Not sure I buy into the attendances argument though. Lets face it West Brom & Derby have not got 6 other premiership clubs on their doorstep - one of which is Man Utd who are probably equivalent to two clubs attendance wise. Add to this the myriad of championship and lower league clubs in the same patch and I think we do OK. Could be better though.
Wigan coming up at a time when attendances have been fallin generally has not helped.

Jussi future to be resolved
Jaaskelainen set to depart Bolton
Jussi Jaaskelainen's future will be resolved shortly, his agent has confirmed, although he will almost certainly not be at Bolton.
The Finland shot-stopper has been at The Reebok Stadium for 11 years, playing over 300 times for The Trotters.
However, Jaaskelainen is now set to depart the club when his contract expires this summer, and his representative Peter Harrison has confirmed that Bolton have shown little interest in securing his future.
"We have had one round of talks with Bolton and that was some 12 months ago, since then we have heard nothing," Harrison told skysports.com.
Interest
Now a host of clubs are believed to be showing an interest with Middlesbrough the latest side strongly linked.
Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham all have a long-standing interest in the Finn, although clubs from Spain, Italy and Germany are also attracted by the promise of landing him as a free agent.
"There are several clubs showing an interest and we would expect a deal to be tied-up soon," Harrison added

For all those who haven't managed to get tickets to Chelsea, this match will be our last chance to see the likes of Campo, Diouff and Stelios 'cause more than likeley, relegated or not these players who have served us well in past seasons (prior to Mugson) will be leaving this Summer so this is our last chance to give them a cracking send off, that is if Mugson lets them play so lets get behind the players and wish them well

Dont know which team Jon W has been watching if he has only seen one poor performance at home this season. I,ll be back when I see some ambition.The sale of Anelka and the Lisbon fasco were the final straws for me(yes I know you can only have ONE final straw but you get my point!)

For those fans who cannot go to Chelsea that idiot manager should have the decency to play Campo, Stelios, Diouf and give the fans the chance to give them a good send off, I dont think that is to much to ask. I will be there cheering the lads on and hoping for those 3 points. You can do it Bolton. COME ON YOU WHITES

I enjoy the banter, the atmosphere, seeing players like Cahill, Gardner, Al Habsi perform. Megson may be doing his best to ruin our team but so far he hasnt made me hate everything about the matches. If you havent been to any games since Anelka was sold how do you know what the games have been like???

Thats if the manager would have been strong enough to stand up to Gartside. I must give you some credit though for being brave enough to admit you are a Megson fan. Must be something in the air in Windermere

Despite not being there tomorrow I do wish the team all the best and I will have my fingers crossed they do the business..I will be there next season whatever divison they are in but ONLY if Megson isnt..I refuse to pay hard earned cash to watch the tripe he calls football.This isnt a dig at the team but the manager...We deserve so much better.The thought of football in the fizzy pop league with Megson in charge is more than I can stand.They have been and always will be my club but I refuse to be taken for granted by Gartside and co any more...I have to admit that this decision is easier for me to take than for others as have a job that regularly means I cant get to many games anyway and I have to pick and choose my games. HERES HOPING!!

When Mr Megson took over we where in the bottom three and falling like a stone ,he has turned that around and tomorrow with everyone pulling in one direction we have a chance.

But I have been to all the home games this season and in the league we have been on the front foot for most games, we may have been poor v City and Fulham but certainly we were the better team in both games and the only team likely to score. If you think we werent trying to score in those games you plainly didnt go to them. I dont think I have said anything that anyone could disagree with - I have enjoyed watching most games at the Reebok this season because they have been close, well contested games, and we have tried to win most or all of them. If only we could just get Megson to pick our best players.

[/quote] fulham, derby, man city and middlesboro to name a few of dire games which we didnt even look like we knew the rules were to try and score goals. the only entertaining games i can think of this season at home: reading, arsenal (despite result good to see two teams playing for the victory) and wigan. there have also been a couple of enjoyable, if very boring games such as west ham, man u and birmingham. but overall the majority of home games this season have been awful, its always most interesting seeing evenly matched teams but we have been completely outclassed on numerous occasions, and then often when playing the other awful teams (of which we are very fortunate there are plenty this season) have looked completely toothless and unable to conjure up anything
ive always said the reebok is a lifeless stadium, killing the enjoyment of football, but watching football itself has always been enjoyable. this season though its been worse than watching a sunday league side, certainly in terms of passion, but also skill
