Title: Dagenham and Redbridge Post by: shady on Saturday, January 22, 2011, 20:29:31 Today they had an attendance of 4,446 (their previous home game yielded a crowd of 1,948).
They charged just 99p for adults today and 25p for kids. Also, there was no segregation to separate home and away fans. Interesting plan - will be interesting to see if other clubs follow and, I guess far more importantly for Dagenham, whether attendances will be higher going forward as a result.

Title: Re: Dagenham and Redbridge Post by: Spy on Saturday, January 22, 2011, 20:34:48 Segregation is awesome. It fosters an us and them attitude and encourages singing. I've been to rugby games and I think the lack of segregation is to blame for the lack of atmosphere.

Spot on. Wouldn't have worked if they did it for their home game against Charlton, for example.Title: Re: Dagenham and Redbridge Post by: shady on Sunday, January 23, 2011, 02:43:50 According to the football league review which I just watched there were missiles thrown at the Franchise fans after their last minute winner.
