I travelled several times to watch us against Coventry in the new stadium up there and 15000 , with 1000 of us looked bloody awful

We may think we are a bigger club than Coventry but we ain't
If our crowds dropped to 10,000 in League 1 it would mean we have struggled. If we were pushing for promotion from the off, I doubt we'd lose 5,000 as you suggest. As I've said, it's not the 80s any more.
