Saturday's game v Hampton & Richmond is going to be streamed live for free on KSI's youtube channel.

Not sure how this will affect the attendance, seeing as it is non-league day.

I think that the 'KSI effect' and the atmosphere at the recent home games will likely boost the crowd rather than reduce it. Think of it as an unbelievable global advert for the club and imagine the numbers that will put on the gate for future games and hopefully the whole of next season. I just wish they would put some more bar staff on in the Pipe Major pre-match now we are massive!

Dare I say, drink in the clubhouse?!

Oh I am not knocking it at the moment. Loving all the genuine attention and new fanbase we are growing. It is so far removed from the hate of last year.

All positive at the moment, and will almost certainly have an impact at the start of next season as a new manager, staff, players etc are brought in to the club and a focus on 2026/27 can begin... Ultimately though, any good will can only last if the results and performances on the pitch improve and stay at a level that will get fans down in late November on a Tuesday night against a part-time opposition.

Positive signs already in AC's first game just in the positive way we played and the attacking intent on show but we can't have that momentum only lasting two games maximum, like it has for most of the season to date

And I get a free and legal stream of the game live AND I have a meeting Saturday morning. I'll just keep the volume down I guess.
