Chesterfield Tickets

Quoted from Perkins

Fersitiousness ? FFS with six fingers you should at least be able to type properly.

Post to the Week.

Quoted from towncryer

Season ticket holder for many years and a fan since the late 60's. Look im not deluded, I know that football runs I cycles and at the moment it's our time. How long it will last who knows. I've only just registered on this site but I have read it for a few seasons now and I can tell you how stupid some people sounded on here with their delusional rose tinted specs on and don't get me wrong we have them on our site aswell. You had a few seasons of challenging at the top of the National League without getting out which kept the interest and crowds up at Blundell Park until you actually did get out. You had an average season last season but you need to be challenging up around and in the playoffs this season to keep that interest there or your going to have your first test for a few seasons on how loyal your support is.

That is true. But we love a challenge. We're stroppy illegitimates and are just as likely to turn out in even bigger numbers. Meaningless game at Barnet in April? The response: 1200 there - let's have a party.

Loyal? Compare your average away following versus ours when we where  both non league then you'll get a true picture of loyalty you one season bandwagoner, conspicuous by your absence n previous years gone by,

I think I might know towncryer... just a hunch... possibly from Skegness.... if its who i think it is he's on here to make friends cos he hasn't got many on other sites.... could be wrong... 🤔

Hope for once they fill the Osmond, in monies spent as away support their a few thousand pounds to catch us up.

HERTS GTFC I'm not comparing both our support and I agree our support was poor after we got relegated but that's because we were crap we had some terrible managers the football was crap and that's why our crowds went down compared to the Keith Alexander days. What I am merely pointing out is that you have had a number of seasons challenging for playoffs ect in the National League which kept your support reasonably high, you get out that league into the football league and you would expect the crowd to stay with you in your first season back, you were doing ok for a while but then tailed off resulting in Bignot going and now you have RS back who will be under pressure to have you at least in the playoffs to maintain the level of support you have. Slip down the league a bit into mid table and for the first time in a few seasons your support, not from diehards but from take it or leave it brigade will be tested.

Any ideas how many we've sold now.

I see your point but our home gates where reasonably stable all the way through non league and the away following for that level was always good too, I don't think Russ will be under pressure to get us in the play off's to be honest as unlike yourselves, Mansfield and a few others we don't have cash to throw around and any success will need to be built for another season at least.

The take it or leave it brigade have already "left it" to a degree after the madness that was that tw@t Bignot and the sh1t football he served up, like you lot last season if we fiddle with prices have a decent start and a cup run against a couple of decent sides attendances will rise just like any other club.

So are saying is that if you turn out to under achieve next season people will still come to see you because they have bought a season ticket?

RS has already publicly stated through the media that Play Offs are the target for this season...so he is under pressure......the inbetween the lines comments of JF when RS was appointed was that play off/ promotion in the next season (not long term ala Bignot's masterplan) was the expectation.

RS is under pressure without a doubt.

I don't think our attendances will drop this season.Including our junior section we have around 6000 season ticket holders. However if we did have a poor season it would be interesting to see how many renewals we would have for the following season. I think it's only natural the crowds would drop off, that's just how football is. If your successful everyone will jump aboard and when it all starts going wrong the same people will be making every excuse under the sun why the can't go.
