Leighton have a lot to do if they are going to go up. They’ve done brilliantly to attract a big following, I hope they can keep that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems hard to get younger guys into watching local football and they’ve done that well and if they can keep them coming they’ll be in a good position. I’d love to see the average age of a supporter at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 In the 'On The Road' Blog I believe the guy Kieran is AlwaysLeighton on here, he sorted the two guys out with complimentary tickets. It's strange he doesn't post anymore and may no longer be involved with the Club in an 'Official' capacity, I've noticed that some Club's don't like Committee members or Officials on the periphery being too 'full on' and trying to 'rule the roost' which he seemed to be doing.

agamemnon3 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 'the average age of a supporter at this level'... At the Step 5 club I was involved with for a few years, all of the committee were in their seventies, and the average age of the sixty to seventy paying supporters would have been around fifty-five. Since the return of 'normality', I have been mainly watching Herts County League stuff, with a few Step 5 and Step 6 games thrown in. At the dozen or so different clubs I have visited this season, I would suggest that at all of them the average paying supporter would be in his late fifties, early sixties. The single exception would have been a trip to Boreham Wood to see Arsenal U23s, where the crowd, two hundred or so, are mostly under-35s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that generation of guys have gone you wonder what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daily Dose Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The Leighton video was class. Made me smile. It was good to see young lads enjoying themselves and bringing an atmosphere to a game. Curbing the language would have been better as I know many adults bring younger children to these games. And many clubs do not tolerate it. from the games I’ve watch there’s been a real mixed bag of different generations watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
