Drop the prices, and they shall come...?

Hmmmm. Not so sure about that.
I have thanked the club for these offers - thru gritted teeth. Horse, stable-door, bolted etc.. but, its a start.
Unfortunately though, it rests on folk like you, folk like me, to promote the ****** out of it. That cant be right, and after spending a day off to do just that for the Watford game - with minimal success - I am in two-minds as to whether to bother this time.
I pay my money, year in year out in the summer months. I have no way of knowing what is to come, and I get no thanks for my unwavering support. Yet I pay for a ST without ever questioning it. I have had one since 1994. I have paid for my own since 1998. I havent always worked in that time, and I havent always been able to comfortably afford one. But find, earn the money I have done. Why? Because I have to be there, and a ST guarantees that. Its a lump-sum, but works out probably 100% cheaper than paying on the gate. Not that I just go to the hole int wall and remove £300. I have never done that. I paid for my 98/99 ticket in 3 payments. And since then, I have put a fiver/tenner away a week, in order to save up for the following seasons ticket. That way, I know that even if I lost my job (happened 4 times in the last 10 years) I could still renew my ticket. Again, why?? Because I have to. Yes, HAVE to. I am a Barnsley FC supporter, not a fan. I will be there no matter what. I may b*tch and moan (I buy that right) about certain things, and yes, sometimes I wonder why I bother. Usually, after the Boro, Soton style games where the football is gash and the atmosphere is wrist-slittingly morose. But come the next day, or the next game, I am as keen as ever to come and support my team. I am not religious, and I am not married with kids. So as sad as it may sound, my love is my club. BFC is my religion, Oakwell is my church. I have worshipped there for 23 out of 29 years. Its what I know, its what I do...
.
BUT, the last few years my will has been tested. Yes, I can go, and yes without a job I would find it harder but my saving has meant Id still be there. But IF, IF I couldnt get a ST, would I ballax fork out these obscene prices.
And my situation, my version of support, is not a universal one. What if my job meant I had to miss half the games? What if I had a 500 mile trip to attend? What if I had kids who begged me to take them too?
So I dont just say "ahh whatever, am alright Jack.."
Because as a supporter, I want as many like-minded folk alongside me, taking up a pew, but I understand we arent all in the same boat.
I feel for those who love my club as I do, but arent as able/fortunate to attend. Of course though, there are just as many 'fans' who will find excuse after excuse to just not bother..
I havent the answers, but neither do the club it seems.
So are these new offers amazing?? Depends what boat you are in I suppose.
Will I do my bit to promote them? Probably... but will we - in the long run - see an upturn in numbers???
We shall see..

 

Question is, who would be up for helping promote stuff. It needs a willing group of people who can do this. We shouldn't have to I know, but if we don't then know one else will. The club could help us out by providing big posters/leaflets etc

Would it be worth some people committing on here to get together and sorting something out?
