My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... 13:07 - Sep 18 with 14350 views | Reuser_is_God | For me it's not down to style alone, it's probably more to do with the results. 2 things will improve the attendance at PR.... 1) reduced ticket prices, which the club has already acknowledged & actioned 2) a team that constantly plays at a high tempo & look a threat going forward whilst winning more often that not (see 14/15) Loads of possession, short passes, long ball, long passes, shots on target etc have fcuk all to do with it. | |

My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... on 13:18 - Sep 18 with 7510 views | No9 | To be candid, I was close to walking out at half time on Saturday. Town's first half performance was extremely poor considering they were the home team playing against a team from the bottom of the league. That isn;t goi g to get people through the turnstiles unless they bring the price down to about fiver. | | | |

My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... on 14:07 - Sep 18 with 7350 views | Illinoisblue | Stagnation plays a big part - 15 years in the same division will over time kill off hope and enthusiasm. The Mick factor - I think he's doing a good job with the scraps Evans gives him. And I like the fact Mick doesn't play up the injury crisis as much as other managers would. I also acknowledge from what I've seen and read that the football has often been awful to watch. Crucially, for Suffolkians, Mick's not a bridge builder. His tell it like it is approach is not going to woo back Nigel from Stoomarket. | |

Can't be the football then, as we were good in 1998 and have been more rubbish than we are now in the period since | |

How many of those came back/ bought a season ticket? If the product is good enough, no need to give it away. | |

My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... on 14:44 - Sep 18 with 7242 views | Vaughan8 | I don't know why people think this is a quick fix. Season ticket holders may not realise, but the club have been ripping off the casual fan for years (probably since we came down years ago) and in recent years have really not connected with the fans. A lot of fans are not going because of this. It has taken 10 years or so, but its finally hit us fans and it is now hitting the club. Its going to probably take that amount of time to get fans back (except maybe if there was a promotion, because we know how fickle fans can be! haha) The reason why I currently have not gone this season is because I still think £30 (I know there are lower seats for £25, but I like (and want) to sit in the upper section) is a lot for a game, along with 2 hours of travelling each way. It takes a whole day and will end up costing over £100 for both of us to go. Also, different circumstances. people who used to go, may be fed up with it and now do something else on a Saturday. They might have a commitment for month/a year. I recently had a baby and quite frankly, I'd rather send my weekends with him, than losing a day watching the dire stuff we produce. Its just my opinion and I'm sure other people's are different. | | | |

Surely you aren't comparing attendances in 1998 to now? | | | |

It does annoy me when people go from one extreme to the other. It is possible to play passing attractive football and not physically strong and still achieve promotion. Teams like Swansea and Bournemouth have proved this. MM will never change. He will always be a safety first manager who prefers old school footballers who are proper blokes. Ok, if you don't care about style but that will never win back fans | | | |
My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... on 15:12 - Sep 18 with 7189 views | Guthrum | The attendances are pretty much on-trend for the steady decline which has been happening since the mid 2000s, only interrupted by a small blip after Keane was appointed and a more substantial boost as McCarthy hauled the team back towards the top end of the table. | |

Introducing the youth? Isn't that what is happening anyway? | |

the question is, how low will they go? I remember crowds of 9k and 10k early on in the 91-92 season. Which rose slowly and steadily as the season progressed. Hopefully we'll see something similar happen this year... | |

My brief thoughts on style, attendances etc... on 16:04 - Sep 18 with 7046 views | bluehook | Starting so defensively against one of the bottom sides is a factor. Dull tactics. All MM is interested in is not losing, and then hopefully nicking one or two. Starting with a bright attacking side with the likes of Celina would excite the fans, and increase the gate. If then we lose you can all blame me. Simples. | | | |
