So does dropping prices work

Post by Biggles »

I know its just 1 home game into the season but what do you feel looking at the early figures.

Fleetwood Town - Rushden home attendence around 1000 at £17 entrance price.

Luton Town - Kettrin home attendence around 1200 at £12 entrance fee.

Looking at those figures the £5 quid diference hasn't made the floating fan rush down in numbers to Kettrin given it was a high profile game and it will be interesting if things pick up for them as the season progresses and if the our high price will deter as many as some think.

To me the issue of numbers is more down to how we end up playing and position in the table not the price.

On a personal level price will affect me.

I'm going University in Huddersfield, and for me to go to watch them is hardly any difference from Diamonds. I've got talking to a group of us doing the same course and we are a mixture of teams - Bristol City, Gillingham, Cardiff.. We are taking it in turns to go to games of each of our clubs, and I'm sure they would rather be watching league football than Non league football with not much price difference. I'm going to work all prices out later.
