The poor attitude hasn't been around for month in my mind. Even though we got to the £1m game I still remember many games last season where our performances were terrible but we scraped through. This year they have been terrible but we failed to win them at the last minute. We have been lethargic for two seasons - and all those since McNamara took over.
These games though are not totally pointless. I assume we keep the home game receipts. So, if we make the semi is that 5 games where the semi is all takings. Reach the final and we get half of that. OK, each game up to the semi may only be a couple of thousand walk up at say £15 with extras added. Lets say they get £30k per game X 4. The semi could bring in say £60k and the final could bring in another £30k. If we win it we get £50k extra on our money next year. So, we do need to do well here to bring in around £260k so this is why Smith will play to win every game. We need every penny of that so we do need to go and spend money when we get into the stadium.
