Then it's off back to the Volvo 5 minutes before the end moaning that the team hasn't turned up again. Time to wake up and smell the Horlicks. Badly parked Volvo at that.

People don’t turn up as much as they can’t be bothered as they can’t afford it. Of course football is too expensive and I hate the prices more than anyone and don’t expect people to go to every match but if the 42k that turn up for Wembley can afford that, maybe a few less glamorous games might not be beyond them. If it’s your club, then support it - no?? Maybe I expect too much. Exactly which bit of that post makes it sound like season ticket holders are..... "Millionaires"? Season ticket holders that can afford the initial outlay...Like myself...are sorted...for the season. The "Thousands" who travel to Wembley for finals..are endemic with every football club in the country...Gillingham took 40 odd thousand...Its day tripping and it is a ridiculous way to guage a "Fanbase" on. People who "Turn up when they want to " are the future of football...cos the rest of us..Me , you and 24'000 others are in thrall to a game that simply rips the P*ss....We can't help ourselves...

I agree they fleece us but it’s a vicious circle The loyal lot pay it, the “less bothereds” then see individual matches are too much to make the effort You can’t reduce ticket prices as it makes season tickets pointless!! The only way forward is to reduce the initial season ticket prices (which clubs won’t do!) Clubs in this county are a disgrace ours very near the top of that list I would love nothing more than all tickets to be good value - it’s why I have full admiration for the 20 odd thousand of us that support the club every other week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are like two different teams. Is it the pressure of playing at Hillsbro? Is it a mental block when we are at home? It's so frustrating that we can perform so well on our travels, yet be so poor at home. Fear of losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders should be a bit more philanthropic.... the reason I wouldn’t do this is due to the fact the majority of seasons end with with a whimper so enough people will think, I’m not getting a season ticket because I’ll get 7 games at the end of the season for next to nothing anyway! I’ll gamble and just pick and choose up til then. Look after the core customer first, make season ticket holders get that bit extra for a fair bit less. Give it a real push, get 25k sold, do offers on pre match drinks, merchandise, outside business ventures etc (like many clubs already do) This in turn should help the atmosphere, maybe the team do better because of it, the less bothered will think they are missing out, they’ll turn up The one decent thing DC has tried to do is make it a season ticket culture at the club, he’s just been way way way off the mark with how he’s gone about it (like most things he’s tried) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 At the end of the day, I dont believe a lack of noise from the crowd is the main reason. Worth remembering that up until this recent slump, we had one of the best home records in 2019. The fact is that the last three home displays have been woeful and it had nothing to do with the crowd. Yes, I think Hillsborough is quite a demanding stadium to play in at times. There can be a lack of patience and, even worse, a sense of apathy around the place. But, despite two decades of largely dross, we still get gates of over 20,000. Not all those people are turning up to be miserable. As we've seen, if we know this team is going places and putting in a shift, then the atmosphere can be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All jokes aside Monk sets up at home as he does for away games. Fans blame the players or the atmosphere but its him thats not changing things for home games.

You lower the season ticket prices on The Kop...and sell them at the same price on the lower Lepp. For those who prefer the north, south etc cos of the view...thats your choice.... for those who don't mind the flatulence , swearing and the odd hand massage from itinerant concubines...its gravy... The price of these Kop and Lepp season tickets should simply be slightly less than POTG...I would still get a season ticket if the price was the same....cos I sit next to a non flatulent itinerant concubine............................ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
