All the other home games this season have ‘attracted’ between 591 and 1,106 spectators.
Their average home attendance this season is 1,097 spectators.
Eleven of their nineteen home games have ‘attracted’ less than 1,000 spectators.
If the price differential is for additional policing / stewarding for when the “big 3” (maybe they assigned Cat A to eight games?) were the opponents, then they ought to spread the cost over the seasons games.
Looking at their fans forum, Southend took 1,200 to the opening day fixture.
Would that volume of support not cover the additional stewarding / policing cost?
It seems unfair to penalise the loyal long suffering home fans just because a well supported away team is playing.
A £6 (30%) uplift to watch a game against a former league club. It’s discriminatory.
£26 to watch your team getting hammered every week is masochism.
A family of five can watch The Batman at The Vue on Saturday afternoon (1:30pm kick off) for a mere twenty five pounds.
£4.99 per person – guaranteed 2hours 55 minutes of quality entertainment in a warm comfortable environment.
Looking at their forum, fans are choosing to attend alternative non-league football in the area.
One fan stated that he is now watching and supporting Heacham, who he says have had 6 promotions in six years. £3 admission, £2 a pint, 50p for a sausage roll – and he says the football is good too.
