With a club like ours which has an international reputation, Surely we should be attracting big sponsors. I have said on a number of occasions we need to market the club much better. When you look around the area say within 1 hours drive just count how many league clubs there are. This is a low wage area and we need the numbers at current prices however many people just don't have the cash to spare for the luxury of a football match.
I was very worried by JCs comment that he had not been paid. when we are getting gates as low as 919 it is embarrassing for the club, We have more season ticket holders than that, So the big question is how do we get more people to attend and why are so many season ticket holders missing games? Unless we can stop the decline we might as well shut the gates permanently as we can't survive on our current gate receipts or advert income. our hospitality needs to be more attractive . As strong supporters of the club we should all make the effort to attend the supporters club meetings, It is there where we can exchange ideas and try to find a way forward.
