Club Review

[Yellow Bungle]

This is what we need!! Action. Well done, looks good.

Tops fella. I am in Basildon too tomorrow and will take a few around the shops there for display.

 

I think Basildon is a hugely untapped area of support for Canvey - only a 20 odd minute drive away from the ground and buses that come straight past the ground. Must be loads of potential fans there I would have thought.

[South Mouth]

Another thing that could bring a few more through the gate is having a concession for students. There are quite a few about and having to pay full price just doesn't interest them. But slashing the price to say £7 down from £11 would make them think about coming over. So far, i have seen a lot of clubs have concessions for students and this gets more to come and watch.

[Matt H]

It's was 8.50 for Students this season, but considering that's the same as an OAP - Plus an extra 2 pound if they need a seat, that's 10.50 for the old guys! That's probably where we're going wrong. No-one wants to bring their old man along and have to spend over a tenner for him to perch in the stand.

[blooming barmy bongo]

one thing to try is to use the stadium for soccer tournanments at all ages, and have some of the canvey players/coaches offering advice on team tactics, ball controll etc.. and we could then charge the public £1 or so to get in and then they will have the bar and burger vans for more added income.

Just look at at last nights Evening Echo, there is a picture of Steve Tilson with a group of Children from St Katherines School which is based on Canvey giving away southend goodies!!

 

Why don't we go out to the schools giving them Shirts / Tickets or even running training sessions with some of the 1st team players, thats get Guliver along to entertain the kids

[Ribbit]

I think kids would run if they saw Jeff King coming with goodies!

Last Monday our boy went on a school trip (Northwick) to Visit

Southend library, museum and finished up with lunch in a corperate box

at Roots Hall!

 

He was told by the teacher to remove his Canvey hat we gave him to wear that day!

 

We could offer picnic on the pitch? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

 

I think its our ground that holds back our support.

Its good enough for me and the people on here.

 

People who are not die hards want good Value for money with pleasent surroundings.

The price of the Football, OK one of the cheapest in the league,

Park lane is not the nicest ground Ive been to.

Club house is too small, it is full when we have a crowd of 400.

Qs for burgers and teas are to slow wouldnt be so bad if you see the pitch.

They always run out too. Especially Chips

The New stand without a roof is Cold and lacks atmoshere.

 

Basicly there is not enough room there.

 

So Geoff, buy Waterside for a £1 and build a new Ground Next to that.

[Ribbit]

Park Lane is like the Craven Cottage/Fratton Park of the Conference...

[Guest]

Viking I hope he told his teacher to f%^k OFF! Thats gotta be racist or something.

[YELLOW]

I would have told the teacher the same thing!!!

[Guest]

I gotta say sarfend dragging kids of Canvey is taking the piss!!!

 

Thats gotta be rubbin our noses in it.

[Paddy.c]

the situation at southend doesent help us either with them having a new ground

we were going to doa atraining course with the first team the other year but it was cancelled as a lack of ATTENDANCE

[South Mouth]

MATT CIFC,

 

I haven't been to the Lane in a while coz of being at uni but i spoke to Ken the other day and he told me that there were no concessions.

 

Anyway, even if there are, £8.50 is still a bit steep for students. It should be about £6-7.

[Ribbit]

£5

[Guest]

There are student concesions my son got a discount the other day, I think it was a £5

[Matt H]

Last game I went to was Grays in January, where I was charged 8.50. I've been charged 8.50 all season.

potential chavs too

[Matt H]

I don't mind Chavs coming to Park Lane - We've got Stewards who can handle them. It's if they'll pay to get in and sing with the Yellow Army that I'm more interested in.
