Following on from the Support topic, could everyone see if they could put up a poster for Saturday's match in their local pub/school/etc? It might help to encourage a few more along.
I've attached one here made from the template on the OS:

Nice one Mad Dog.
And I have just decided to post it to my Facebook page and set it to everyone on the share facility - now, if everyone on here on any kind of social networking site does the same - how's that for a bit of viral style marketing and all for free for the good of the club.

You couldn't post how you did it on here in case anyone else wants to add it to Facebook (the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned
)?

I probably did it in a really overcomplicated way
- I downloaded the file
- Print screened the word document
- Opened Paint, pasted in the image and cut out the poster part
- Saved it as an image and then chose the share photo option on the Facebook status bar
Unfortunatly my luton and norwich supporting friends picked out the £17 straight off, it still seems the main put off for local people.

It's cheaper to watch Manchester City v Reading in the FA Cup Quarter Final next weekend, than to go to a Rushden & Diamonds home league game. #justsaying

I'd still prefer to go to the Diamonds game though, cos I'd actually give a crap who won! ;)

True but pricing can't be changed mid-season so I guess we're stuck with it for now. #whyareyoudoingthisifyou'renotontwitter

I'll take your word on it but they are owned by a rich Arab who can afford to blow £500 million plus on players and could probably also be in a position to let everyone in for free without feeling the pinch. I've got no ties to either team, so I'm not interested.
Just a general question, but something that I have wondered, is football becoming less tribal? In the last twenty years attendences have declined in the lower leagues and there has been an upsurge in the number of Premier League 'fans'.
Whilst we all know why the number of Premier League fans has increased (Sky) has another result of this seen an increase in the numbers of floating fans, that, whilst they are fans of football, are less inclined to go to a match because they can get their football fix more cheaply on TV. As a result unless their local side is doing very well (see Crawley) with a very good chance of glory, they aren't interested.
I recognise what I've said above may be flawed in a lot of ways, but I'm interested to hear what other people think.
For the record though I feel the Premier League and Sky will be the death of local football.
