i used to be sc_owl Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think we all know that the prices are not going to change drastically in the next few seasons. In fact, I would bet that as we (hopefully) progress on the pitch and (again, hopefully) up the table our prices will probably go up. If people do not have the means or finance to go then that's fine - I've been there and will not say a bad word against people in that position. But what about the people with the money, who are financially comfortable but choose not to go? What can be done to get those people to go? Is there something simple that could be done to entice them back? Or, is it simply down to many years of crap football and no hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we're missing here is that these days people tend to spend what they earn and then some hence the massive national debt. If you earn a bit more you buy a nicer car, buy a bigger house and go on more than one holiday a year. Or have kids and as in my case value my down time with the family. That said if I still lived in Walkley I'd be there every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young professionals with no commitments who would rather spend a hundred quid down meadowhall on a saturday afternoon yet who say they follow SWFC.

Gorny Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looks like it's mainly money then, or rather the crap football means people are not willing to fork out the money... Unfortunately I very much doubt the prices are likely to drop at any time soon. Football in this country is all about money and we wouldn't compete without it. Personally, I felt exactly the same at the Udders game (and at several others!) recently but I still renewed s/t. I knew if I didn't, I'd end up finding excuses not to go at all. I wanna be there when/if we turn the corner! You've gotta have faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young professionals with no commitments who would rather spend a hundred quid down meadowhall on a saturday afternoon yet who say they follow SWFC. i think people want more for their hard earned nowadays, £20/£30 quid has a different value now than a few years ago. That amount is so much easier spent when there's a very good chance you'll enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 03 owl Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I pay for the WP as i cannot get to all games, i even thought to my self if they charged £5 - £7 Live stream but then that will open up another kettle of fish i should imagine, or even if they did it on certain games just a thought :smile: . By the way are we all giving someone a vision for a Job Vacancy? Edited August 28, 2011 by 03 owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply can't afford to pay the inflated wages and pass the cost on to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they spend it on clothes,a game, a C.D. it will last a lot longer than 360 minutes (equivalent to 4 games = £100) and they might get more enjoyment out of it.

Guest owlinlincs Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Is there a group of lads in lincoln that go to most games? If i could get in with a group of lads from lincoln that make a day of it i would go to a lot more games. Going on my own or trying to talk a mate in to going is a pain in the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on my own or trying to talk a mate in to going is a pain in the arse TBH I always thought you went with a car load. If I ever get the urge to go again I might get in contact with you. Got to admit the cost of fuel is a consideration for not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
