Often, when push comes to shove in radicalising a group of football supporters, it will take
one, symbolic moment to push those that might otherwise have merely got on with the job of watching
their team to realise that the time for action is now.
For those that follow the ailing Blue Square Premier club Kettering Town, that moment may have
come at any of three or four different occasions over the last month or so, but the tipping point
for many may have cone with twin five-goal defeats at the hands of Luton Town over Christmas and
the New Year (results which plunged the club back into the thick of the relegation places at the
bottom of the table), it with the release of an official club statement which sought,
unsurprisingly enough, to place the blame for the club's woes at the foot of everybody but those
with the overall responsibility for managing its finances.
Back after a hiatus, I present you the latest attendance figures from the Major Indoor Soccer
League. As you may or may not know, United Soccer Leagues took over the MISL this season and
brought it under their umbrella along with its nascent I-League. The result is a seven-team league
that's averaging right about what the old one was through the same number of games a year ago.
