CALLING ALL FANS, YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU

Thu Jan 29, 2026 3:13 pm

If for some unknown reason Tan and the board do not back Murphy ,it's a down to us fans to help the team get to promotion we need almost the stayaways the armchair fans to turn up especially at our home games top of the league and we cannot hardly fill half the stadium i was expecting 20,000 plus Saturday.

We did not reach 20,000 and 1500 plus we're from Stockport lets do our part push your friends and neighbours and encourage them all back it happened for the chelsea game the family stand was full for that game, where are all you dad's with kids? .hope to see more of you at the next home game.


And why are not the club giving free entry to kids under 12 for the remainder of the season?

I used to always ask the question that you’ve asked in the last line Monty but it’s because a club can only do that a certain number of times per season.

Ok din' t know rules and regs but I am yet to see any big incentives to turn up to home games there needs to be constant incentives to all sorts kids parents pensioners teens.

Andrew,


How come Burton are doing every Home game that’s midweek it’s under £15 am Adult?

You can do what you like as long as you do the same for the away fans.

The club should be handing out free tickets to a different school in the area every home game all season.

It's sad to see the family stand as empty as it is for all our home games, not just this season but for many many seasons gone.

The kids are the future of our club.

That’s fair enough Annis. I’m only going by what I was told when I was banging on about it in the past. I’ve said that they should be sending tickets to loads of local schools to fill the family stand. Even if a fairly small proportion come back we’ll still gain on merchandise, food and drink sales.

Is not being top of the League, playing decent stuff, and having a progressive Head Coach not enough to draw people in? :?

Another honest question (not necessarily aimed at you) is to ask ‘at what point does the ‘regular’ support have to suffer in favour of the ‘occasional’ support just to get backsides on seats?’

For me, it’s a valid question, Like many others, I commit to the club every season, and people should want to be part of this current journey without the need for unfair incentives where the regulars are technically missing out! :ayatollah:

Quiet crowd Tuesday and won 4 nil.

I don’t get why every single fooking post you do has to have a dig at the owner.

There’s plenty to have a go at him for and what you are doing just makes people think “here we go again” and switch off.

We are top of the league and our youngsters are flying. Enjoy it ffs.

Leyton Orient are charging adults just £10 for their match vs Mansfield Town on April 14th

A terrific gesture from the club as U18’s are just £1

Just hope more clubs follow suit and get below the £25 mark!!


Bradford City have been doing this for the last 15 yrs

Affirmative.

Maybe people who are on the fence won’t go because we are told constantly how shite Tan is. Let’s be honest. He’s having zero influence on events this year and keeping a very low profile.

He’s left it to a very good manager who is performing way above all and any expectations.

What are you on about been very rude and aggresive in your comnents there are plenty of my posts on this forum which i have posted which are not about tan, and this post in particular was a posotive, but moreover it was to try and get more fans to get behind the team but you have twisted into an argument about tan bashing ,it was a perfectly genuing question if we do not sign anyone the team will need our support more than ever, might i suggest if your going to have a go at bluebird fans or me more personally, you stay away and follow your local team rather than shouting your big mouth off.

Your first line says “ If for some unknown reason Tan and the board do not back Murphy.”

I’m not starting anything I’m saying get behind the team without having a pop.

Your passion is brilliant, just could do with a bit of refining.

Back to the original subject; I think crowds of 20,000 are pretty good at league one level, no matter what position you are in the league. We are not that big a club to expect many more.
I expect attendances to climb to mid twenties for the last couple of matches as promotion lingers and the weather improves.
But in all honesty, the majority of football lovers of all ages in and around the city watch top level matches on TV these days. Most are not interested in lower league stuff.
They only turned up at the Chelsea match in big numbers to see how Cardiff performed against the big names. It's not because they all suddenly became Cardiff fans.
The only way we will regularly fill our stadium is if we ever got back to the Premiership.

Re: CALLING ALL FANS, YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU
