Its not patronising it's true. If you speak to their fans about their

attendances they will tell you the same thing as one of the reasons why their average attendance is much lower than what they occasionally pull in for big games. Its actually not that big a place population wise either compared to our catchment area.Its a place with high unemployment and low average wages. ?60-?70 a ticket may put a few off.

Some of the areas around Middlesboro though are a different matter.

Norwich is not exactly Monaco either but i would be surprised if unemployment is as high.
