‘Looking at their forum, fans are choosing to attend alternative non-league football in the area.’
There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence for this across the country. It doesn’t just effect home based supporters either. Supporters who now live in different parts of the country may be choosing tier 6-10 clubs that are local to them rather than following their home town club away as much. And it’s hardly surprising when you can get in for a fiver, decent çatering, feel part of a community based club etc.
Any stats you could find about gate increases across tiers 6-10 Renee? I assume this season will have seen a good increase?
