from rochdale, embarrassing at its best, god knows how many are going to be on for the next friday game against d&g
I like 'buffoon', the nicest thing that I've been called for quite some time. I announced what I was instructed to announce - nothing more, nothing less. I also thought it was all crackers.:rolleyes:

Crowd is 2180

1078 visitors

We had 102 more than Rochdale.
I know this is being pedantic, but 2180 minus 1078 equals 1102.

Therefore, we had 24 more fans on (1102-1078)

Sorry!!

You are of course correct. I have kicked no.1 son and told him to pay more attention in maths.

Whatever the difference it is still a sad and sorry state that we have got to this.

John !!.. If this new recruit to the Forum...who has obviously not been schooled in the forms of etiqutte that is expected here ( Buffoon indeed !), had been in posession of the information which you passed on to me prior to the match, I feel that he or she ( did sound a little like the rantings of an old woman !) would not have been so quick to criticise your efforts.
( and for once we were not subjected to the musical 'treats' which the sound system in the Main Stand was never able to reproduce accurately !).
Good to have you 'coming in our ears' again !!...

In that case the question must be, who asked ?

The next home game is massive a Friday Night game with nobody local playing a chance to drop the admission prices get a decent crowd on and really kick-start our Home Form and if we do give it another incentive with a money off coupon for the next home game after this who knows it may actually encourage people to come back?

So come on somebody at the Club "grasp the nettle" and let's get it out there what have we got to lose?

talking of grasping the nettle I have a challenge for the Supporters Club to take on

Assuming that we still have a club for the 2014/15 season, the challenge is how much effort can the OSC put into pushing the first three home games? This effort can be by way of personally doing it or getting the club to push it.

Every season we wait until we either skint or near the bottom before we put on an offer to try to get people through the gates. It's too late then. Get them at the start of the season when its warm, dry and light 'til late.

Every 'weapon' at our disposal should be put into pushing those crucial first games and it doesn't matter which league we are in for that matter.

kids for free and push the family side of it (bung 'em int'Whinney hill please)

What can the OSC do that the club cant?

The club has the power to do special offers for tickets, to set the prices for admission, it has the avenues available to advertise the games and it has the option of making people aware of it on social media. The club are the ones that should be in the driving seat for things like this, especially the flexi-ticket option, this is something that should be advertised a lot more to increase the low sales of this ticket option.

At the end of the day, the club is a business first and a football club second, the right people need to be in the right positions to push commercial activities and to improve ticket sales/ ways of selling them/ ticket options and pricing games accordingly to increase attendances. The club has to look at offering online ticket sales as a way of increasing attendances. Most businesses are moving to online sales to generate more business so surely this is something we have to move towards?

The OSC can advertise ticket sales on various social media platforms and pass on the word to other people, this is what us as fans can do too. Beyond spending our hard earned money on tickets there is little else we can do.

The Dagenham game pricing could be looked at to reduce prices as a one off or offer 3 tickets for £35 for the October home games just as a thought.

Rob in terms of pushing particularly the Flexi Ticket idea which I still think is a cracking idea I spoke on Radio Lancashire, had a piece with the FSF, gave comments to the Accy Observer and pushed on here as well as Twitter the problem was it was not followed up by the Club with a Grandiose Launch which it deserved it only seems to have been the last week where it has started to trickle out again.

Needs to be a lead story on the Website and followed up with a press release even now it could still bring in some coin.

Do we have a New Commercial Manager in place yet?

As this for the Club could be the "Signing of the Season" for the Club barriers to be broke down and re-connection with the Community and Business Community of Hynburn out on the knocker driving Matchday income up, driving the Gold Bond back up or looking a more localised version.

Nelson FC which are not a million miles from me are signing commercial partners up, launching a Gold Bond, having players meals sponsored and are leaving nothing untuned in pursuit of pushing the Club in so many different angles we have so much to learn.
