Disappearing Punters?

[WadeyCobbler]

Not as many kids in the East Stand maybe due to it being half-term so the school / group offers maybe not taken. It will drop by 500 or so on Tuesday night.

WHAT PROBLEM?

The club is in the lowest position in the clubs history YET yesterday we had the highest number of home fans in League 2! Brilliant resilient support from Cobblers fans! Better than Walsall, Stevenage, Oldham, Colchester and Carlisle in League ONE.

Plus I'm confident it will improve in future weeks.

I suppose this message will be deleted after complaints from the Jonah's on the messageboard for being too positive!

Come on the Cobblers!

there was a drop of 200. That's a problem. Doesn't matter how many more there was than anywhere else, we need to hit certain attendances as that is what OUR budget is set against

Marquis you are a panic merchant!
Keep your bottle for a few weeks and our attendances will improve. The crowds have held up well and praise should be heaped on the fans for staying loyal!

you might not be bothered but if my takings were £4000 down one week I'd want to know how I can get it back the next week

Not a difficult one to answer!

Exactly, and it's nothing to do with the most cringing expression 'The Match Day Experience'. Every time someone writes that a football angel dies.

Oxford fans warned that under Wilder the attendances dropped significantly, looks like he's already having an impact here too!

You forgot the smiley....

Three home games back to back - people picking games? And half term will definitely have an effect too. Normally service resumed next week (after payday ...)

But a low Tuesday night crowd could have been expected, especially with the ManUre fans watching their CL defeat.. 
Saturday's attendance will be more of an indication...

[WadeyCobbler]

No panic on the expected drop in attendance. Tuesday night games always the lowest attended, especially with back to back Saturday home games. There will be in excess of 4000 home fans in on Saturday. I wouldn't be surprised to see a crowd pushing 5000 as Rovers will have a decent turnout.

[Cobblersmad]

Can't wait for the extra couple of thousand empty seats to look at next season.

Cardoza is not a sales man and its very obvious he has no wish to promote the NTFC brand to the population of Northants.

He can do what he likes as he's the 'boss' but I personally don't want to hear how much monies he's ploughed in as I could point out how much shiite marketing by him has cost us.

[CobblerForever]

The message needs to go out that we are playing football again and have some decent players being allowed to fulfil their potential - Hackett, Connell and Sinclair are all capable of turning it on. Diamond is a real Central Defender (Tony Adams like in his marshalling skills) and we defend like a unit, all of whose members look like they know what they are doing (individually and collectively). Duke is capable of some quality saves as well. Even the central midfield area looks more than competent now.

[John]

Sod it, let people stop at home, we all know what happens when we get a big crowd turn up, the team doesn't!

[ajp]

Put an offer on for Saturday I say! We need as many in as possible, BR is bigger than the two we've just played IMO!

[tcobb]

Tuesday crowds are never big, i would expect an attendance of 5,000 on Saturday without any need for offers

[Whitedogdo]

I saw a fifty quid for three games offer all over the Internet this week and thirty five for yoof or oap.
Why don't people go for that?

What? You have to work Tuesday nights?
Good god. .. there's a reason for the drop.

yeah because it's all about the seats aint it
