attendance drop of much, much more than 17%! For a start, we're playing some really small clubs who only bring about 10 fans.

While I hope more than anything for a new ground in-and-around Kingston - and obviously it's looking less likely with every passing year - even if the board do pull off a miracle, my fear is that they/we think that's job done, the crowds will come flocking back.

But again, even in the league above, playing in Kingston, we were only pulling in 317. I guess this a long-winded way of pointing out that the incompetence goes back a decade or so, in terms of putting our name out there.
