Home Support

The home support this Season has been pretty good numbers wise so far but we should be pulling in a thousand more and packing out the home stands every game.We need to keep dragging friends and family to BP folks it`s going to be key to further success so ROUND EM UP!!!!

This is were the club miss a trick . IMO you have to strike while it's hot : Offers for odd games like the Hartlepool one , big promotions /publicity (playing on the old lads coming back)  online and via the telegraph etc . I'm not saying do it every week , as we know it would 'de-value' the product for season ticket holders . Not a harsh criticism , just an observation on were we could improve things a tiny bit . As I've stated before -  things are going well , with most aspects at present but no time for complacency . UTM . Fox

back to the old " pick 3 games in advance for a 10% discount " chestnut....

Hover around the top 6 and they will come. Especially when we start playing the "bigger" clubs in the division. Happy days.

Its too late...all this was missed pre season....we are back to hardcore fans supporting the club week in week out...it needs momentum on the pitch now to build a buzz around the Town and pull in the extra's.....if the odd one off promo coincides with a performance like Crewe then you gain nothing.....two dullish 1-0 wins by means of a penalty gains little.....
Exciting wins or slapping the opposition by a handful is what we need at home now to draw additional numbers.

I agree Moosey to a point but obviously we can't go back now . I  believe there's potential here to get 6-7k regularly , if things are done 'full throttle ' so to speak . Not just resting on our laurels , happy to get by on the regular 4500 . Is there any 'fans for the future ' schemes for example ? We see a lot of clubs doing this nowadays.

On about the buzz last night`s game not the best you will see late Town winner everyone leaving that ground barring the 30 odd sheep was buzzing.Two games in a week is a lot of money for fans in this area a bit of foresight from the Club why not sell the 1200 Osmond seats as a two for £30 offer and in recompense all STH a free pie or pt?

Something needs doing and quick I wont knock the Trust they have been brilliant for GTFC but this dialogue so I was lead to believe started after Wembley and we still haven't got anything sorted.Your die hards will always come but the core support could quite easily be shifted from 3-4k to nearer 6k with a bit of leg work.I for one want to see BP bat out it`s days as full as possible that way everyone benefits and the Club need to get on board because a 6k average gate will be another nail in the NIMBY`S coffin regarding a new ground and the argument it isn`t required.UTM

Good points like I said it's not a personal slate on anyone . I think people who do so much good for the club get irked when things are put across as they are not doing enough . I admittedly don't put as much time into the club as they do and think their efforts are admirable . But there has to be forward thinking ideas which capture people's imagination .

Unfortunately....the operation 3K wet weekend and other potentially enterprising ideas were or are not just followed through....i suppose its because "a small vocal minority " are raising them.  

Up the prices, they will come.... we are in the League now....was what we essentially got.

Bores the @rse off me how un-enterprising the club can be at times.
