I would doubt it as someone who doesn't go won't buy a season ticket just because we look half decent and and how many casuals are going to fork out £ 20 up front to get a fiver off or pay £20 a game. If we were being realistic, would we even pay a fiver to go to ewood or turf moor if accy were away? Some might just to watch football but most wouldn't.
The low season ticket prices only appeals to those who would buy one anyway and the loyalty card at £20 won't appeal to the casuals who might only do the odd game if any anyway so really it is the same as last season and that was almost universally unpopular price wise.
It might look good value if we get to league 1 but not if we get a regular beating and hover at the botttom. What is the answer? I don't know but the death of the flexi puts me off to a small extent.
Time was I would go to the football slavishly, mostly Rangers games but still about a dozen or so Accy games. Now following the way Scottish fans are treated and the way Scottish football is hating it's self to death, it's now far more Stanley games but I have reached the stage where I could easily take it or leave it especially when the grandkids are here and I am not the only one. Football is no longer "a matter of life and death" or even a major attraction these days in the lower leagues and those who have a business plan of "build it and they will come" could be in for a rude awakening.
On that note, I have a "home" game tomorrow for a change so roll on beer o'clock in Carlisle tomorrow
