IF the club had gone with a 6 o clock KO they'd have got slagged off, and I think less would have come, because.... some would have turned out to watch the other games and stayed in the pub, some in their garden s barbeqeuing if its nice, or shopping (Iknow on Good Friday,ASDAs opened till 6 and some saddos do silly stuff like that!

Basically they can't win, have people not thought the earlier the KO the LONGER THE TEAM HAVE TO RECOVER BEFORE EASTER MONDAY???????,
As with the Catalans game being Friday, some will not be able to make it but the club will have thought it through and decided on whats best for the team. WE play Fri and its then 8 days before the next game.

AS for the chairman, God love Arthur and all of the people who put their hard earned money into our club, as there being people to come in should he go, dont kid yourself, why aren't they in now if thats the case, Id be very worried if Arthur got fed up! Very worried.

Lets all do our bit and try and support the club, new fans is what we need, the old ones still believe the clubs being" robbed blind", I know I still get it said to me, Ill never go whilst, "such a body" there etc etc .
I go because I love watching my team and even if the KO times arent ideal I will go if I can.

Agreed, KO time has quite a lot of sense if you look at it from the players perspective.

By the way, does anyone know where I can find out our average attendances pre 2005? Was just wondering the last time we averaged over 2500 in the second tier.

For me looking from the outside at the club and having always looked forward to games played at Hilton Park and hating the LSV experience, the club needs to take control (say a long lease) of may be the east stand etc and give the supporters back that local club house feeling (that Hilton Park had) this might also get some alternative revenue streams going. Anyway looking forward to the Fev match, should be game of the season so far.

The only revenue stream the club has is fans through the turnstiles , we need a lot more fans , simple as , get to work

I don't know the figures Starbug but does sponsorship, TV and merchendise not bring in money? Or is it such a small amout that it's insignificant?
Maybe someone like Fred could enlighten?

Not getting involved in this Jonny the usual people throw insults around yet come up with no viable alternative.
And I still fail to see how ONE person can be classified as a TEAM?

I may have missed it but I haven't seen any insults!

ONE person you are quite correct is not a team and maybe that is the issue! the club need to do something to get more fans in simple as, if the ONE person cannot do it then the CLUB need to do something about it! Yes we all know money is tight but without spending some they cannot just expect people to turn up

You say posters do not come up with alternatives but from what I see they have in the past and then get shot down by someone because it is not viable for whatever reason! In any case the club should be the ones coming up with marketing ideas! all we can do is spread the word about how good we are and to come and watch!

Someone mentioned 'the odd email'. Iam getting at least one a week. Just register your stay away mates for the email updates on the official site

That would be me, I didn't say it in a derogatory manner!

That is a good idea though

They could always look at buying e-mail addresses from a marketing company and send out advertising, shouldn't cost to much!
