bristolcitysweden Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 for both CP and Cardiff. Main reason with incredibly fair priced tickets? People disillusioned? Coming recession? Early kick off? Guess recession but would be interesting to get your opinion on why people are not turning up. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheps Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Probably one of the following: A) people still on hol B) Non league footy season has began C) people had been assuming tues night was a one off and we'd lose y'day. I expect next home game (Blackburn I think) will be 17-18k purely on who it is and more if we keep playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now worst than the 1930s it as been reported this week. Crowds will increase , we have had 2 and a half years of sh1t football so it will take time for a few fans to come back but they will.

fanjita Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's going to take a lot more than two good results to get supporters to come back, remember we have had to endure some pretty poor team performances in the last couple of seasons, coupled with the fact that we have had plenty of false dawns in the past, but IF the team continues to improve crowds will steadily return I'm sure.

bywaterred Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I go weather we win or lose. But I know a lot of people that after 2 years of not very good football have given up. After 1 good game on tues its not going to bring them all back for what could have been a very tough game and a potential ass kicking. Thankfully we looked like the great new city we saw on tues night and long may it continue. I should imagine as long as it does continue, the attendance figures will rise week by week. I really hope we see the same great football we've witnessed this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't blame people for not coming back straight away past two seasons have been dreadful. If it wasn't my mad love for City and the fact I meet people before game and make a day of most games etc.. I think I may well of not got a season ticket.

arpaul Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't think it's a Bristol City problem. Having looked through the paper this morning I noticed there were four, maybe five games with smaller attendances than Ashton Gate. Noticeably Blackburnm who I think had something just over 13,000 (?) Last seasons average was only 13,845 and that figure would've been swelled by the cheap ticket offers toward the end of the season and of course the WHU sell out,. The people who haven't attended have missed out. Two excellent performances, quick passing and movement, the like I haven't seen since Joe Jordans promotion side, and eight goals to boot. The holiday season is probably at its peak right now, so we need to hope that our bubble doesn't burst too early (if at all!!!) so that when peoples Saturday routines return, a trip to Ashton Gate will still be worth the entrance fee.

Jungle Jim Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I don't think people realise how cheap the advance tickets are this season, the perception is still that it costs £30 to watch City, the club need to promote the prices more. If the team keeps winning and scoring for fun crowds will pick up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Gutted I could not be there yesterday, I was at a wedding which is probably another excuse at this time o the year. But like most said, some of us go win lose or draw but the past 2 years how many times have we been happy on a Sat night? They will come back once they hear what's happening down the gate, this I hope is a new dawn, but some might think its a false dawn before they return.

Roe Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ridiculous prices IMO. I genuinely don't really care whether we're doing well or not, I'd be down the gate if we were non-league.

Toblerone Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I know of 8 so reckon theres more than you think. The stats are a season out of date but they won't have changed that much. So which is the worst club based on banning orders per 1000 average home attendance? See the SAGS go shooting up that particular league after the Wycombe farce.

TRL Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 It doesn't cost 30 quid this season If you buy early it's cheaper so not an excause Still expensive, with everything going up in price, food petrol drink etc etc, something has to give. Football unfortunately. They is every excuse to stop going because of the price. Season tickets, to be fair, offer quite good value at around 15 a game. But with people losing jobs struggling to pay mortgages or rent, combined with the other things mentioned... Well it is still expensive, and far too expensive if you are taking family members as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
