Corky Posted 3 July 2009 Share Posted 3 July 2009 Prices look alright, will be going (enjoy the friendlies, relaxed atmosphere, not much at stake). Hope we sell enough to open up the Kop, would like to use my new seat before the Swansea match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuneatonfox Posted 10 July 2009 Share Posted 10 July 2009 But you cannot use your season ticket at the friendly's we already have to pay for the Carling Cup & Fa Cup. Charing Season ticket holders just isn't right, it should count in the season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted 12 July 2009 Share Posted 12 July 2009 one thing I don't understand is, the club are not expecting a big turn out by only opening one stand so why charge so much? just charge everyone a fiver for adults kids for a quid, nice summers day stick a bouncy castle up, ice cream vans, face painting etc make it a great family fun day at a reasonable price and try and get as many people down as possible to encourage them to come again during the season!! Surely a home friendly like this is the ideal opportunity it's almost as if they are happy with 5000 fans turning to avoid any hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we need down the walkers is yet more kids whose parents take them to games for a day out rather than any real passion for the club.

The last thing we need down the walkers is yet more kids whose parents take them to games for a day out rather than any real passion for the club. So how do you get kids interested? Don't get me wrong, kids at the football are annoying, but if you don't get them hooked early on, they grow up being fans of the Big Four. For me, friendlies are an ideal way of introducing noobs to the WS. It's not like there will be the usual atmosphere (there is nothing riding on the game, for example). This was where FNF was good, as young families could take their kids along, safe in the knowledge that there wouldn't be the usual 'adult' atmosphere. Since they got rid of it, it seems to me that the attempts to get young kids in is even more crucial with the first team games where the banter is an essential part of the game. Oh well.

Shrenchel Posted 13 July 2009 Share Posted 13 July 2009 In 75% of the Walkers the atmosphere is indistinguishable from the FNF matches I went to at Filbo. Infact, I think they probably edged it in terms of atmosphere. Kids at games don't bother me but when you start getting the children there who have only been brought along because they like dancing to chelsea dagger or because there was a bouncy castle, you're getting the type of parent and child who perpetuate the gash we have to put up with at the Walkers. I personally don't think getting more kids through the gates is a cause for great concern, we don't do too badly at all on that front. It's keeping them interested past their early teens. Look at the number of 20 year olds at the Walkers compared with the number of 10 year olds. Lads get bored of this happy clappy rubbish once their bollocks drop and a lot of them piss off. The club's answer is to try and attract more kids again, it's like some kind of fooked up never never land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, the club will attract kids but they need to think about 16-25 year olds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou Posted 13 July 2009 Share Posted 13 July 2009 Not all kids at football are annoying..... its only the ones whos parents dont bother to control them or bring them way too young to understand the game and then they get bored and start playing up. Weve got 4 sit behind us in L1 who come with their dads who then feck off to the bar for most of the game leaving the little brats to run riot. All 3 of mine have been coming to games for years and still love it as I stay with them and talk to them about whats going on which keeps them interested. I dont think my kids are annoying- Id be gutted if I thought theyd ever annoyed anyone in public to be honest. I do think we need to keep the future generation of fans coming throught the gates and Ive not had a problem so far keeping mine interested my Sons still going at 18 and my daughters at 15 and 12. I just cant afford ST's for all of them and have to alternate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The u-22 ticket pricing structure is supposed to be an indication that your custom is also desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New fans need to get hooked on the atmosphere and what football is actually about not the bouncy castle and face painting....Which itself is a good idea for the youngest, but we need a step up for when kids make there own way to the matches.

This is very true, but apart from myself and two other FCC members, it is not felt that this is not needed. The FCC is crying out for a disenfranchised, young City fan, preferably one who is no longer going to games because of this, because the impression I get is that some don't believe that it is happening.

They can't, you have to be invited, or you have to ask to go along. Contact Peter Jones.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrenchel Posted 13 July 2009 Share Posted 13 July 2009 Alright, I see. I currently live 120 miles away and dont have a car so its a bit long to try and train it so far on a weeknight for 5 minutes of west standers telling me I'm talking shit but once I've got a motor I'll put something on here to see if I can get a few people together to go along and talk about the situation.

I know a couple of other lads who'd probably be interested in joining too. If one of us gets on board it's a victory I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
