zak bentley Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I've just been told I'm having a fan day. Does this have any further consequences? What's the point of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

htfc_ttid@yahoo.co.uk Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's a day when the weather's particularly hot and everyone brings a fan to cool themselves down. Free fans are given to those who don't own one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 If you put on a good match, then the people who came at reduced prices/free with an adult will be more inclined to attend your matches in future. There are also financial benefits with a boosted attendance for that match, even if things do not go well. I've seen: - Child gets in free with an adult - Child gets in half-price with an adult - All tickets half-price - 2 tickets for the price of one and others, I think, which I cannot remember. As a lower league club you will get them more, as an increase in attendance is more likely to be neccesary - you wouldn't find a Premiership team such as Arsenal having a fan day, but you may find Middlesbrough or Derby having one, and you'd also find a BSP or BSN/S team having one.

zak bentley Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 So judging from that I did pretty well. Pulled off a 4-1 win... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm interested to know how results affect that because it seems that being entertained is the one key factor. I won 1-0 on a Fan Day and the board said the uninteresting match meant it had little effect, yet when I lost a high scoring match they said it was great. I'd be interested to know if you deliberately get hammered 7-0 on a fan day whether your fans will be delighted by the entertainment and you'll get an attendance boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnySanchez Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I always say to my players to â€play for the fans †in the team talk before the match that is labelled as a â€fan day†and they, in 9 matches out of 10, put a really good show with a lot of hard tackles, yellow cards, scoring and also a lot of conceding goals, I hardly ever lose a “fan day†match (but I think that they must have somewhat good morale in order to play good if you say to them “for the fans†and the team must at least be “fairly determinedâ€) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turn it upto 11 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 i had a fan day i didnt know about untill after thge match, any way i beat top of the league in a really good match, it was only 1-0 but a good match. anyway the board said the fans were disappoited, i beat top of the league ffs, if derby had beat man utd 1-0 would the fans go "well it was ok but only one nill, what are they playing at!"
