ChaddySmoker Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Had the same mail, my guess is they'll sell zero season tickets. They could have said use this email to gain entry tomorrow for £10 then look at season ticket offers after you have seen how good we are! Might have brought in an extra £50, then try to mug people into paying £300. Still would have been in profit towards the September wage bill.

AnthonyOAFC Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Rochdale and Bury both win. Wont be long before our attendances drop below theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Noticed they've stopped announcing away followings because home crowds are too embarrassing... Saturday sub 3000 won't be long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Playing the way we are, our attendances aren't going to improve. This is absolutely the case, who in their right mind would start watching us at the moment? A team that can't win home games and is dire to watch.

rosa Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Having no wine or spirits in the Rocky won't help either. I'm boycotting if they don't sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The crowd was inflated today with the 300 tickets they gave away They could give 3,000 away but would be lucky if 300 of them turned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The crowd was inflated today with the 300 tickets they gave away Remember reading we had given 300 tickets away, presumingly in the family side of rre, I sit there and it looked no busier than normal. Would we add them to the attendance? Not sure how it works with complimentary tickets. If so, very worrying, knock 300 off that would mean 3100, this early in the season. Something has to change soon, i can handle losing, im bloody used to it, but i can't and won't accept losing games in that manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Took me 10mins before the game to give away a mates ticket for free. Club needs to reevaluate there pricing policy. Although while performance was dire the die heads will go but hard to get the floaters back. Edited September 24, 2016 by Forte_Baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It just boring, there were more people looking at their phones rather than the game sat around me yesterday. No chance of getting anybody back if the die hard regulars are bored :censored:less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) I paid £24 on the day yesterday for the first and last time this season...I'm not local anymore but thought I would get to half a dozen games this season. Based on that performance I won't bother again, and there in lies the problem. Zero return on investment for any floating fans that might even be remotely tempted in visiting again. I pay for LP and will just listen to games when it suits, even that has been hard work recently.

OAFCinWolves Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 On the league 1 Facebook page it's posted the average attendance for this season so far. Home we are 3rd worse less than Bury now. Away from home we are 4th best.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting aside actual games for a brief moment, we got about 4000 turn up just to look at Corneys face once. Trust is eroded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Do you really think that there are fans that hover between Latics and the other Lancashire clubs? There certainly used to be but sadly the partisan nature of modern day football has probably all but put paid to people just going to a game because they like football.

Well yes, but that wasn't the point! When I was a kid I would go to a game with my Dad, Uncle and neighbour pretty much every Saturday and while Latics were first choice if they weren't playing at home then we would go to Rochdale or Huddersfield. I doubt that happens much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 If Latics haven't a game or an away I can't make I normally go to a local non league game or a ground I've not visited before, it's never really that inspiring but you don't ever feel as disappointed, one thing non league does have in its favour is the food and ale is generally of a better standard, cheaper and with more variety, non league football is getting rather pricey though and £12 to £15 is the norm now, even Chaddy FC are charging a fiver these days.
