Millwall Game

Next week would be a great opportunity for the club to reduce prices to £10 for adults and a fiver for concessions,there won't be many Millwall fans,lets get the ground rocking and attract some more fans otherwise its just over 9000 fans and no atmosphere apart from the usual run in with the stewards

 

They've lowered prices before and we've hardly seen an increase in attendances.

Some people will find any excuse not to go along and support their local team.

 

The season we got promoted to the premier league we were only getting crowds of 7 to 8000 before Xmas then they reduced some games to a fiver and we got gates of 17000 against Oldham,it won't do any harm to try,if we don't do something to attract some more younger fans we are going to be in trouble.my niece who is 9 goes to the games with us and she said she hopes we get relegated cos at least we may win some games in league 1 some of the young fans have only known us to struggle

 

I don't think people want to waste money on watching a lower championship side. Think they could buy something else with that. Or go and watch the MASSIVE down road

 

People are always calling for cheaper tickets, then when it happens they still don't bother turning up.

Usually the sort who judge player performances in comments on Facebook updates when they haven't been to a game all season.

 

We've tried it and sadly it didn't work.

 

These young fans though don't realise how bad the football is in league 1,they just think we might win a few more games

 

It's only for 1 game we can't underestimate the importance of a win next week and surely a few more thousand on the gate can only help the players and how can it cost us money cos there must be only a couple of hundred who pay cash at the turnstile cos most are season ticket holders

 

You've just fallen for the Gordon Shepherd line,just keep telling the fans the same tale and they will believe its true,I'm not saying it to make more money its just to get more fans in surely in the long run its a good thing

 

Price reductions aren't marketed well enough. Knock prices down to £15 for the rest of the season & word will eventually get round. The best advertising I've seen is free & nothing to do with the club. The matrix signs around town.

 

If they do it they've got to do it for a long time at something like a tenner but then that will annoy some season ticket holders.

Personally, I wouldn't be bothered if they made the remaining games a quid in, if it got more people behind the team then that's fine by me.

 

Spot on Ponty ender it's wortha try

 

I'm a season ticket holder I wouldn't mind, look at the policies Bradford and Huddersfield tried when they got relegated,season tickets for £100,that worked and look at the gates they get now ,a lot more than us,

 

market it as surViVal. As in the roman numeral for 5. Make it a fiver for adults. It can't hurt. Can't see that many 23 quiders paying on the day!

Let kids in for a quid!

Or free in with a flare (joke warning for the people who either have no sense of adventure and/or just love been offended and/or who have BBQ's int summer where the smoke goes over neighbours fence, and/or drive a car, and/or smoke (legally or otherwise) and/or go to bonfires, and/or once tried to burn the school science block down..... **** that last one was just me!)

 

The problem is that if we do get a significant gate increase at a cheaper rate, the policing/stewarding costs will increase.

 

Reducing ticket prices doesn't increase attendances. We did it for the Derby game and our home attendance rose by about a thousand.

When we used to have the categorisation of matches, there was once a period of 3 home games in a week. One cat A, one cat B and one cat C, and the attendances were no more than about 500 higher for the cat C game than the Cat A game.

The performance on the pitch and the opposition are the only drawing factors in my opinion.

 

All well and good saying cheaper tickets brought in more fans back in 96/97 season, but we were pushing for promotion, playing decent football, and the town wasn't skint/in a recession.

Reducing ticket prices won't fill the stadium, this is a proven fact.
