So you say its perfectly OK to have a drop off at essendon because of 'turmoil' but not to have a drop off at hawthorn (which you will not I did not deny) because it doesn't suit your point
HA!
You don't understand the point mate, if you did you wouldn't have come out with this nonsense.
You see sunshine, here's the difference - no one is trying to DENY that Essendon dropped off in 2016. It happened, no one disputes it.
But here's your comment:
"If that continues not many fans will drop off"
Well clearly they are. 20% At the moment - that's a fair bloody chunk, particularly when you consider Hawk fans hadn't quite comprehended just how bad they'd be when they signed up for memberships, reserved seats and so on.
But then, you compounded the nonsense:
"CupCake? five year figures noron."
Why oh why wouldn't you CHECK those figures before opening your mouth. We had two things happen simultaneously - Essendon had it's worst ever period, Hawks had their best - and you are STILL, demonstrably, not as well attended. I'm not offering any groundbreaking insight here, you could have checked those figures yourself...
anyway, your figures are interesting. we have less support but four flags, you have better everything but.. well you know very well how bad youve performed
Actually we have sixteen flags. So better everything - you could have stopped there.
