Anyone think now would be a good time to maybe start getting some cheap tickets or kids go free schemes, the huddersfield game would be ideal as we are sure to get alot of stragglers for the leeds game.

The atmosphere the last few games was awful and whether people agree or not we have a chance of the play offs would be nice to get a few more numbers in .

Even open the bank again

The atmosphere was great when they re-opened the bank. Obviously that was at a later stage in the season, but the cheaper tickets got people in.

Nothing since has come close atmosphere wise

Yeah that's what I was thinking Macca. It was late on in the season and we were all in a good mood and the sun was shining. All those elements could easily be reversed and it could turn out to be a shit idea.

Perhaps it would be good to open up the bank and charge home fan's £10, the only problem with that I suppose is that people that usually sit elsewhere and pay on day will go in there so attendances will not rise, so how about ticket for the bank at £10 if you purchase a normal priced ticket for another game at the same time, or bring a freind who hasn't been before and you get your ticket cheaper.

We can save cost's on stewarding the bank though by putting all the Orange security stewards in there as they do fuck all anyway - other than want to kick people out.

ST holders need to be looked after though so they don't feel left out.

i think a kid for a quid wouldn't go a miss.maybe a game on the bank for a tenner?
or even give a load of tickets to schools in the area for the bank.at least the club shop and burger sales etc would surely make it worth it?

at least the new board have said they will be looking at the ticket prices and structure for next season.

Kids only pay £4 now I believe.

"The Board will be looking at ticket prices" means they could go up as well as down.

Can't see prices going down - there aren't many teams charging less than us at the moment

I still maintain, that cost for kids isn't really the issue.....its already quite cheap.

    Those that are interested will tend to go and those that aren't wont.

Still here... we need to speak to the club. We were told ticker tape, papers etc could be dangerous so we need to speak to the club about ideas... I think another "fun" day would be good, ge tthe kids in for a promotion and tie something L&P in for that...

Getting chucked out saving your bacon :wink:

Open the Bank full time and make it the cheapest place in the ground.  Give away some Balti pies in Winter in that stand and I'll be happy.  I enjoyed the Mansfield game being back infront of the clock and I think that for a rare game it was well promoted.  OK, so the promotion prospect brought some fans along for the day, but the Bank was all but filled.  We'll be getting more sun now on matchdays so a well co-ordinated promotion could work I think.  Not kids on the Bank though, poor sods get cold and it wastes the chance for me to be behind the goal but be able to see the game.

Talking of incentives the one on the OS for the youths to see them play Charlton in the FA Cup isn't bad.

£20 gets you return transport, match ticket and stadium tour.
