That is like asking us to go to the cinema and watch the same old bad movie time and time again because the studio that made it is hard up.
Despite the hard core support, football is still an entertainment business and some, believe it or not, want to see a decent game of footy accompanied by a good result now and again! The powers that be at any football club know this and will market the club accordingly. Regularily field a team that cannot sustain reasonable results along with entertainment value and the crowd numbers are bound to drop.
To blame it on the stay away fans is so wide of the mark. The fans at sfc have witnessed and suffered a bunch of tw*ts turning this club into an utter shambles over the last few years, not just Lowe, all of them, so much so that I am surprised we are even getting 14,000 atm.
