The Sporting Life yesterday/early this morning had the crowd as 19,995.

Me suspects the club added a few on after the result to ensure no further negative spin. Still pitiful.

 

Some people can't be arsed that's the bottom line, unfortunately it's infectious.

seeing as the press get their figures from the club, and the club announced the figure as 20k+, i'm not having that one

Well I'll stake Nolan's food bill on it, the Sporting Life often release the attendance mid-way through the match and they put 19,995 and it was like that till midnight. I see they've updated it unfortunately.

If I've said it once, I've said it thousands of times.

 

REDUCE THE PRICES.

 

I also know of loads who dont go anymore, saying its too expensive.

 

Cast your minds back to Balckburn last year....?15 quid.....and we sell out.

 

NOT HARD TO FIGURE REALLY IS IT.

Bollocks...

 

I just can't be arsed...pure and simple...

 

not for a Tenner...fiver...or a double bar kit kat...

 

and do i miss it...

 

Not one bit..

 

and I think once you have lost those fans, they aren't ever going to return...

Rubbish, if it were 15 brick a match...you'd go back....you know it.....or has walking round the Trafford centre on a Sat afternoon gone to your numb skull???

I'd say that's more to do with lads getting older, family commitments and changing lifestyles than anything the club have done and it happens all over. How many did we get on the gate week in / week out, when these lads went?

 

Where BWFC have struggled to do is attract other supporters amongst the 300,000 people (at a guess?) that live in or around Bolton. And I don't think it's a particularly easy job.

 

Kids for a quid is great to get them in, but realistically how many do you reckon of that lot that went on Thursday, went home and begged their folks for a ticket for Sunday? And of those that did do, how many could afford it?

 

Irt's already been said that reducing prices may bring in newer fans, but if nothing will bring back Bobcat etc, it's a redundant debate

You want to lay off those steroids pal, they're making you agressive.

Edited October 8, 200718 yr by chief wiggum

its not steroids

 

he's supped some of this

 

aye 5/10 pound a ticket and we struggled to about 19k including all the scrotes on kids for a quid.

 

price is a shitty excuse when it comes to games like that.

 

whilst ?31 quid is a bit steep it's still cheaper than most prem teams.

 

You cannot increase your long term customer base with 'once in a season' offers. You need to do it regularly until you have a hook into them.

 

Saying 'its pointless reducing prices, look, we made it a fiver to watch our millionaires play some pig farmers on a Thursday night and only 19000 bothered turned up' and use it as a sound business plan.

 

Its just boll?cks.

 

Look at Asda for example, they continually have cheap offers to tempt you in, they don't just do it in January when everyone is eating cabbage soup.

 

And saying ?31 is OK because thats what others charge, does not make it justifiable.

Will you stop talking sense - WW is for p?ss-taking and sl?gging your own fans (most on here just love slating their own)

Lots of people still go, many of whom were around in the 70s and 80s. I don't slate any Bolton fan who loves the club, as I'm sure you do and so does Smiffs and Bobcat. But those of us who DO go get fed up of being slagged off as mugs by the likes of those who don't. Our average attendance in the'50's was not much better than it is now, and the price of getting into a game then was of no consequence to any working man. If people don't want to go, fine, but spare the rest of us the excuses. I will mention the usual disclaimer of those that genuinely can't afford, live miles away etc. I just don't get how people who live in the Bolton area (who could afford it) would rather watch it on dodgy than go. Please enlighten me.

 

BTW my season ticket including my 13 year old son was ?434.00, ?22.82.00 a game for the two of us. Exactly how cheap do you expect it to be?

BWFC price their tickets based on income, they shouldn't but they do.

 

If they put on cheap tickets and no c?nt shows up the suits will be thinking whats the point if no fecker turns up. thus back up goes ticket prices.

 

They'll also look aty how expensive other prem teams are and say well our tickets are cheaper than most what more do they want.

 

I'm all for cheap tickets but it'll never happen as when the cheap tickets are available the attendances are very poor to say the least.

 

it'll be nigh on a sell out against man u i fear bolton fans turn up to see the opposition rather than the wanderers, as far as i see it it should be the same price against fulham as man united as you're there to see BWFC not the opposition!
