Video Clips of Halifax Game

[Graham S]

Not wonderful. Post ruins the 1st. Missed the 2nd - didn't have the camera switched on after my return from a half time pint. Still fumbling around by the time of the 3rd, I hadn't zoomed in properly.

 

Usual apologies for the banal background comments.

 

Halifax ride their luck

 

1-0

 

3-0

 

4-0

 

Cannot believe this was the same Halifax that played us off the pitch last March. Also cannot believe how many really fickle supporters we have. Today's result should see them return next Saturday - but how many will decide it's still not worth it if we lose at Hereford in midweek?

Last season P8 W4 D2 L2 F19 A12 Pts 14

 

This season P8 W4 D1 L3 F13 A14 Pts 13

 

Only 1 point off last seasons start when many were thinking playoffs/promotion, yet average home gate is about 350 lower than last yr. says it all really.

[Drummer Scott]

Alot of people still say it's to do with the prices and that when neutrals just want to come out for a football match to watch then the price may well be putting them off.

Exeter and Cambridge are probably the two biggest away followings if it wasn't for their fans it would be 500 lower than last year. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

We need to see more fleet posters around the town aimed at familys.s

 

Do the club do a family ticket , as I have been asked by my cousin. Will be him , wife and three kids

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

Yes they do.

 

Off the top of my head I can't remember the exact saving but its worth at least a pint!

 

All you have to do is go to the season ticket turnstile and ask.

 

Think maybe the club could put better price lists up outside the main entrance, making it easy for people to see any concessions, that may help?

[DarrenGNFC]

There's a new band that come from London who have a video out on both MTV2 and Q called Fleet. We must milk it for all it is worth. Spamming message boards, if necessary. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I meant numbers of home fans - average home fan attendance is about 85 this year and was probably about 1200 last year

 

Other big games to come, though - Kidderminster, Hereford, Aldershot, and Daggers on Boxing Day (it must help having the Boxing Day Fixture at home and New Year game away rather than the other way round).

 

If we continue to get good results, the fans will come back and we could get some decent crowds for those types of game

People said after the Cambridge game that attendances would pick up as we got into September and the holiday season ended. I was inclined to agree with them, but more attendances like yesterday's will make me wonder about the effect of the £12/£6 prices again.

That said, a reduction of a sixth in the home attendance theoretically brings about the same income, of course.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Whoops !! Our average home attendance isnt quite that low ! I meant 850 of course!

[John Pearce]

Lower attendances seem to be causing concern in all divisions at the moment, including the Premiership.

 

I notice that the Daily Mail has introduced 'crowd watch' on most, if not all, of their match reviews comparing actual attendances with capacities.

 

Even on Radio 2, on the finance part of the Johnny Walker Show yesterday evening, football attendances got a mention. The general concensus appeared to be that cost of going to football matches was the overriding reason for lower attendances. They compared the lowest ticket cost of going to see Crawley Town (£11 apparantly) with Bayern Munich and Ajaz (£8). A hell of a difference compared with the standard of football that you are likely to see. It would seem that the award for the highest ticket prices in England goes to Spurs.

 

If the above is right then lower attendances at Stonebridge Road are almost certainly as a direct result of the cost.

 

Sad but it would appear to be true.

WHAT? What are the Chelsea Prices then?

[thatguy]

I heard that they were around the £40-45 pound mark. So what the hell is spurs charging then?
