Any sort of extra incentive for those who live further away is not a realistic idea imo. How would they prove where they lived? Bank statement\utility bill and photo ID I guess... But then they'd have to bring the photo ID to all games too??

My picture is on my driving licence along with all my other details. Not exactly a ball and chain to take to a game. Not bothered about long distance benefits, but get the jist of what you're saying. Sort of.

Er no, I didn't go, the thought of attending the CG so soon after Tuesday night was too much to stomach!  However, I did email Nick Watkins my apologies and offer a couple of small ideas to be considered, didn't even get an acknowledgement! Secret

If the standard of football remains the same for the rest of the season the season ticket sales will be low no matter what incentives are offered.

Talking of crowds, I noticed that we had about 6k on Tuesday (I am guessing Hartlepool had very few fans) and are utter dogshit and Peterborough, who play a very exciting attacking style of football and are chasing promotion only had 5k. We may be towards the bottom of the league but we still have a pretty decent fanbase bearing in mind the woeful football we've had at home this season.

I really want to quote this and say supporting your team has fuck all to do with the standard but he is right.

If we want to get the plastic arm chair fans off their arses and into the CG we need to win games, success brings in the fans.

Although bad finanically, some of the fans that have come and say by me this season (i have no idea how long they have been going) I'd be happy if they fucked off and never came back like angry shouty man.

I'd be happy with 1,000 every week if it was the 1,000 that went to Leicester. Proper support that was

You are so far up your own arse!
With only 1000 "proper fans" the club would soon fold.

Yes, I clearly made that point myself. I just perfer supporters who get behind the team rather than those who are super negative all the time. I fail to see how that makes me up my own arse? Financially would be a blow but other than that they are no loss.

I'd rather we had good support who got behind the team though. Although Tuesday night it was interesting to hear everything on the pitch. I wouldnt like to be Jamie Vincent Jr and not get up for school and having shouting GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!!! at me

I and many others do get behind the team, but when we are served up such garbage on a regular basis that becomes very difficult to maintain.
On Tuesday I do not recall a 1000 supporters giving their all for 90 minutes, do you?

no, it was like a bloody funeral but rather than the actual numbers I was comparing our general level of support to that we had at Leicester.

It was the best support we've had in a long time, you really left there thinking you'd made a different and you were proud to be a Town fan.

i wasnt there on tuesday,but maybe its not the level of support which is the problem,maybe out of the 6000 fans at thegame were the majority who did go to leicester (and yes that was a great atmospher and amazing support) but probably due to two things 1-us beating the top team for 86 minutes, and 2- the fans were concentrated.

if the same 1000 fans were there on tuesday the effect wont be known unless they were sat together. so its not the level of support,its just the %of home fames that dont show support as those who go to the away matches do,if that makes sense?

Garbage on a regular basis? Granted we've seen our fair share of poor games this season, but just looking back over games this year (ie 2009), I'd say that's pretty harsh:

13 January - drew 1-1 with Stockport, in play off place at time if I remember rightly. Pretty good game.

17 January - lost 2-1 away at Huddersfield. Didn't see it myself, but from what I heard on radio and what others who went said yes I'll give you that one. That's 1-1 so far in the "regular garbage cup".

27 Jan - won 3-2 against Walsall. While perhaps not one to trouble the compilers of "100 greatest games of all time", certainly far from garbage. You're 2-1 down.

31st Jan - drew 0-0 away at Oldham, again a team pushing for playoffs. Again, didn't see it myself but again going on reports from those who did, not garbage. 3-1.

14th Feb - 1-1 away at Leicester. A bloody great game, wish we played like this every week. Emphatically not garbage. 4-1.

17th Feb 1-1 away at Millwall. Good performance by all accounts, unlucky to concede to wonder goal so late. 5-1

21st Feb 4-2 at home to Scunny. Say what you like about this one, and it's difficult to judge a game so heavily skewed by a loony ref, but garbage it wasn't. 6-1

24th Feb Lost 1-0 at home to the ref. Total garbage. No argument there.

Final score: 6-2 to the "Not garbage" side.

So out of 8 games this year, I make that 2 that could fairly be described as garbage. Granted, like I said at the top, we have watched some utter bollocks this season at times, but it's definitely got better lately, so I don't think the phrase "served up such garbage on a regular basis" is at all fair where we sit now. You seem to enjoy snatching at the negatives, well, "on a regular basis".

And no, I didn't find much to shout about on Tuesday either. We were shit.

Thats your evidence for proving that we have not been served up garbage is it? You have only chosen the 2009 games (all 8 of them and ignored the 28 before that) and selected some which are highly questionable. You have to look at the season as a whole, why the past few games? Your argument falls down as we are worse off now then we were on the 17th Jan (2 points of bottom 4 and now 1 point), that is where we sit now.

I'm not going to toss off to a one all at Leicester when we played shite on Tuesday and against Scunthorpe (if it wasn't for the sendings off we would have lost that by a fair margin). We got battered by Oldham and Brez got man of the match says it all really. Walsall we were 3 up and then garbage prevailed.

If the majority of the season hadn't had garbage served up we wouldn't be 5th from bottom, and that has mainly been at home. Although Histon was a real highlight.
