Simonstone and Kipax, what ARE you on??

At which point did I claim to have been in attendance on Saturday??

I just didn't.

If you have actually bothered to read my initial post I would think it blatently obvious that I wasn't on.

Sussed? Did you go to school SimonStone? You're a real sleuth eh, ha!

Its as if the pair of you fail to understand the tone of the entire thread. It is all about reasons WHY the attendance is poor, WHY people like ME dont feel motivated to come on anymore.

Do you get that??

You think saying 'huh, you're 'avin a go and you didn't even come on yourself' is going to help??

No, it isn't.

Thats about as motivational as sending a child to the paper shop with the incentive being "i'll time you".

You guys need to get a grip.

If you want to continue feeling that you're part of an exclusive(somewhat low grade) 'old boys club' then continue with your current approach, you will have your way because nothing will change.

It will only be to the detriment of this club you profess to love though.

You will not get people back by making them feel guilty because they wont.

I have given stanley plenty of dosh in the past, through the turnstile and over the bar.

I wont feel guilty though for refusing to pay 12 quid a match when I dont see any progress being made.

If you're hardcore you will pay it, as I would pay whatever they ask at Everton, but you cant expect your 'supplimentary' fan base to do likewise. they are always going to be success/player signing driven.

Its the same all through the league, everton included.

At Goodison we have a solid 32 000 I would say, they will come what may, the rest though, they pick and choose.

With our relative success last year we will be sold out most weeks this, however, should we not build upon last season(we have though, strengthening the squad impressively) then the gate would certainly decrease again next year.

Thats how fickle people are but its is the way it is, you just have to deal with it.

Im all for initiatives but I am just being honest, word of mouth and ticket incentives dont work. It may have an effect in the very short term but financially that is useless because they are not full price tickets being sold.

If the club make a big signing(not some benin international nobody has ever heard of being dressed up as the next Cantona) then people will come back, no doubt at all.

They will pay the 12 quid as well, no gimmicks.

You know im right and you know this is the rockest thread ever.

Im the man.
