THE Shakers will be looking for an increased attendance for tomorrow's home clash against Port Vale.
For their last home match against Colchester only 2,577 spectators paid to get through the gates a figure that is very disappointing given the club's fine start to the season.
And chairman Terry Robinson believes that an increase in attendances could hasten the buy-out that would put the Shakers back on an even keel.
"We certainly need the support of fans in the town to keep the club alive until a takeover is in place," he said.
"If more supporters show they care by attending games it will make the club more attractive to any potential buyers.
"The Colchester match was a financial disaster for us and we desperately need a big increase on that figure."
In a recent meeting with administrators charged to sell the major shareholding the chairman was informed that discussions with interested parties are ongoing with possible offers forthcoming.
However, no indication was given of who the interested parties were.
