Re: How to increase attendances?
Loads of good ideas;
Attendances used to be better, so the interest is there but for whatever reason people have stopped coming. I think there are two main reasons. 1)Matchday experience 2)Club promotion.
I've been watching from the Clayton End for years and in recent years it isn't as enjoyable as it used to be. As others have mentioned we need to use Winstanley every game. The Storefirst Man gets loads of attention on matchdays it would be nice to see those kids having their picture took with Winstanley aswell! The Crossbar challenge we used to do at half time was always good fun.....the prize doesnt have to be a lot, a couple of tickets or something. This season I've seen stewards shouting at kids, did those kids enjoy their day at the football?
Posters with the wrong kick off times on....on numerous occasions.
I follow a number of clubs on twitter who post things everyday, several times a day, usually nonsense but people read them and are interested. Social media is the future we may as well embrace it, I have read the small column in the Accy Observer about the community team. The club should get these good news stories as visible as possible. It will all help develop a community club image.
