Seems many just accept this is all we can ever achieve, hardly a plan is it ? It shows nothing of the sort. What would show ambition would be to proactively encourage people to invest in the club via STs. Not just plucking a figure out of the air. That means diddly squat and just puts the club in a position to show failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do. But that is not necessarily those within the club. Just because they don't want to put a target up there doesn't mean they aren't trying to reach or surpass any private target.Why you think that simply coming out with some arbitrary figure means ambition escapes me. Are you saying they should limit it to your 5,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying they should limit it to your 5,000? I would have a figure in mind. Mine would be to reach an average home crowd of 6,000 in the next 5 years with 5,000 of those being season ticket holders. That is more or less the capacity of the 3 home stands and together with away fans would give us one of the top 3 or 4 utilisation figures in the league. A variety of approaches will be needed to get there with success on the pitch at home a big factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don’t think celebrating 3000 is worthy, just my opinion In my opinion, given the current financial climate, a recognition of reaching 3,000 is worth noting. Quite clearly it is not the limit of their ambitions given they say, "and counting" and have asked others to join. That is not unambitious. If you were to say they could do more to encourage others to do so then, yes, I agree. But to assume because they haven't said how many more means there is a limit to their ambition is quite frankly just that, an assumption. And a wrong one, again, in my opinion.

waldorf34 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 The target should be to exceed the figures from the previous season ,unfortunately the increased cost of living makes itso much harder this year ,therefore to match last years figure would in itself be a success. Steady progress year on year on the pitch should bring us closer to 4000 ,nearly a 20% increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'm sure the club have an idea of what they would like to sell, but I also expect that they are well aware that the only way we'll see a significant increase in sales is if the product on the field merits it, year on year improvement in both would be a good start!

You are right SS. Going back further my guess is that the capacity of the new stadium of around 8000 was set by both the budget and likely demand for seats. One stand was allocated for away around 6000 - 6500. If I recall the stats correctly we were beginning to increase figures year on year before Covid arrived and our home support had risen from around 3300 to around 4200. The new owners have reset the club and the focus on community and improved marketing have great potential to increase crowds but there is no doubt that success on the field both attracts and retains fans.

Turn up at the ticket office or the kiosk at the back of the west stand., buy ticket and walk 10 yards to the turnstiles. It's not as if the home end is ever full.

That's all you'll need to get through the scanner, as they normally scan the bar code on your actual card. If it doesn't work, then the stewards are going to be busy.
