The thing that politicians fail to understand is that wages are not keeping track with inflation. This has been the case for some years now. In addition some goods which are not measured as part of the inflation % have risen way above that rate, train tickets for example.
Oh I they understand all right, they just can't or don't want to do anything about it. |

Surprised and disappointed that only 100 more than the last Tuesday night home game when our nearest rivals come to town. I know it was a filthy night weather-wise but do that many people buy tickets on the night anyway?

getting smashed Five at home to Accrington Stanley does nothing to get the crowds flocking! |

Didn't get the crowds flocking to Accrington either! Just 947 in attendance for their game tonight. That's the first sub 1000 league crowd I can remember for a few years. |

I'm always surprised by how many less home fans are there on a Tuesday night. I understand the reasons but personally give me a night game at Sixfields all the time. Home on a Tuesday Away on a Saturday would do me  |

I suspect a fair percentage of the drop is due to fewer schools and families attending on week nights.

No one can really deny that Sixfields is a horrible place to watch football at the moment. Part of it is football in general, linked to the economy but you could write a book on that.
It is the kind of place that away teams must relish coming to, in terms of fancying their chances. Our crowd quickly turn if things are not going well, with very little atmosphere unless we get a dodgy ref. You can't attribute that solely to the missing East Stand as it's been like that for ages.
I think that is why you get people who may go once or twice and then don't return. You are left with the die hard ST holders, or those who are very much in love with the club and game, or who can afford it and have nothing better to do.
Marvo was right in terms of the product on the pitch being the most important factor but the Sixfields environment certainly must be putting a few off.
I thought yesterday was very disappointing though after a really good gesture to slash the prices.

With all due respect to Rochdale, they're not box office and were very likely to beat us.
The reduced offer was not promoted outside the club and was only picked up on by regulars.
Also they could've spiced it up a bit with tickets bought for Rochdale get some priority if we were to progress to round 3, could've helped.

What after 25 days Does a point become invalid after a certain length of time then or has the economic situation changed so drastically in that time? |

Blimey, is that the worst you can do? The reduced offer was not promoted outside the carbuncle but was only picked up on by regulars who deserve so much more, but what would you expect with such inept management always holding our club back from its manifest destiny. Also they could've spiced it up a bit with tickets bought for Rochdale get some priority in naming the new stand if we were to progress to the Championship in two rapid promotions, could've helped.There. |

IF people WANT to earn enough money to go and watch Northampton play they can do so here in Northampton. The question is not about lack of jobs or low pay it is about the lack of desire from some local people to earn themselves enough disposable money. It is also a case of some (like me) earning enough to watch all off the games but to do so this may include working Saturdays and evenings thus limiting the chance of supporting the team by coming along to games. It is not a Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm society anymore leaving Saturday to watch the football.
