Wonder if any clubs (Including our own) take a leaf out of Bradfords book?
Average gates of 14000(?) for 4th division football.

I think it would risk financial suicide to follow suite. Never under estimate the apathy and indifference of the average Swindoner.

As far as apathy goes most of them can take it or leave it, but I don't believe they can be bothered to be indifferent as well.

I'll probably leave myself skint for a month by buying one when they come out. Not really sure yet though, been going on my own this season due to mates buggering off to uni / australia and it's not as fun as it used to be.

Season ticket prices are bound to go up IMO as they were frozen last season however they may have more options IE. Wings in the main stands etc.... like the trust suggested before (awaits smart ass comment about wings on the stands) :roll:

you could give out free season tickets in Swindon and we still wouldnt get a 14000 average. Problem is most people in Swindon arent origianlly from Swindon so dont give a fuck about the team. Much rather support Man yoo or Chelski :evil:

As I've said before, I don't mind differential pricing in the stands, but I'd expect to see it policed so that people didn't buy cheaper tickets then move over to premium areas.

Average gates of 14000(?) for 4th division football. Funnily enough i was thinking the same thing yesterday and was going to post it but you beat me too it. Think it would be a great idea. Don't think Fitton and Co will want to lose out on potential money though. |

Wings in the main stands etc.... like the trust suggested before (awaits smart ass comment about wings on the stands) :roll: TBH I think season ticket prices will either be frozen again or go down. The new owners are well aware of the damage done in the last few years regarding prices overall, so their first job will be to encourage fans back and to make us a more fan friendly club. I think that will apply to season ticket holders as well as match day prices |

Fitton wants the business to be run properly. That means prices wont be going down.
Its been shown in the past with offers etc that STFC tickets are price in-elastic (is that a word?) Cheaper tickets get an extra few hundred through the gate, but mean lower income overall.
The only way to improve attendances is to get a winning team. In Swindon its that simple I'm afraid.
