on the original topic of the new walk on prices, great opening move by Mr Holt and shows that he is willing to address issues at the earliest opportunity. I suspect that this move is more about trying to get bodies on the ground to get behind the promotion push rather than anything financial.

In the past we've harped on about whether the club has any sort of business plan to move forwards with ...
Adult prices = short term
Concession prices = medium term
kids prices = long term (and short term as well for the accompanying parents)

The under 12 price simply has to stay at free or a nominal quid. You can never underestimate the nagging of a child, or the need for a parent to do something with their child. These children are our future and will have little or no understanding of our past struggles or scandals. The ASFC we have now IS a football league club and our standing to little uns is untarnished. Many people say that we should get into the local schools - we are into the local schools. Take a look at the Community Trust stuff, it's great what they do and what they accomplish. I don't know why that's not being converted into young bums on seats and that is an area that needs to be addressed.

Converting late teens is a tricky one, and I would imagine involves alcohol. Colleges can't be ignored from he community trust angle.

Above all else though people need to made to feel like they are missing out on something. A winning team obviously helps with that but atmosphere and comradeship should be taken into account. The Ultra spirit of 5-10 years ago was massive, had it continued at that pace we WOULD be seeing a far larger amount of 16-20 year olds behind that goal. Can it be reborn? At the time it relied on the efforts of the few. Those few were young men shorn of responsibility and rich with time and cash and energy. Fast forward to the present and the few that remain couldn't be expected to do the same again, are others capable?
