Re: WBA Carabao Cup Match Thread
The suggestion of a public consultation was to simply find out why we are being overlooked. There is over 80,000 people in Hyndburn, surely we can attract at least 3.5 thousand. I have heard all the good reasoned arguments about the loss of the fan base etc. People like Billy Casper need to realise that we can't afford to go on like we are, we need the bodies through the gates. Simple. I for one will say the club does not get it right often enough. However our club depends on a lot of the volunteers who do a good job for nothing. The public consultation I had in mind was not a public meeting at the early stages. We need to promote the club. I have yet to hear a bad word about the fans from away fans from anywhere, We are known as a family friendly club. We need to work on that and some electronic type ticket purchase which has been mentioned before. The last game against WBA was a match to fill the ground with good decent away fans. I had to give up my season ticket seat to be placed in a seat where I couldn't see the whole of the pitch so saw part of the match. This should never be. these things can be ironed out behind closed doors with the supporters club help. we need to remove every obstacle we can to fans attending. We can all do a bit because despite all the valid reasons given we have to be realistic that we can not survive on the gate income we get. Cashy has called it right, If we do get promoted and struggle we could end up worse. on the bright side if we do well it may be the breakthrough we need.
