    I can only remember this being done once in the bad times back when Peter Taylor was manager against Stockport County, usually they were offered to get a big backing for the team when they were going well.

    Well lets stay with what we have then, would you be happier with that situation, and for an Edin hater I thought I was being possitive.

    I'm amazed there are so many people wetting themselves about this. It does absolutely nothing as regards the actual problem. A lot of normally level-headed people seem to have turned gullible at the merest fluttering of Julian's eyelashes.

    When the club are trying to do things like this a flyover would be a pathetic gesture. Here’s hoping for a nice high wind

    What is amazing is that these new ‘initiatives’ have been announced now.

    Hardly ‘rocket’science is it! How on earth didn’t a competent CO and owner not think about this option? Not sure how much of a ‘Consultncy’ fee this entailed.

    I suggested ‘Free’ travel to Aldershot, where City would get 45% ‘cash back’ from the FA cup game and progressing to Round 2 would potentially be financially lucrative. If we had positive results at Aldershot and Barnsley, it may have softened the ‘stayaway’ stance of many.

    Quite frankly they should be concentrating on the 4,000-5,000 who have Season Tickets for 2018/2019 and have stopped coming!

    If they get a 1,000 ‘take ups’ of the offer and perhaps 12,000 Season Ticket holders, it is hardly going to be a 20,000+ gate. Even counting a full compliment of around 15,000 Season Ticket holders (even if they are not all actually in attendance), say 2,000 Oxford fans and 1,000 offer takers, then it will still fall short of the 20,000+!

    The fact that we lost around 4,000 Season Ticket holders is for a reason, and predominantly product related.

    It is always a potential banana skin, making a statement which includes a figure, especially one that seems unachievable.

    It is effort and achievement on the pitch, which is going to start to attract missing fans.

    Totally agree. The problem has merely been moved slightly to one side but still firmly in the background.

    We now have a PR, a link to the fans (LOL) who seems to have got straight on the phone to supporters clubs, social media personalities (Banter boys) and people like width of the post/city gent to try build bridges but also in the knowledge that they'll post it on social media that they've already had dialogue with Rhodes and that the future could be brighter than it has been. Very clever from Rhodes.

    Trying to do things? This ain’t a gesture of kindness or goodwill, its a gesture of complete desperation. Jeez, we’re one step away from paying people to turn up. The reality is pretty bloody simple. You want the crowds back? Then get rid of Rahic and start getting the results on the pitch. Gestures like a quid a game aren’t gonna wash now with a large majority of our fan base. Real action is needed not empty gestures.

    I doubt it's her, I hear she's not best pleased with him at the moment either

    Some may be happy to attend for £1, I thought Juilan had more sense than to realise its not about cheap tickets any longer.
    Are you going to be praying for high winds every home game, pathetic comment.

    I like that they are looking at initiatives but seriously you can’t give ST’s away at the moment. Because of Rahic fans are not coming when it costs them nothing. It’s a start but they have got to do harder. Signing some quality out of contract players and then declaring their intent and making money available for Hopkin to identify and then bring in players in January is what we need to hear. Otherwise nothing has changed.

    Parky v Hereford at home. Relegation battle. Syers header 1-1.

    Correct me if I am wrong.

    So quick to forget everything when tickets are a quid and the travel is free. How short minded are you..
