Assuming that we still have a club for the 2014/15 season, the challenge is how much effort can the OSC put into pushing the first three home games? This effort can be by way of personally doing it or getting the club to push it.
Every season we wait until we either skint or near the bottom before we put on an offer to try to get people through the gates. It's too late then. Get them at the start of the season when its warm, dry and light 'til late.
Every 'weapon' at our disposal should be put into pushing those crucial first games and it doesn't matter which league we are in for that matter.
kids for free and push the family side of it (bung 'em int'Whinney hill please)

What can the OSC do that the club cant?
The club has the power to do special offers for tickets, to set the prices for admission, it has the avenues available to advertise the games and it has the option of making people aware of it on social media. The club are the ones that should be in the driving seat for things like this, especially the flexi-ticket option, this is something that should be advertised a lot more to increase the low sales of this ticket option.
At the end of the day, the club is a business first and a football club second, the right people need to be in the right positions to push commercial activities and to improve ticket sales/ ways of selling them/ ticket options and pricing games accordingly to increase attendances. The club has to look at offering online ticket sales as a way of increasing attendances. Most businesses are moving to online sales to generate more business so surely this is something we have to move towards?
The OSC can advertise ticket sales on various social media platforms and pass on the word to other people, this is what us as fans can do too. Beyond spending our hard earned money on tickets there is little else we can do.
The Dagenham game pricing could be looked at to reduce prices as a one off or offer 3 tickets for £35 for the October home games just as a thought.
