All this 'make the tickets cheap and bring back lapsed supporters to bring back an atmosphere'. Absolute fantasy. Those lapsed fans won't be coming back. Cheap tickets will just make for more empty seats for fans that buy tickets and cant be arsed turning up. And it doesn't need much encouragement to make our supporters not turn up ( or leave early ). I sit in a small block that gets the first 3 cup games free - yet it was 2/3's empty for the Huddersfield replay. A free ticket and they still couldn't be arsed turning up or passing their ticket onto friends.
This is true, you may get the odd hundred or so but going to the football is like routine, as soon as you get out of that routine there is no going back and that is the case of thousands of ex match going blues and i am soon to join them. Missed several games this season, could not get any takers for my ticket for free and i've not missed it one bit.
