I think the price point has an impact. The Saints can command it as it’s Premiership sport.
Paying £60+ (on tickets alone) to sit and watch League One and League Two teams isn’t going to happen on a regular basis for most families. Take that down to the single person and if you are parking and having a coffee you’re up to a £30 trip out for a couple of hours.
Reasonably priced ST’s in a bigger stadium is our best bet.
Having a bigger ground and cheaper match day prices could also boost attendances and revenue. There’s a sweet spot somewhere. As it is I doubt the prices could be adjusted much to boost the coffers and I’m sure they do their sums.
I’d still try a few packages to test it out…5 for £100 as an example, or buy 5 get one free.
I’m sure they’ll be some larger grounds possibly in the Prem and Championship with prices not too far off ours.
These elusive people within the catchment will only come if you dangle the carrot and not because it’s the Cobblers.
I agree with a lot of this, £24 on the day is a much too higher price for League 2 football. But NTFC use zero marketing when it comes to the average fan. last week did they consider an offer like buy an Oldham ticket and get £10 off the Orient match ? No it never crossed their minds. When you do get people in to Sixfields do we do a "happy hour" in Carrs Bar to get them in early ? No we only have one TV working, beer at over a £1 a pint dearer than our competitors and , last Tuesday, the far end of the bar had the shutters down and a load of chairs stacked in front of it because someone couldn't be arsed to stack them in the corridor 5 yards away !!! Even Prem clubs like West Ham do "happy hours" to get the fans in their bars so they get the profit.
     No food in Carrs Bar, why not ? Put up 4 decent sized TV's (less than £400 each at Tesco) and get BT Sports, at least try to make it feel like a "sports bar" Put an awning up over the outside bit, properly cost around £1K but you could sell the advertising space on it for that. Will they try any of these, or other, idea's , no because the would cost a small amount of money and NTFC only want to spend the absolute minimum , no speculate to accumulate here !!!
