Given that our new stadium is going to be 2 thirds empty for most games, and a standard family cannot afford to come on a weekly basis, why not allow a standing adult bring 2 or 3 children free, or a sitting adult bring i child free

Being a dad of 5 that attends all home games, i am lucky that 4 of them hate football, but bums on empty seats would look better.

I dont see why there cant offer £10 adult seats in the stadium in standing area and £3 for kids.

i think it is £14 in standing for adult and £5 for kids.

The cash does not matter but surly the club must want the fans 2 come week in week out

Maybe, just a guess here mind, its because they don't have any seats in the standing area?

Funny but all I am saying is that it could be £10 game ie the weaekr games the branet lincoin games and kids go in for like £3 like the old ground this kids deals.

We can get a average of 4000 fans i know it sorry scar

Just out of interest, is this ancient Manx or something?

No

All i was saying is that Morecambe had a average attendance of 2200 last season.

And how can we improve of this some teams do set prices depends on what team you play.

And i do think we can hit the 4000-4500 with good marketing skills

Morecambe is the place to be of league 2

Eh?

Your first sentence is reasonably clear, but then you've lost me. Anyway, I'm sure there's a point in there somewhere.

I was only wondering considering the size of the new stadium how can they promote the stadium and get more fans into the ground that was all.

I still think Morecambe will come 3rd

I think 3rd is a bit optimistic the way things are going so far.

Don't worry about the marketing side. I'm sure it's being taken care of very well.

Why on earth does the cash not matter??? Of course the cash matters! It's the whole point of moving grounds. Its what keeps us in business, or, as with many clubs, heading out of business. The more cash, the more competitive we will become because we can pay better wages etc. Cash matters!

If we offered free entry to all games, we wouldn't be able to fill the stadium every game. 3000 is unlikely for a few seasons yet but a decent increase should be achieved next season. We are already the joint cheapest club in the Football League, so I can't see a call to reduce entry by a further 30% is likely to be realistic.

That said, I do hope the club market certain games more imaginatively, especially mid-week games against clubs who have traditionally less travelling fans. So some 'specials', 'quid a kid' etc but over-all I think the club are pretty reasonable.

GRRRRRR!!! darrenlockspeek is one thing, but text speak will result in the wrath of the mods descending! In some people's eyes, it is only one place behind 'misplaced apostrophise' in the 'things you can't hang people for but should be able to' list!

I think an allowance could have been made considering the time of the post!! We were at a 40th in a farmers field in the middle of nowhere. 600 people with 10 deep at the bar.

Bands, fireworks, fast food, ice cream, crepes and plenty of bare legs on hay bails

The do was free but you were asked to put £10 donation to a Charity which was shrewdly collected in a padlocked skip!!

Now that is successful marketing!

Sorry Keith the Lady GaGa look alike just threw me completely
