This isn’t just a supporter issue. There’s a lot at stake now the club in on the verge of promotion. It’s now very much a local business issue and how local business responds to the clubs achievement. If hundreds more people leave there TV or Big Screen league games and attend a live league game on there door step they will need to be accommodated. Nearly every business as something to gain by having increased numbers on the streets on a Saturday afternoon. HBC, local Business Associations and the Club should be battling to see how they can make this work for the town and each other. But even if they bring the ticket price down, will it bring more people to the ground on a cold frosty afternoon or a dank miserable rainy day in the depths of winter. Maybe, maybe not. Easy access to the ground, good parking, good grub and a choice, perhaps some cover for those that want it and a warm friendly atmosphere will go some way to helping. Everything that’s needed is there in the local area, you need someone to get off there a*** and bring it together, if this is already being done then it should be publicised and promoted, information is a powerful aid to growth, if you keep people in the dark you get mushrooms…
