So what would you prefer they sing?
The question is....did anyone really buy a flute?

Agree...Most of West stand do nothing about getting an atmosphere going..but then again the POSH and IRA songs are moronic... North Stand is also embarrassing..make it a tenner to get in, and don't start me on the east stand, even though the atmosphere is better then most I think this was a bit silly?

Quite a few green seats on show at Franklin's Gardens Saturday, I saw on TV! Having said that, while we were embroiled in an exciting 0-0 against er, Crawley... they scored 67!

Over 12,000 at Notts and Carlisle did a 10kforMK campaign which did succeed in attracting over 10k at Brunton Park, fair play to both clubs. A lower table clash against Crawley doesn't pull in the punters. Even in our title winning season I'm sure we only got just over 5,000 against them just after we'd won the title. These poorly supported ex non-league clubs are no attraction.

I think it's as much to do with the clubs owners inability to deliver on promises made that has alienated the support base and town in general from the football club. If it wasn't for the social side of things like having few beers before and after, I doubt I would even bother paying £24 to watch Thomas's football club.

The fact is that we aren't touching the sides in terms of the population of the town or the county coming to games. There is a shell of a club there, a base to grow definitely but doing things the same way we have been doing for god knows how long probably has had its time.

Common knowledge that football crowds drop when teams are struggling and going downhill,
Get in the play offs and a few will come back.
Get into league 1 and finish in the top 8 aiming for promo to the champo and they will be back in their numbers for sure.
I know several Cobblers fans who have been going to Kettering Town matches this season instead and they openly admit that it is because they are in a promotion hunt and they enjoy the positivity on and off the pitch rather than the negativity that hovers over us.

Recent away turnouts against Lincoln , Stevenage and Crewe suggest otherwise. Very good atmosphere and attendance today?

Your input to this thread is always appreciated ; you said that ref Tuesday match that the gate was one of the lowest ever. It might have be useful to mention that on the night the gate was the second highest on the night behind Lincoln. Not music to KT's ears tho'. Quite proud we came second!

Yeah, certainly not a problem specific to us. I think its the European football on the tv that causes the issues. When faced with the choice between standing outside on a cold windy night and watching league 2 quality football vs the comfort of the sofa and a better standard of football, many choose the latter, unfortunately. Maybe the FL needs to consider this when doing the fixtures somehow? I guess its a lot harder for them since UEFA staggered the fixtures for the european games. All of our Tuesday games this season have also been long trips for away away fans which doesn't help overall attendances either. Personally i prefer the night games.

The Football League deliberately schedule longer trips for midweek night games to maximise Saturday attendances. Not sure if it works so well though. I much prefer Saturday afternoon games. Midweek fixtures are a rush for some to get to due to work commitments. The only night game I really look forward to is Good Friday.

This season the Good Friday game kicks off at 3pm.

Mixed feelings about the Good Friday kick-off of 3pm. Will still feel like a Saturday to me as off work. Would have liked a night game though. Had some great Good Friday night games in the past.
