You've raised the tech stakes too high for me there, although why them and Vauxhall would name something Adam is bizarre.
I am pretty sure last season it was £4 off every midweek match at the Ricoh...£18 instead of £22 .. Not much different to what they are doing now £11 instead of £16
Again. Context.
We weren't struggling to attract 1k fans to home league games last season. What we did then is kind of irrelevant.
This is not a normal business scenario, unfortunately everything must be looked at through the lens of the ongoing stadium row. It's why freebies matter now and not last season. The attendance is a very important figure politically this season and so people will want to be aware of all factors effecting it.
So because the attendances are lower they can't do offers for tickets?
I couldn't care if they are a quid as long as we win.

No, stop making straw men, bad logic. Because attendances are lower it matters more when we do.
Edit: as an aside, we should never reduce ticket prices for one off games apart from the very rare exception. Football tickets are not a price sensitive item, evidence has shown this time and time again. It just wastes money and attracts no new fans.
That's where we differ.
I would happily lose every game
if we got promoted and changed the name to Northamptonshire Sky Blues ?
It would only be a name change, whats the problem ?

Ahh I see how the name change and a fiver off a ticket are exactly the same?
But because of joy being pig headed they will be charging a non league price of £11 instead of £22 to watch a game in a ground that is just better than non league standard, and will be watched by a crowd lower than some non league games.

At the Ricoh pre SISU for some games they charged £5
One season we played Colchester at the Ricoh not long after we opened. It remains one of the biggest crowds there. I wonder why.
So if they were charging 22 you would be going mad saying how it wasn't worth it etc.
Would I? What makes you say that?
Not bothered what they charge. £22, £18, £11 or even 50p. I am the same as many. I won't go.
I am off work ATM. If we were playing at the Ricoh I would happily pay £22. I have never moaned about the price of a ticket. It is the cheapest part of going to a game for me. You can buy a ST for what each match costs me. There are many like me.
I agree their pr is shit, but all clubs do ticket offers.
I'd love to be like "all clubs"
most play in their own city / town
I'm not supporting the move, but because we are in Northampton does that suddenly mean the club can't do special offers? Surely it should be all the more reason to do them?
Sorry, I know its arguementative, but anyone who goes to the game support the move in my eyes
Love it how the immortal words "we have moved on" are quoted as fact - what's your solution then? They hardly seem desperate to me.
Cheapest I ever remember was £10.
Because SISU weren't ruining our club then.
Wrong and wrong. Colchester was one the highest ever crowds at the Ricoh as there was a special deal to purchase for £5
Nick, 'same old twist to a thread.' What do you expect exactly. We all have nice chats about formations, the new kit, Franck Moussa's new haircut, 442?
We are very angry, disappointed people. Our club has been taken from us, placed in another town. With no prospect of coming back. It is the lowest point in the club's history bar nothing.
And you nit pick at people constantly. To be honest I think the fans are remarkably restrained, especially in the face of a tiny group of City fans who are a serious part of our problem.
Little wonder that posters talk nothing but Sisu and Sixfields.
Nothing else matters.
We'll keep on hammering away.
Low ticket prices or not, City fans are showing a 90+ % united front and staying away. Long may it continue. Expect more of the same.
You've heard the responses. 'Wouldn't go if they paid me.' Says it all.
Colchester???? i think you have been spending that six figure salary (lol) on drugs!!!
Was it not Scunthorpe? I remember a healthy price offer on a 1-0 win over them.
just seeing where you would draw the line Nick
you dont care if tickets are £1 in NORTHAMPTON as long as we win, but you would draw the line at a name change, that correct ?
He does have a point, 23,431 isn't a bad attendance.
the grendal meant crewe
