sacré bleu Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Would some kind of loyalty card work for pay on the gate customers? Say for every 200 pounds spent on admission you were credited 25 pounds onto a personalised loyalty card. For someone attending every home game in a season this would equate to around 100 pounds. This credit though must then be spent in the club shop or in the bar. It could give someone a couple of free pints before each game or if they spend it in the shop on club merchandise it may help increase the awareness of the club around the city.

OWLERTON GHOST Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think that's a great idea ... My £25 voucher will be lovingly spent on a T- Shirt with Sacrè Bleu's trumper on it ....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anus Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My youngest and middle daughters have lost interest in watching the empty stadium games...they still watch some through. But I think the combination of the lack of atmosphere and us being totally dog wee have combined. They used to watch other matches on sky, championship and prem, and stuff like match of the day etc, and that has totally dropped off. But both can't wait till we can get back to games both home and away, the latter probably as we make a night or weekend of those we can. They ain't lost to the sport, its just been a bit rubbish for a while. As my 12 year old said to me a couple of weeks ago 'it's in my blood'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like what your actually asking here is how we keep people interested when we are so sheight at present. I'm sure there are clubs with people who can't wait to see them live again. Us being shitee and lockdown is two separate things happening concurrently. Edited March 4, 2021 by Woodyowl450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls66 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Chairman who treats the fans with utter contempt, crap football and extortionate pricing to watch said crap football. Any wonder people aren't interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 People aren't going to not come back because we are in league one. In fact, we are more likely to have fans come back BECAUSE we are in league one. Fans come to see us winning and scoring. More chance of that in L1 than the Championship next season. I know of no fans that go to games based on which division we are in. It's purely based on entertainment, which means goals and attacks. A 10 year old doesn't care what division we are in, but he or she will be bored and not want to go again if they witness boring, goalless losses. Seriously, if we are in around the promotion/ play off places in L1 next year, attendance won't be a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My kids don’t watch us when we’re on TV, whereas it used to be a big deal for me and my brothers when we were on at comparable ages. Always imagined my lad especially would sit with me and watch us, either at the ground or on TV. Can’t get him off the sodding computer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before lockdown i went to MK dons a fair bit - nearby, my kids get in free so only costs 20 quid for 3 of us to go. The quality of football in league 1 is absolutely diabolical. some of the games down there make our 0-0 v Stoke at home this season look like Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle under Keegan.

striker Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The Chansiri shaped problem hasn't gone away, but it's football..... winning games and accessible pricing will encourage fans to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 It's only a year. One year doesn't equal a generation! People are going to go back to doing things they did before when they can. Probably with more enthusiasm because they realise what they've missed. There's always a drop off of support when any club is relegated. This won't be any different IMHO.

Daizan10 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think we might need a sample from a club that hasn't gone from god awful to worse in lockdown, to be sure lockdown is the reason for the losing of interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Of all the big clubs in the football league has anyone faired worse than Wednesday in the last 20 years , we've been relegated to league one twice ( 3 if we go down this season) and only finished in the top 6 twice in the championship. This has to be the club's worst run in a 20 year period in our history , closest 1970 - 1990 but we spent 6 seasons in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
