I was thinking of ways to get people back to the County Ground
How about revisiting the good old days and inviting back some ex players each weekend
for example a 60s week - with all the old 69 team reunited and introduced before hand on the pitch - maybe have an evening do as well
a 80s week - all the old promotion players who were denied and maybe even Lou and Ossie too
a 90s week - all the premiership heros like Jan aage - Killer - Keith Scott etc
It might encourage some old supporters back to see their old heros .. maybe we could do a penalty shoot out thing even involving the more recent ones??
What do u all think?? Good idea or bad? :roll:

good idea but probably a bit costly I expect.

well we could sell it to the ex players as helping out the club at a tough time?? and perhaps sell tickets in the winners for special after match events involving these players? this would cover costs?  |

a half time show of elvis doing dressage on shergar would probably put a few extra on the gate

I love this. Instead of Swindon fans being down about being bottom of the table by 6 points in the worst run of defeats ever faced by a club thats over 125 years old, we are looking for ways to help. The Trust talking about getting extra fans in - the fans talking about raising the atmosphere. Makes you proud. |

Not that costly actually, at least for the older generation. I've been told they love to come back to the CG as "guests" for the day, obviously any arranged function might require a little appearance fee, but for just turning up and being paraded they generally just like a free ticket! I love the "Legends" game concept, it's short notice, but I'll see if someone could get anything sorted for the City game pre-match or something? |

I'm not sure how keen to help some of the older players would be to help. Some haven't been treated that well by the club in the past.

How about doing the half time cross bar challenge, for supporters though? The winner gets four free tickets or something. That'd be more interesting than watching six years failing to stick to the agreed formation.

I'm not sure many of our team could do that, let alone our supporters!
I'd have a go though, quite fanncy my chances. Slight twist though, if you MISS you get 4 tickets... that'll improve the accuracy of many.

i like the crossbar challenge idea, i'd be well up for that!
tamworth do a similar thing at half time where you have to run from the halfway line & score a goal within 5 seconds. harder than it sounds. i think only 1 bloke scored. not sure what he won though.
at Franchise last season they did some kind of shooting thing aswell. 3 shots from 3 cones placed at different distances from goal.
stuff like this is all good for half-time entertainment. it was good when iffy & woany were taking pens against digby last season.

Exactly half time entertainment should be massively promoted.
I guess the club will use the pitch is private and supporters aren't allowed on it.
Why not have a supporters penalty shoot out against the reserve or third choice keeper? Something to get your interest.
