GreedyHarry Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hmmm two ideas to increase attendances, first up kick off on a weekday afternoon, which is fine if you do **** all else. And, forcing a colleague to go is commonly known as kidnap. gasheadontour Reserve Team 4 hours ago Quote Earlier Kick-off's could lead to higher attendances as more people would go straight from work and take work colleagues with them - rather than go home and then can't be bothered to go to the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't work. After being kidnapped once, said colleague would always be volunteering to do overtime. Unpaid. Also have they ever tried to get anywhere around that part of Bristol at any point during the day/rush hour? Their attendances would actually go down further!!

Horse and Groom demolished. When? how? That place is part of my history they've erased. They'll be taking down bloody statues next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a good idea to increase their attendances. Instead of sitting at home on Facebook football banter groups all night telling strangers how great their support is they could actually go to a match instead. Its that easy. W@nky little sag bastards. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham made some changes for 2nd half, and came into the game more, but overall a promising performance. It's good to have fans back in the grounds, maybe normality is gradually returning. Yes, fans are now allowed back in the ground. Your lot seem to have missed that memo though. 6,005 attendance, with nearly 300 from Oldham. That is woefully pitiful after 18 months without being able to attend. If I'm correct, you barely scrapped 7,500 for the very first game back.. Embarrassing really... Yet we continue to get told what a big club & support you have..! I know that's not your fault, but seriously - do you not cringe with embarrassment at what a tinpot shitpit of a club you are..? And I mean the factual reality, not the self invented myths that many of your lot love to spew out at every given opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better facilities and the clubs are in the main fairly well run. I wonder if the Joey factor might have had a bit to do with it too - there must be many, many players who can`t stand the little *****. No brainer really.

Then they might realise that said non league player was approached BY THEM! 19 and gets dogs abuse (sorry Darrell) from his "own" fans because of his connections to us. Then they wonder why he doesn't want to sign for them years later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just had an advert to go and see Queen playing live at the Mem. Couldn't believe it and then saw the tickets were only 20 quid. You had to dig pretty deep to realise it was just a tribute band (the ticket price was a bit of a giveaway mind). I wonder how many people they will manage to dupe with this scam). They can't put out a genuine football team let alone attract a proper band. Total amateurs in just about every way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
