[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Attendance will be down when results are poor in any sport on any level.

Another new account blaming the fans. What a coincidence.

I disagree and Ill give you three examples. 1) UK hasnt been to a final four in 10 years but a UK game at Rupp is still a tough ticket to get. 2) The Pittsburgh Steelers didnt make the playoffs last year but Heinz field was sold out every week. 3) Ill even give a local example. During the mid to late 90s when Belfry was a little down ( By their standards anyway) Vipperman Stadium was still packed every friday night. So there is 3 examples of fanbase that expects nothing but championships but still they support there teams even when they arent doing well. So I guess what youre trying to say is Pikeville fans are a bunch of "Front runners". My answer to that would be....Not THIS Pikeville fan and Im sure Im not alone. Nobody on here is saying that the fans have lost games for the team. None of the fans are out there blocking or tackling. But contrary to what YOU think a community CAN affect how the football team does just by its attitude. Go ask any successful high school coach and theyll tell you that the four key ingredients to biulding a successful football program in high school is a good Little League, Jr. High, and weight training program. Its common knowledge that we were just flat out inadequate in all 3 of those departments until 2005. The fouth ingredient is where we as fans come in and thats communtiy support. Unfortunately we are still lacking in that deparment. Its a SHAME when you go to a booster club meeting and 6 people show up. I dont care if you like the coach or not there is NO EXCUSE for that.
