The attendance today was absaloutely shocking(correct me if im wrong just over 13,000) fair enough it was Luton Town but i was at expecting 15,000!
Also there wasnt much atmosphere, considering are current form and great set of results at home is it not time for those part timers to return to deepdale?
 
Re: Attendance

Its not only the attendance that bugs me, its the mass exodus 3 or 4 mins before time, I looked over to the Town End at 2-0 and about 150 people must have missed the third goal...please tell me why 😕
 
Re: Attendance

I sit on the town end and someone shouted "why dont you stay and clap your team off!" how true I thought, but there does seem to be more people doing that
 
Re: Attendance

Think they want to get out quickly but i never do that when were winning if were losing 2 or 3-0 i might do though.
 
Re: Attendance

Yesterday,i mentioned that the increased gates wasn,t worth a mention by certain officials,
I was slagged from all angles as a moanjng old git,etc etc,
I wan,t moaning about the team ,or prformances,or l,ge position,it was just about gates,
Iam not going to slag anyone who is MOANING about falling gate to day,even i wonder where they have all gone ,everyone has a little MOAN now and again.
We still had a bigger gate than the dingles.
 
Re: Attendance

Grandad - you were moaning about Derek and fopne, who for some reason you seem to have a vendetta against - not the gates.
 
Re: Attendance

we should be pulling in a whopping 16,000 😱 rather than a miniscule 13,000! 😱 I'd sleep alot easier if it happened!

No seriously, attendances and atmosphere are something we need to address. The only thing I can see for getting more folk back is to continue with the success we are having on the field. Maybe for the club to consider some more incentives, such as 'super 3 and super 6' ticket books where a decent discount is given. Maybe a "Family Fun ticket' offer too where based on the number of kids you have you get a decent discount on a number of matches, i.e. set prices for 2 kids, 3 kids with an adult etc. ANything to save on the pockets of those not coming to deepdale and make it a little more inviting.

Atmosphere, well we've tried anthems, some new songs here and there but they often fall flat. We need a song that will be sung around the ground in unaison.

Too bl**dy right.It doesn't seem to be doing the team any harm.I can't drag them there it is ultimately there choice, if they haven't returned by now then you really do have to question how much they really were and are PNE fans in the first place.My gripe is with the atmosphere and that doesn't necessarily mean more on(as portsmouth show) ,just a larger collection of those die hard fans prepared to sit together,non reserved.
 
Re: Attendance

What will really piss us off is if we do get promotion, the last couple of games will be sell outs with some real fans missing out.

Remember Exeter?
 
Re: Attendance

The atmosphere always seems to be best at the back of the kop, yet they always get slated on here as been full of chavs
 
Re: Attendance

Although attendances seem to be falling around the league, I would like to see us getting the support the team so clearly deserves.

If the Chairman could see an extra 3000 every home game, at an average of say £15 each, giving him an extra £530000 going into the club,he might have a slightly different view of the transfer window

Re: Attendance

Apart from the supporters who have really lost touch with the club there can only one reason why the gates aren't bigger - people cannot afford it, especially twice in a week.

The club should drop its £2 premium on the day. They can say it's a discount to book early until they are blue in the face but it's crap marketing and it's not working.

Preston is not a rich town (City - don't make me laugh - this council pisses in the face of the Queen's Jubilee status award) and a more imaginative approach to bums on seats must be adopted.

Don't ask me, I've no imagination.

I agree with that. Ditch the £2 matchday premium, introduce pay on gate for a section of KOP.

Bollox, the great unwashed will find the money for the play offs, trips to Cardiff, and if we draw United in the cup there will be a que down Deepdale Road for tickets.

£2 is less than 10 fags, a pint, or even a bottle in must pubs.

Too expensive is just an excuse for can't be arsed!
 
Re: Attendance

Complimentary tickets for school kids would increase the gates and vocaj support,plenty of spaces to be filled on the ground

I think you have both got a point.

Seenit sees the phsycological barrier.

Imagine the ticket price like a car for sale. The car is for sale in a showroom at say £9,995 but if you walked in and it said £10,000 you might have a second thought.

Your looking at it more logically in comparison with cigarettes, a pint etc.

I have to admit I think, on a Thursday, "bugger not got my ticket" and get on the phone to book it. Saves £2 but its worth it (or does it booking fee and all that! maybe saves a 1quid! 😱 )

I'm often pushed on matchdays to get parked up, get to the ticket office and get on the ground so if poss I always book in advance but I must admit where I havent booked in advance I have took a step back and thought about the extra cost incurred and sometimes (not often) thought sod it and stayed away. Maybe slightly different on my case given I travel from afar for home games.

Still think the £2 fee should be ditched and a block of seats on the BSK made available to pay on the day.
