No Offers?

Agreed. The Barnet game is so Important and by far the most important home game we have left to play!

Win and we are practically over the line with staying up, draw/lose and it's nail-biting time.

We need to fill the stadium and make it a great atmosphere like we did vs Chesterfield!

The away crowd will be at least 1000 down on last weekend for a start.

Quoted from Elgringo87

There is an offer to discoveries football club for the Barnet game all adults £10 and kids go free providing they are playing or connected to discoveries fc

I think the club will find about 3,000 people are connected to Discoveries in one way or another  

Quoted from GyMariner

It was our first win in 20 games, if that doesn’t draw everyone back (along with it being one of our biggest games of the season) I don’t know what will!

Whoop-de-woo! Yes it's incredible that the crowds aren't flocking in!

Do you set the ticket pricing policy by any chance?

Nope, but when you’ve travelled home and away to sit through 20 games of misery (albeit not every fan has, but I’m sure they have mentally) and you enjoy an ending as much as last Saturday.....then yes it would be quite incredible if the crowds aren’t flocking in for Saturday!

You really must be joking. You might have enjoyed it by contrast with what you went through in the previous 4 months, but by your own admission you're a regular attender. We need to be coxing in people who hardly ever go. They'll be less impressed by a skin of the teeth win.

To be honest this game now becomes our most important game of the season so that should be enough incentive but it would have been nice as a thank you to our long-suffering fans this season.

The board has obviously decided a five thousand gate paying full price is financially better than a six thousand plus getting in for discount or freebies.

I suppose the books do not look that great this season somebody is going to have to make up the shortfall its damage limitation.

They should be trying to get as many people in as possible to get the atmosphere to help us fend off relegation. If we go down they will lose more than a few hundred free seats especially with the intended 10% increase on season tickets next season.

Quoted from ginnywings

Must say i'm a bit surprised and more than a little disappointed there are no offers on for this weekend to pack the park. I just don't get it and the crowd will be down significantly from the last game, without all those away fans and those that turned up for free/cheap for the last two games. If they think a disco set from your worst nightmare wedding reception is going to suffice, i think they are making a huge miscalculation.

I really don't get the thinking behind our board. So much but no more seems to be their modus operandi. Something that worked so well for the last 2 home games has just been abandoned, with arguably a bigger game than Chesterfield coming up.

Poor!

Absolutely spot on, the board seem incapable of capitalizing on any good will shown by fans or to be proactive to create a partisan crowd. Barnet will probably bring 500 or less, more likely less meaning the club easily put them in the Osmond corner and open behind the Osmond goal to Town fans with offers to fill it. Getting Mighty Mariner back is a tiny step in the right direction but he alone isn't going to increase the attendance no matter how fantastic he is in the role.

To those above this post who say if your a Town fan you'll be there regardless not everyone is going to let a win by the skin of our teeth and all that Fenty has done will make people buy into Town that easily there needs to be a speculate to accumulate which is why Fenty's waiting for football fortune has seen the club in the position it is in, the evidence is there for all to see.

The onus is on the club to act, and yet again it is found wanting. Fans were calling out to the club to open up the Osmond stand to Town fans and they haven't listened again, you reap what you sow.

If anything ever summed up why as a club we're floundering, the above sums it up perfectly.  

5000 fans paying full price is better than 6000 with discount.  Totally short-sighted approach.  

Back of a cigarette packet workings:

5000 @ avg. ticket price of £10 (Adult and Concessions) - 2500 Season Ticket Holders - £25,000 through the gate.
6000 @ discounted avg. ticket price of let's say £5 (£10 for Adults, kids go free with or on their own for £1) - 2500 Season Ticket Holders - £17,500.

A difference of £7,500.  This is a must win game.  Forget Chesterfield, this is now the most important game of the season.  As will the next one after that and so on until we're safe.  The club are putting £7,500 ahead of packing BP in a crucial game which we simply must win.  What's the cost of relegation? £1million minimum?

That's not even factoring in the fact that you might get 500 kids going for free and even if 2 of those then become life long fans you're making your money back in the long run.  Then they'll bring their mates, grow up and bring their kids.... God knows what amount those 2 people will contribute to the income stream of the club in the next 20/30 years and beyond.

This club needs to look beyond its own bloody nose when it makes these decisions.  I get annoyed as a season ticket holder when all these offers are peddled out because I feel it makes my ST less of a benefit (I still buy one like an idiot though!) but christ almighty this is a no-brainer.  Pack the Park, make it a great atmosphere and roar the side to safety.  The club failed to capitalise on the post-promotion feel good factor, watched on as a Lincoln shamed us by doing it with style 12 months later and then still fail to respond.  From a purely business perspective this is an opportunity.  An opportunity to tap into new fans and new income streams, yet instead we're happy to pocket an extra £7,500.  

Pathetic.
