Price reduction : Guess the crowd for Crewe (2 Viewers)

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

It's a long way off but I thought I'd get this going before the queues appear at the club shop and we all get too excited about a full house.

So I'm going with a cautious 15, 220


...miles out, I hear you cry.

Price is important but is just one element in why we have low crowds. Criticising people for not going is one response - reaching out to supporters to understand why they no longer go and what it would take for them to return might prove more productive. But the answers may not make for pleasant reading!

im thinking around 10500 mark

It's really simple. They don't go because it's very easy to miss games when the team is struggling in league 1.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

10-12k .........

The answers simple. Get through to the third round of the cup and fix it so we are home to Man U - they'll all be there for that one.

Isn't that the same for every club? I'm certain every league club, probably even non league clubs would sell out for United at home.

I'll go for a crazy 20k.

Not if they were principalled and refused to give money to a grubby hedge fund who'd trouser it they wouldn't.

 

[ccfcmad1]

We all know we have a lot of bandwagon fans if the PR is right and the deal gets coverage I expect a good turnout

 

[Macca]

The people that turn up for these games aren't really city fans merely interested bystanders so it's not a great test

 

[pusbccfc]

What it should be 28,000.

What it will be 16,000.

And the owners are cunts who have driven us this low and yet still keep spouting on going rubbish !

 

[stupot07]

10k. .

Even without Man U, in recent times Crewe JPT and Gillingham show we can get big crowds but isn't that different to getting decent attendances week in week, especially thinking ahead to next season?

Pthat is a large part, but many are still totally pissed off with the SISU stratergy or lack of it and their bullshit.

On behalf of RFC..."let's fill the ground and cheer the lads on....PUSB!"

On my behalf ....10,764, most tearing what little hair they have left, out

Bet you wouldn't be there if it was a replay on a tuesday night,sorry yes you would after all it would be the FA Cup not the JPT.

Or start winning games, push for promotion and the fans will start to return.
Like yourself, some fans need more motivation to attend all home matches.

 

[egastap]

Given the reduction in price for the game, I'm gonna be bold and say between 14 and 15,000. If I'm wrong, a cheque for $100 to the SISU Capital Fund......for players for next year!

EDIT: I made a lot of money with that phraseology back in my old days at the Dunlop in Foleshill. Of course, if you read it concisely, anywhere from 14 to 15,000 would win me my bet! (not 14,000 to 15,000) lol I guess you've gotta be old to appreciate my old fart humour.

 

[chinamans view]

I don't think it will make a lot of difference, people have lost interest this season, maybe because of Northampton or the poor attacking style of SP. 11k for me.

 

[ccfcway]

What it should be 28,000.

What it will be 16,000.

curious. Why should it be 28,000 ?, because we have reduced the price ?

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

12478 to a man, or boy,girl woman to be politically correct

 

[chiefdave]

There's some odd predictions on here. They'll be doing well to break through 10K

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I'm thinking Crewe should bring a decent following now which will bump it up a little, 10-12k my prediction. People predicting over 15k seems a bit barmy

 

[ccfcway]

13k tops .

 

[pusbccfc]

Because it's the same pricing as the Gillingham game, but is likely to mean a lot more if we lose Saturday.

 

[ccfcway]

Love the sentiment, but dont agree.

In the main ,people didnt go to Gillingham game due to it being £10 (i cant even remember it being that price). People went to support the fact that CCFC was back in Coventry.

Since then (in SW words "a season where we expect to be competing") we find ourselves towards the bottom of yet another league, with a woeful home record, and is it 3 goals in 5 games ?

I will be there, but not because of the price. I completely understand why i will be alongside 12k or so, as opposed to 28k

Who else gets 28,000 for a league game in League One ? I can only think of Sheff Utd, and they have had a taste of success in the last 10 years we could only dream of.

Correct, for me at least. I've said this a few times, I'm willing to take it on the chin. This is why I don't go. Pity more people can't be honest.

 

[malkitccfc]

I hate Crewe. Even this season, the away game was so poor. Hopefully the last time we play them for a while

hill, people are honest, they arent turning up and they arent posting on here.

Its why even if it was free, we still wouldnt get a full house.

You are probably right. Also, I've offered my season ticket out every game except the 3 I've been to this season with no takers.
