Bigger crowd

Sorry Cashy

[Gribbster]

tbh what we need is a big advertising campaign like rovers did with "taking back ewood"

cut prices and fingers crossed that will attract more fans!

[rude-dog]

unfortunately i think the love affair with stanley may have reached its peak for the floaters, our best hope is the kids and we need some entertainment in home games by our boys to make them want to come back.

Thought tonights game would have been a good opportunity for a kids promotion,as its half term to try and encourage the future support?? Unless something has been put in place?

To me its all about taking oppertunitys as n when, sadly don't happen as often as it should.

Does anybody else get the impression that, despite our current poor run, gates are showing signs of rising?

Wasn't that many Bulls fans on yesterday, 100 to 200 at the most, so with a 1,400 gate, there must have been 200 to 300 "non diehards".

As I said recently, there seem to be a lot more young 'uns on the Clayton End.

And just for a change, we're not finishing bottom of the attendance league (Barnet, Darlo and Macc are all below us).

Are these the first green shoots of increased interest...or is just me looking too hard for positives?

What is next years gate price?
Still £13 for the clayton end?

According to the Observer

Clayton End £15 walk on pre pay £15

Main stand £17 pre pay £13.

Is it me or does that not stack up ?

Not to be negative WH, but I just do not see where 1400 came from yesterday I and the lads around me, always try to guess it on the day, none of us had it much above 1000 Do not know what you think?? But just did not look like a crowd, main stand had plenty of empty seats - not just because Loweiy was inside And when I looked around, even Clayton End did not look full

Wants to be £15 and £10 on the day and £10 and £5 up front, if nothing else, the club would have more of an idea who was turning up - crowd size - and could the organise accordingly! What was the thing going on yesterday with moving the away fans from Cowshed, to Coppice after half an hour??

Regardless of the prices it should be, why is the pre-book price the same as the day price for the Clayton End ?

[Pendle Red]

Maybe we might see a more targetted approach with the new system when it is intorduced to ticketing?

The only stumbling block there is people who have no web access and perhaps just don't know it exsists outside the normal fans

I would like to see perhaps a targetted approach on clusters of games with decent reductions for families or individuals, maybe first two home games next season for a Tenner for an Adult and reduced rate for families etc. sort of a try then buy scheme where an option of a full season ticket or half season ticket could be offered somewhere between the price after May 4th and a walk on price for the rest of season that still makes it competitive and possibly attractive on the pocket.

The "ASFC REDZ" scheme is great for capturing the under 12's and is creating fans for the future but I would still like to see more at 12-16 year old age group as they are the going to be the mainstay and next generation age bracket becoming full adult payers or student payers.

Dunno, Val, always find it difficult to guesstimate crowd figures. Thought the gate numbers were recorded on some sort of electronic counting system? Come on, mate, help me out, I'm trying to get some sort of positive vibe going here!
