So it suits them for it to be off for a completely different reason than you originally were suggesting other teams were doing then.
And on attendances, perhaps the fact that Rusk has gone played a part? Perhaps its the bounce from Bolton? Perhaps its the fact that COVID made many miss games for 18 months so they were desperate to come back? All of which are more likely than the departure of someone who will be remembered, at worst, as the 2nd best manager the club has ever had.
Gannon's return in 2015 saw the average attendance rise by 1600 by the end of the promotion season, by which point County, in the 6th tier, had a better average attendance than almost all of the National League and almost half of League One.
And you're still acting like Challinor directly replaced Gannon and conveniently not mentioning the 9 month embarrassment under Rusk, an appointment you backed quite vocally, I might add. You do seem to gloss over that period, I wonder why?
