Our support for atmosphere is shit a half empty stadium and a drum is how I sum it up sadly. Some away fans I've spoken to this season said it's one of the worst home atmospheres they have been to. I'm sure the Lincoln game 1000s more will come out the woodwork that's just how today's football is.

Half term was a perfect opportunity to hand out some free tickets to schools at the end of last week.

It's shocking and no excuse.

I travel to home games so can't understand why fans don't turn up when it's on their doorstep.

I can't explain this season. I think deep down i am still sulking we got relegated, and am petrified we stay in this league. I don't think I enjoy it until the final whistle and it's the best football I can remember. Its strange :bluescarf:

I sit in the family stand and my row has been empty bar me and my 3 kids all season, with only Chelsea being an exception.

Row in front usually empty too.

Massive respect to you Monty, it's four hour round trip for me on the train so not as much as you.

But I don't understand it either.

I dont know how many season tickets were sold for the family stand but i think loads are not turning up every game amd last night was worst I have see it. And half term as well.

On a more general point though, its not cheap if you aren't a season ticket holder. £32 if you turn up on the day is the cheapest adult ticket for half of our games. Hardly encourages people to come especially if its pon the TV, not matter how well we are playing.

Yes I am aware that you pay less if over 60, but for an adult between 21 and 60 who turns up on the day, the cheapest ticket can be as much as £32. My son paid £29 on Tuesday. He is 25 and unemployed and decided on the day to go. That's a lot of money to him and I guess many people, unemployed or not. I am not saying we are more expensive than others, its just football has become very expensive for non season ticket holders.

That’s still pretty cheap mate for the level of Football and where we are in the League. Your looking at between £15 and £20 to watch National League North/South games

I get it though, the Club could and should do
deals like buy a ticket for the Luton game and get Wimbledon for £10

I don’t have any concrete evidence but I have been told that the Club hiding behind EFL rules on what they can charge is bollocks, they can charge what they want hence some clubs rip us off at away games

Hope your lad finds a job soon, what sort of thing is he looking for?

Cheers. Anything!! He wants to be a solicitor as he has a degree in law but in his time has been a bin man, worked with monkeys and a window cleaner. Really feel for youngsters these days, the jobs are not there and with AI will never return.

He has done that as well in the past ! As an aside he was struck by how badly the senior stewards at the club regarded the paying customers. No surprise to me though.

Wish him well for the future its very hard for young kids these days,
when I left school 1975 I started the day after I left school and finished with a decorating firm after 6 months on a Friday
and started with another the following Monday it was that easy then,
so understand it can be very demoralising and frustrating and I wish the club would make it a £10 entrance for all teeens for the last 10 games of the season.

Spare a thought for Cardiff Devils s/t holders the price next year is rising by just shy of 20%. I believe the gold (best) seats are around £724 for adult :o
