Not great value on a season ticket £320!! Or £300 early bird.
Forest Green Rovers are only £323 and Swindon £370.
Just not value for money, 4 match discount. For example 23/24 prices, Dartford this season offered theirs for £256, 11 match discount.
Worthing £245.
You asked for feedback on ideas on how to increase crowds…well this is not one of them.
Club just not in tune with its fan base…not at all.

Don’t even get a nice season ticket, only club in the division who have a paper card ticket like it’s the 1990s.

I remember a couple seasons ago making a suggestion we do something similar to Hungerford's excellent "four for a score" offer... "we're planning something for next season... Watch this space" came the reply, but that was the last we heard of it 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Next seasons pricing for a season ticket is unsophisticated. In addition to the limited match discount offer, there are no incentives in other areas such as food/drink deals in the clubhouse or programs for youngsters to become invested in the football club were they to purchase a season ticket. At the end of the day, without offering incentives and value for money - people will decide the product is overpriced and simply not attend.

Absolutely. No attempt at using season tickets as a way of promoting/marketing the club like others do. (early bird price for Havant this year was £180 with 20% off certain drinks/food)  An attractive season ticket deal hooks in the die hard supporters plus some extra ones, once they are in the ground there is then the opportunity to boost revenue further. If people don't buy a season ticket and then don't attend the club makes nothing from them.

From there its down to the players/coaches to produce a brand of football at home to pull in the extra punters who wouldn't normally attend.

Sounds simple doesn't it.....

It’s just a bit of a PR own goal all round. We all assume we know why prices have gone up, but there’s no explanation from the club.

The prices have simply been dropped on the site, no rally cry, no “your support means everything to us, be with us every step of the way next season” - simply: “here’s the prices”.

We all want the club to appeal to our community, but they are often guilty of forgetting those who are already actively engaged.
