Young people should have free entry to every game.
On exposure Social media seems to be the modern way to reach people other than the same old few who happen to drive the same old route past the Shay or by chance walk past a shop window.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the Forums have been featuring the game for a few weeks since the draw and when your skint you have to balance costs vs return on advertising.
At a time when the club is fighting for survival it’s a bit rich to be saying the club could do more when at the same time you’re deciding to stay away and do nothing apart from complain don’t you think?
I agree the club is very limited as to how they can promote the game. I just think all the chickens are starting to come home to roost this season after cracks appearing for the past few seasons, and that's for all clubs, not just Fax.
As I've said (many times!) the championship clubs need to multilaterally half the players' contracts (when they come up for renewal of course) and half the entrance fee to a tenner ........ I find it impossible to get former fans to come to even the big matches when it's 20 quid, and I'm even embarrassed to admit I pay such money to watch. It's OK saying it won't happen because the likes of Bradford won't play ball, but if they don't they won't have anyone to play against in a few years time.
Even SL is struggling, they have to give coverage away to the BBC and I think they'll be in for a nasty shock when SKY renews in a couple of years time.
Sorry to be all doom and gloom, but it doesn't take a big reduction in crowds for the proverbial to hit the fan. I've seen away followings fall to non existent levels, only Bradford brought a decent number last season, with the prospect of further falls with existing fans dying off or losing interest and not being replaced by new fans.
