I know Jon’s not one to browse forums such as this and has traditionally been pretty poor at gaging fan temperature on the likes of ticket prices, but do you reckon he has any inclination as to our dissatisfaction with Shanks?

Surely there comes a point when you accept the big hits are a thing of the past and realise it is your hardcore support that will sustain you. His loyalty to Shanks surely jeopardises that very element of his audience.

Moreover is Shanks aware of his unpopularity? The guy seems so full of himself I’d doubt he care either way..
