anthonyj Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 That Norwich City fan who posted a while ago made a great point. He said they targeted younger supporters with cheap season tickets when they were struggling with dwindling attendances. Basically got young fans in for nothing so that they buy into the club for life. It also goes without saying if we did this we would need a more attractive product than at present to keep them here. Looks like that strategy has worked well for them. I know they hav'nt got the competion for fans that this area has, but if think woukd be merit in this plan for us.

But if you want fans onside and to expect them to buy season tickets up front, you can’t treat them like shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) To be fair to the yoof. They’re probably a very large percentage of our ‘go weeklys’ At the minute inspite of the shit being served up my lads 15 and him and his group (about a dozen of em) have hardly missed a game since Xmas. And there a number of similar groups who do the same Whereas the groups of 12 fellas who used to go together have now dwindled to ones and twos all over the show its not about attracting the 7-10 Yr olds. It’s abour attracting the fuckers who have to take them Edited May 10, 2019 by barrycowdrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So give tickets away and make sure you're winning most weeks and playing good football...aye...not like everyone else will be trying that.... Clubs like ours to survive need fans coming out whatever the club is going through...ultimately that's the bottom line. We've enjoyed the ups and now we need to support the club through the downs...that's football isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s abour attracting the fuckers who have to take them I'll go along with this as I'm seeing the same thing - I'd struggle to get someone to jump back on for a game with a free ticket but my lad did probably 35 league games last season and one of his mates did all 45. They don't understand why everyone their age doesn't go with it being so cheap and people our age wonder why anyone goes at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 There’s pretty much fuck all can be done regarding boosting home numbers, our ceiling has been hit. We are in a shit position geographically to be getting more than we do its easy to compare the old prem days attendances but let’s not forget when we had one of our best ever seasons in 97 we averaged 15k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
