To be honest,the FA Trophy is never well supported until the conference national sides come in.The fact we are playing Harrow is not going to pull many new punters in,especially as the game would not be publicised by the local press.I would expect the majority of our hardcore support to turn up as we haven't had a home game but don't expect much over 200,in fact,I would be surprised if we got anything over 180

If I can put some up I will

You may get a few old fans over who want to come back to see this super team,you may also get the odd new fan who has seen we are flying but experience tells me that unless it's the Fa cup,a big league tie or a conference national side,apart from the hardcore a tuesday night home replay in a qualifying round of the trophy to Harrow just won't pull a decent crowd in?I hope I am wrong but we struggled to get much more than 300 in the replay against chelmo a couple of seasons ago,a few days after coming from 4-1 down to draw 4-4

Jord,I am sure it will drag a few in but I just don't want you getting dejected if the crowd is low.

Tuesday night games are always low,parents don't want kids out late,it gets cold this time of the year,etc etc,sometimes we are up against champions league football or premier league,darling cup etc

What we really need is as many people as possible promoting our Saturday games,when we actually have one,it looks like we are still over a month away from our next one so we have time to come up with a poster with a bit of difference,maybe like Lewes did with their Kitchener poster a few years back.

Saying all that,if a few people can get posters out for tuesday night in the next 24 hours it can only help

Why not try offering a free pint or burger to supporters of other clubs, and put it on their websites/forums. When we tried something different a few weeks ago we got our highest gate of the season.

Jord,don't worry about it,just be careful in future,it may be an idea to get someone from the club to check it first next time.

 

Alan,why would we want to alienate our own fans by letting everyone else in for nothing or giving fans from other clubs free food,doesn't make any sense to me

Our gate was 50% up on our average, and as far as I know non of our fans felt alienated.
