| Quote Adeybull="Adeybull"Sorry, but IMO in practice a very poor idea mate, once you think it through.
Some of us have to work sometimes on matchdays. Or even, heaven forbid, manage to take a holiday. Or maybe fall ill. Or close family members do. Or have domestic emergencies. Or whatever else. Or have to accommodate partner's or otehr family commitments.
That does not make such people any less loyal fans.
Can see where you are coming from, but IMO would be highly counter-productive as would probably pìss off as many loyal fans as it might incentivise. It certainly would me.'"
I wouldn't attend all games in a season either because of the reasons you list. I wouldn't particularly care if anyone thought I was less loyal personally.
I don't have a season ticket this season even though I have had in all previous seasons. I decided I wasn't going to mainly because of the uncertainty last year but actually thought to myself how is being a season ticket holder actually an advantage? I will probably see 11 home games (due to holidays)so no price difference - the club still gets the same money, just a little later. If we get to a GF or CC final will I really struggle to get a ticket - doubt it. Do I get something when I buy my 10th/20th/30th consecutive season ticket?
What incentive is there for me to buy a season ticket? My earlier suggestion would work for me but I appreciate it may not be suitable for all.

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"We couldn't have use some Cup wins and home Cup draws. Statistically we are due around 100 consecutive home ties in the rounds.
Trouble is if the draws are against naff opposition even then we may only get 3K or 4K through the gate - but that's a load better than no games at all.'"
But cup games, at home, against a club which isn't going to be a big attraction is the perfect vehicle for the marketing dept to hang its hat on. We're not going to get a big crowd, so we can't lose much if we drop prices plus there will be no season ticket holders feeling hard done by 'cos others have got in cheap. Tenner each, and kids under 16 free with shed loads of advertising in the papers and around the city, get 10K in the ground - all we have to do is win it, of course...

| I'll be curious to see what the attendances are like if by some miracle there is a home cup fixture. The present base attendance is at about the level they used to drop off to.

| I don't think its quite that easy with cup games, though? I have a recollection that gate receipts are pooled or something, that the RFL call the shots, and one reason the club never put on any pre-match entertainment or anything before cup games was because the club received no financial benefit from the game just costs...

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark":pogoaf49As for chairmen, such as Caisley, berating the citizens for not supporting their club, that's probably the most counter-productive and irritating thing any chairman could ever do. For one, it won't get one single person extra through the gate - so what is the fookin point? For another, why would even an understandably peeved chairman think that if Fred Bloggs isn't coming despite a great team, good atmosphere, succesful results etc., yet he might come if he gets a bollocking in the press? The chairman may [i:pogoaf49feel[/i:pogoaf49 that way, but if he [i:pogoaf49says[/i:pogoaf49 it, then he is truly a moron.'" :pogoaf49
Funnily enough, [url=http://www.giantssupporters.co.uk/Editorial/Ken%20Davy,%20April%202013.html:pogoaf49 :pogoaf49=#400000:pogoaf49Ken Davy:pogoaf49:pogoaf49[/url:pogoaf49 seems not to share yours (and my) reservations on this subject.

We are far from alone in having concerns about attendances.

| You can understand these people being frustrated by such low crowds though[4,200 at Hudds last week? Jesus wept, but it's clearly pointless to mouth off about it; the ones who [ido[/i go probably agree with the sentiments anyway and the ones who don't most likely couldn't care less, and certainly won't be influenced by them.

| They come across as rich men phoning the newspaper to talk about how unfair it is that their train set is broken.

| In fairness to Davy, his despair looks to be in a letter to their supporters' organisation. Although at least he took the trouble to thank them properly for what was nevertheless a fairly modest sum.
