StephenIrelandIsAGnome Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 At this time i'm in league 2 with Southport i'v just been relagated . Anyway i'm losing so much money through lack of ticket sales, Haig Avenue holds about 6000 and i only have 587 season ticket holders and i only have a average attendence of about 1000. So my question is "Is there any possible way to get more fans?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Attendance is based on Club reputation iirc. Southport aren't exactly a big club and that attendance is quite high for them even in leauge 2, I doubt its a factor in the game but there are several championship clubs and premiership clubs very close to Southport and this could also have an affect. Fair play for getting Southport into League 2 though:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question is "Is there any possible way to get more fans?" your board will organise fan days, where they will lower ticket prices for 1 match to attract a bigger crowd, then its up to you to make that match as entertaining as possible, it needs to be a high scoring game or a game with lots of action, preferabbly with a win for your team. look out for these fan days, if the match is good enough you should attract a bigger crowd in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenIrelandIsAGnome Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah i had one at the end of last season, we lost like 4-3 and i got a message saying the fan day was a success. I'm also having a good cup run in the FA cup could this help ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellazies Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Keeping higher up the league will also bring in higher attendances, I have a file with bath at the moment, in league 2 also, at the beginning of the season had crowds of around 3,500 and now doing well around christmas time got nearly 4,500 a game, still 4th bottom for average attendance though!
