It's only when the real fans turn theirs backs on the club, that the club might sit up & take notice. By then though, it could be to late.
1000 fans x £13 per ticket = £19500
2000 fans x £10 per ticket = £20000
3000 fans x £8 per ticket = £24000
Makes sense to me.

Fanfare please, I'm going to agree with a Blackburn fan
If you take the Wrexham match not only did they have tickets for a fiver but also season ticket holders taking a friend for free.
If you are doing the exercise to create a better atmosphere then yes it works to get more in cheaper.
If you did a simple maths thing with the Wrexham game, their average gate is 4471, avarage the price of normal admission at £10 for cheapness sake then it's £44,710. Even if everyone paid a fiver at Wrexham the other night then the total was only £35,150.
Can Stanley afford a loss leader to get a better atmosphere ? Doubt Eric would do that for more than one match, he couldn't afford to.
