    All 9,400 of them. The rest were probably in the boozer or at Meadowhell spending more than £24.

    Clear message to the club - don't ****ing bother.

    It's difficult to argue with that conclusion,all we can hope is that the quality of football we're playing will produce enough good results to bring the fans back.....definitely a performance that should have been seen by more

    An extra 1,028 reds fans there compared to the Hull game plus Donny fetched near on 500 more than last season and they were talking of a boycott prior to the price reduction.

    There was around 150 season ticket holders that didn`t attend that game, I presume a lot of these are child tickets, some of these obtained for the simple reason as to gain more arse room for their parents. Time the club charged £25 for the kids season tickets as people are getting them and then not using them yet the club have the cost of producing the season ticket book.

    All in all a good day all round for BFC.

    How short sighted can you get!?.............ffs.............. the kids under 7 or 8 should get in for Nowt! why you ask?

    because let me tell you if you do not get the kids interested then in ten years or so this club will be DEAD.....boy am i glad Mrs HT is not running bfc.

    As for being a good day all around...i agree apart from your suicidal ticket proposals.

    hope this helps but i doubt it will as you seem beyond help.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Getting near Christmas, in a recession, facing ongoing increasing prices for fuel and other necessities, in a town with high unemployment where the biggest employers by far are the public sector who are facing uncertain times with service cuts and increases in pension contributions...

    Still, you're a better fan than everyone else. We get it.

    People have been banging about reducing ticket prices and this will bring the "fans" back. I have completely disagreed with this everytime and everytime I've been proved right.

    In a nutshell.

    Which adds nothing to club income.

    So when are you going to start helping the club out ?

    The commercial dept can help you out with sponsorship deals etc.

    Not a true fan really are you ?

    No, the prices went down and the crowd went up.

    I've already complained to the club that sponsorship is far too expensive. I'm going to go on at em until they reduce the cost then not sponsor anyone.

    maybe not, its a debatable subject.
    but ones things for sure if they keep bumping up the prices it sure as hell will drive some away.

    If we get more than 13,000 for any game other than Leeds or West Ham then I will sponsor Kern Miller.
