       The comment about players not acknowledging support, Ive made
       comments myself about that in the past, it was very different on
       Saturday, and yep does make a difference when you spend your
       hard earned
       But as Grimsby has said we are playing some good rugby at the
       moment

       Let's not get carried away... we played some excellent rugby on
       Saturday but that's the exception rather than the rule this
       season! I'm praying that it's a corner turned as it was
       exhilarating to watch.

       Can't remember any away performances like Newcastle last season.
       And with Gloucester, that's 2 in half of this season, so
       reasonable to think a corner might have been turned.

       I'll keep hoping but I've been less than impressed by several
       home performances as well this season.

       In my case. Live on the South Coast. Work a 60 hour week. Have
       other commitments. Make every effort to get to home games but
       fridays are a nightmare. Away at Bath, Gloucester, etc, love it,
       Newcastle? You work it out.  Peoples lives change.

       Spot on Cookie, also think the win against Chiefs and the very
       close run game against Sarries and the Bonus points shows we are
       improving
       QuinAlan, yes plenty of people travel a long way, I’m just
       asking a question as to why the numbers do appear to be down a
       lot more this season

       To be fair, SiB, folks have just had Christmas & New Year, and
       travelling that distance on the weekend before a lot of folks go
       back to work is asking a lot. That's particularly true for those
       who aren't based inside the reach of the tube network. For me it
       would've meant a likely 2 nights away on top 6 plus hours each
       way train. It's just not feasible for a lot of folks & hardly
       surprising, tbh.

       well, numbers just appear to be down

       others have said gates also slightly down
