Re: carlisle game
I wasn't there myself as I was working late. I went to the ground for a couple of bevvies though, got there just as penalties were being taken. If I hadn't of been working I dont know whether I would have been prepared to pay thirteen quid to stand in the rain (looked like it was gonna really bucket down) for a cup match.
Look around the gate figures for all the matches in the LDV last night, they were all very poor. Everyone else had price incentives as well. Other than the kids initiative (done via the league?) we charged normal price. People will not pay it, we say it year after year after year but the club learns nothing from it. I am familiar with mathematics that if you half the price then you need twice as many people, but 450 people at £13 quid a go is equivalent to 1170 people paying a fiver. Always a big chance to gain some new fans and try to make a few quid on ancilliary sales.
I will be interested to see what the pricing is for the nothing cup match against Rochdale. Chance to fill the ground there.
