Sundance Beast Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 Conclusive proof if any were needed we have an extremely fickle (at best)fanbase who let boardroom politics affect their desire to support the team - strange but true. We also have a huge percentage of fans who are unable to accept the reality that Premiership football is not some sort of hereditary right and that your club requires your support whether they are due to play Chelsea or Doncaster. This just proves how plastic our plastic fans really are and how stupid and idiotic our protesting stay away fans. The credit crunch doesn't look like it's had much impact in Wales and East Anglia. Why is the economy so bad in a traditionallly better off region like Hampshire and the South Coast? This table kind of blows the economic argument out of the window and proves once again that in the right circumstances of passion and commitment football has its own micro-economy and a real fan's desire to support their team remains undiminished. It would be interesting to ses (if such a thing exists) a table showing the average drop in attendances for teams in their first season in the CCC post relegation. Bet we are bottom of that league as well. Makes you fell proud we have such a strong and committed fanbase. Perhaps that's why so many moan about Lowe and Wilde as it prevents them looking a little closer to home for the real source of the problem this club has in generating revenue and avoiding the label of being a selling club. We will be selling players in January so take a good look at yourselves if you don't attend on a regular basis and all things considered are in a position to attend. Successful clubs are most likely to have a strong and committed following but we over the years have been as flakey as our support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes k8 Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 The average over the past 5 seasons counting this season so far is 15.03%. You are not bottom either. A bigger than average fall may show that things are not well with such clubs and certainly those with the biggest falls have tended not to do well. Birmingham were relegated twice. Norwich increased their crowd probably due to massive price cuts. Norwich 2% increase Decreases Sunderland 5.9 Wolves 7.8 Derby 9.8 Watford 10.7 Charlton 11.6 Sheff u 16.5 Reading 18.0 Birmingham 18.7 Palace 19.3 WBA 19.5 Leeds 20.3 Leicester 22.1 Saints 22.9 Birmingham 24.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying £5 less to watch us lose would probbly be viewed as a waste of £19, rather than a saving of £5. Therefore I'm not convinced a slight drop in prices would equate to a decent rise in attendances. Results on the pitch are the number one issue with regards attendances.

We know that even if the youngsters do well, they are going to be sold off. Disilusioned supporters have turned away in droves. The last match of last season was the highest attendance in the Championship. Had he allowed Pearson to rebuild the team as a blend of youth and experience we would have maintained the attendances of last season and massively improved our income from gates - compared to now.

Its not just down to the fact that RL and MW are there. Its also down to overly priced tickets, which do not represent value for money as what we watch each week is poor, with the odd glimmer of hope which is soon extinguished by the likes of Coventry and QPR. All the turmoil which has surrounded us over the past few years would have the same effect on any of the other clubs in that list. If the players we had started to perfom then attendances would increase, football is a results business afterall. Whether we attend or not, in our current climate we would still have to sell players, thats not down to fans not coming but through the gross mis-management this club has witnessed over the last few years!!

No, it was £28 a ticket for the Forest game, so i didn't go. And that is why Wednesday aren't getting many at Hillsborough. If it had been £15 or less i would have gone, for me £15-20 is the psycological barrier for this division. Everything over £20 and i'm feel someone's got my pants down a little. My point is i wonder how many casual fans aren't attending at the mo because of the price? Don't forget as well it's only a few years ago since we were only getting 15k at the Dell. We're still getting that even though we're proper sh1t. Increasing that core support will take longer than a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Forever Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 Forgetting the Coventry game, our recent performances though not good had at least shown the team capable of rolling up their sleeves and giving it a go. Norwich was a good result and I would hope that this game could hopefully stop the downward spiral. Even if just for a game or two. Another good result is clearly a possibility seeing that Watford are placed close to us. Lots of teams can be well beaten away but manage to win at home.

I find it madness, madness that we let the ground only half fill up and yet charge this stupid price for tickets. It's pathetic. This Lucker guy at SMS is honestly not bright enough to manage ticket sales. We don't go along any more on the spur of the moment for evening cup games as there is never enough staff on to sell tickets. You get in the ground at half time if you're lucky and to pay for half a game will not entice me to attend as much as I would love to. (I can't buy in advance as work a long way from home and don't know if I will manage to be there). What Lucker said in the Echo was that selling season tickets is actually holding us back from getting many more supporters in as the club are worried about upsetting season ticket holders by discounting. What utter rubbish this is, it's 5 year old stuff. Do they know at the ticket office why people buy season tickets ?????????????????????? NO THEY DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact why do they buy? Ok there is a discount for buying all year and you get your guaranteed seat next to friends and family etc. Ok on the discount issue this is only an advantage IF you can attend just about every match and as most people would end up missing a game or two throughout a season the discount reason is minimal. So this brings us to either support of the club - with money paid in advance or sitting next to friends etc !!!!!!!! Maybe there is a reason I have not listed? We need bums on seats and noise. Results are mediocre the team is building and customers are thin on the ground. However, WE have apparently precluded ourselves from attracting more support because we have sold season tickets rendering us totally incapacitated to react to market forces. Good business ????????????? no bloody poor business. Before you make mindless statements Mr Ticket Sales expert find out why people buy season tickets and then plan your sales to fill the ground. In other words think backwards !!!!!!! The most fundamental advantage you can gain at home is a large partisan crowd - the 12th man. The club are guilty of not drumming up support, they are not out there making noise in the community - the marketing is p ss poor, the awareness of their customers is non existant, it's often impossible to buy tickets on line or at the ground! The place is less than half full and this makes the overall experience less enjoyable. This resignation from the club to accept the status quo is mind blowingly amateur....................

Mole1 Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 But membership is only one step down from being a supa dupa fan with a season ticket. I can understand having membership in the Premier League when tickets are harder to get, but in the CCC with a club floundering with 50% occupency it's pointless. The only reason to throw £20 down the drain on a membership is if the club is looking like promotion at Christmas time. That way you'll get your play-off tickets no worries.

NickG Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 I can't say I would be chuffed if my reward for paying up front for years was to pay more than I could by keeping my cash for longer and buying each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totton Red Posted 13 October, 2008 Share Posted 13 October, 2008 I suppose it's just easier to sit in front of a computer and complain than to actually go to a game and support your team when they need you. Call yourself Saints fans? I think not. Call myself a Saints fan but also a family man. Understand or do you need me to simplify the response?
