I've probably missed it but was it explained why we are opening the away end for small followings? Isn't it cheaper and more advantageous to the home side to stick them in the far corner of the east stand?

north stand should be full of town fans, ok fullish given our position, last 2 home games teams have elected to kick towards kop end 2nd half. if we occupied both goal ends would it make a difference? yes... I think so

Unless we gave tickets away, and even then many wouldn't be used, there isn't anyone to put there.

Stockport and Wrexham should fill it. Apart from that I quite like the giant CFC flag that takes up all the upper corner of the East Stand

We should be doing this for the Ebbsfleet game. Potentially a must win really given their position, surely there for the taking.

We should. Efforts to get people in have been pretty half hearted IMO. The takeover issues haven't helped of course but it is all parties interest to get people in.

How about a Family Ticket and Kids go free promotion like the Salford Game at Christmas last season. Or £5 a ticket or something. It filled up quite nicely and created an atmosphere at both ends for the Spireites.

The Trust can make the suggestion to Carson. The answer might well be ‘when you’ve come up with money you can do what you like’.

Give kids for a quid and let them sit behind the goal in the North Stand, they are good at creating an atmosphere.

Kids for a quid is fine, but what are you charging adults? £18 as in the kop?
Schools deal of an adult and child for £10 is loads better, like they did for Salford last year.

True. And any attempt would be met with a much better takeover post any takeover I guess.

I think we need to take a sober look at costs before we go throwing monies at any enterprise/offers.
God I hate this league.

How’s it throwing money away? Don’t think those empty seats and empty stands are making us much revenue, Dave

I don't know why we use behind the goal at all.
Leave it empty, stick away fans on the side. If we want to do promos there are plenty of other empty seats to pick from.

Because lots of us have season tickets in there, I haven't got a blanket for my legs yet, so can't sit in the West
all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+

Didn't say throwing away monies, it's all too easy bandying cheap deals when we don't know what we dealing with.

I suppose there is a monetary loss if people use the deal rather than pay for a full price seat. Would many more people turn up to compensate, I doubt it at the moment
