We are currently watching probably the best attacking North End team for absolut years here, we have two massive home games, and the club aren’t doing anything to bring people in??? A tweet here and there isn’t going to do much.

Should’ve done two games for 30 quid and you will see the stayaways come back.

Deepdale is a morgue, even against Wolves when 1 up, atmosphere was shocking.

Poor from the commercial side of the club.
 
There’s only so much the club can do. As you say, we are watching the best attacking north end team in years.

That should be enough to bring fans back. If not, shame on them. It’s not the club’s fault. It’s not as though the prices are extortionate.

It's easy to lose support and much more difficult to pick it up. Our home support (ignoring visiting fans) is approx. 11K. This goes up a bit for big matches but is otherwise quite steady. It has not been significantly higher than that for 2 or 3 generations and that will not change unless (until) we reach the premiership.
Nothing the club can do will change that fact IMHO.
We are a small club punching above our weight - something I am proud of - let's not kid ourselves we are a big club just because we have an illustrious history.
 
Sadly this season our best home attendances have coincided with pretty much our worst home performances, the fickle ones are hard to win back, they come on, dont see what they want and then stay away, poor support but thats the way more and more!
 
a few come for the cheap ticket and stay away again, the so called singing fans in the top corner have been pretty shit lately, sing shit songs, they should sing songs the PNE away fans do
 
I said on a previous thread that as a season ticket holder I would have no problem with the club reducing prices for the run in to get the gates up. We need to do everything to get us in the playoffs.

read this on another thread and I agree, lets put a deal on for that last few home games ! Or certainly get a poll going to gauge opinion.

Have to agree.
 
We might be trying to play a better brand of football but st Home it has not been working and our record is poor.

I haven’t been away but have listened to the comentaries for most and heard/read the opinions of supporters who have been and it is evidently successful and enjoyable to watch.

The reason we are not already in the top six is down to poor Home form in particular draws against poorer teams.

I don’t think it’s the fans fault that opposition come here to nullify us and are often successful.

Its much easier to nulify a lone striker with three behind him , just put 5 in midfield and your lone striker hardly sees the ball !

I stopped reading there.

Sick to my back teeth of our fans criticising the incredible 11-12k that turn up come what may.

FFS give this a rest.

People have better things to do with their lives now. Turning up to watch preston vs bolton is not the highlight of everyone's life, especially as the prices are so steep and people not so rich.

In my experience over 50 years, at any of the 3 levels I've seen us play, our ability to fail to rise the occasion is unmatched. I exclude the Play-Off win at Wembley, because I wasn't there.

Oy hang on a minute.... Wasn't it you that was banging on about how there are many supporters that seemingly only attend Deepdale in order to take their pleasures from slagging off their favourite whipping boys non stop?.... If it was someone else then I appologise and will have a look back as to who it was.

I agree with this. Furthermore not everyone is loud and vocal - especially on the STFS where I sit. It seems to me a lot of the shouting is by the so called fans who watch all their football in the pub. If we pay our money and turn up - isn't that enough.

Do you mean this comment:

In short dont take emotion out of the game and, in truth, if folk are going to have a go its better done on here rather than at Deepdale were there are still some utter clowns who enjoy nothing more than shouting derision at their pet hate player for 90 mins.

That's the one....... You can't make both statements you silly bugger.. They are either fuckwits or incredible..... How about a compromise?...... Deepdale attracts a small proportion of " incredible fuckwits" ? 😀😀
