Most liked posts in thread: First home game attendance

As Andy C says its a premeditated marketing campaign aimed at that particular game. As I said earlier you target particular games because they have a realistic chance of your target being achieved. In this case we are lucky that Oldham are the away team as they have a good away following, it's less than an hours drive and is their first away game for some considerable time. This kind of campaign obviously wouldn't work the vast majority of teams in the division due to low away numbers. I'm guessing there will be deals for tickets leading up to the game via social media and there will be the feel good factor still around after the euros.
Aim high, what have you got to lose?

 

I wouldnt be surprised to see the club do a deal for POTD. BOGOF perhaps...or £10 in. An extra incentive to fill the ground.

 

Nice.!

 

Even when their fans are at war with the owners?

 

a lot of times fans will travel to away games if they have fallen out with the owner. Support the team and not the owner

 

Colchester if their “ Hoyle” type beneficiary pulls out.

 

My god what an awful image i have in my head now. Sexy Yeti ?

 

Urgh. Imagine the sight. They belong !!!!

 

This is a hard one to call. I know there are 12k season ticket sales, but how many of these intend to go from the start and are still a little nervous about Covid.

Then you have those who won't have been to a physical game in 18 months who will make efforts to go, this is most likely to see a higher away support.

I think we will be somewhere between 14 to 15k.

 

Going back to my earlier post Sergio, add in their displeasure with their owners, makes the short trip a really good opportunity to get behind their team for the season opener without funding* their owners. Should be a cracking day out, for everyone. A marketing push could well see over 18k. ( *I know they get about a quid a ticket for selling them ).

 

Think I'll be in the Legends Suite for this one now...youngest lads birthday on 22nd and have done it a couple of times. Few beers, 3 course meal, meet some players and the man of the match...although it says a lot about our performances when he met Ryan McGowan and then BRE.....

 

Wasn't that AFC Bury, the phoenix club that play in Radcliffe ? Bury FC are (as far as I know) still in existence, but also very much dormant and haven't issued an update on anything since September 2020.

 

Bottom three sorted then.

 

I bow to your greater knowledge. Was just repeating how I saw the name reported in the press.

 

Just seen it in today's T&A and it is the phoenix club, though they are called Bury AFC not AFC Bury. The original was just FC. If you like that sort of thing, there is a great documentary about Bury AFC on BBC IPlayer, particularly around the trolling Steve Dale has done to discredit them.

 

Can we take advantage of that situation? Obviously McAleny was the stand out but is there anyone else?
