Personally, i didn't renew my season ticket this season, mainly cos it's been s***e for years, and I thought they were taking liberties, wanting £50 more, before we knew if we'd still be in the football league. I went to the Mansfield game, but at £20 haven't bothered since, i'd be very surprised if I attend more than 5or 6 home games at that price. Incidently, I had been a season ticket holder since 99/2000.

I happily pay £22 on the day as its the only way to financially support the club as all foods and beverages have been out sourced.
I can definitely say I've been well entertained  from the 3 games so far.

As a club we seriously need to encourage young families to attend at a price which they can afford.
1000 family tickets have to be made available every game at £20 which admits 1 adult and 2 children, these should be targeted at those who wouldn't normally attend.

They already have a very successful group ticket scheme for kids and schools. They don't need to change anything there as the deals are very good.

Any numbers? As I only ever see a dozen or so kids from local clubs, which is good but not the same thing, Families will want to return and become future supporters.
Its all about the long term, what you invest in now will pay off in the long term.

Now the redevelopment has started we should think more about the clubs future and less on the development that has stagnated the club for many years.

Our floating home support has unsurprisingly taken a hit after 3 relegation battles in the past four seasons (and two years of Hoofroyd).

It will take time to build up again, but as others have said, that 1-0 win was a lot more entertaining than most of what AB served up and in Ivan Toney we have a genuinely exciting young talent.

When I went with my daughters school there were about 50 kids from that one school, think there was about 5 other schools and then numerous local teams etc as well.

why are you telling fibs Grin

Only when 50/50 Phil and another chap were at the club did anyone remotely promote the club properly, unless you are talking about 2 years ago?

1000 family seats..... Is that logistically possible with our capacity?

Sure they used to give away quite a lot? East Stand was pretty full most weeks.

This was three times last season.

I don't need to tell fibs or make up stuff, just saying.

Gosh, you must have a keen eye to differentiate between 3800 and 4000.

So are they disappearing or not??

Probably not. Like a pre season run out music thread, this is rolled out this time every year as we find attendaces are a bit lower due to holidays etc

No.

According to Deepcut's own figures, the "home" support for the first three games of this season is 12,069 which is 712 more than last seasons three opening league fixtures.

So a  good old fashioned successful
 relegation battle is better than an inglorious Wembley defeat.

The actual figures may disappoint some of the doom mongers on here but facts are facts.

Well quite, yes. West Upper (South) had swathes of empty seats and North Stand looked less full than against Mansfield...so guess comparing 3,800 home (Sat) with around 4,200 for Mansfield.
