Bilo Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 I think the board need to look at what Derby have achieved. It's too easy to put it down to poor performances and/or a mediocre team, because Derby fans have had to put up with years of the same yet still get 28,000 plus most weeks. That means cheaper matchday admission, cheaper season tickets, listening to the fans and acting on what they hear and focusing on making the ground as inclusive as possible; rather than do what is being done at the KP now and target more or less exclusively families with plentiful disposable income. The problem I see is that the "matchday experience" is desirable to families with young children but not necessarily fans between 18-30 who traditionally make up a significant part of football crowds. There's plenty of work to be done and it needs doing before a mediocre season or two brings us down to Coventry levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is only on for 20-30 seconds I don't count it as suffocating it. I can hold my breath for longer than that so he should be able to take it.

That wasn't the question. Mine was if you're in Essex with something "more important" to Dothan why are you complaining about the attendance. I would have gone but the car doesn't have a starter motor in it. Wow 4 strokes and i have finished! Improving on your record then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 I confess, I have a ST and haven't missed a home game for about 25+ years as a ST holder except when ill which has been about 5 times and for many tears before that on pay on the gate. I didn't go partly due to the changed time but also I know I can use my ticket a couple of times to get my son a game as he has now been totally priced out of going after having been a regular for 25 years. I make no apologies for that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 grow up son... this invloved a tragic death... so leave it... Sorry to hear about that. Don't call me 'son'. I can assure you that most people who had a season ticket who didn't go couldn't be arsed after what they saw on Tuesday. But that's no excuse. You go to those games and it makes the highs ever so sweeter when they do come. I can't stand fair weather fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igorman Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 @ Bilo - the days of us getting them sort of attendancies on a regular basis are long gone (20k today) The effort our owners have put in has slowly dropped off year-on-year to where we're at now where they do very little im praying this is a sign they're ****ing-off soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
