Adult, senior and young person tickets for all areas of
the ground will be priced at £10 for entry and juniors (age group 7 to 17) will
gain entry for just £1 – children under the age of 7 will get free entry to
this game as normal.
With attendances falling below the break-even figure of
4,200, manager Graham Kavanagh faces a budget cut next season as outlined by
managing director John Nixon at a recent fans forum.
“If we can play attractive football and win games, people
will come back and watch us.
“People don’t want to leave feeling brassed-off, saying
we played really well but didn’t get a result and we are five places above the
bottom. They feel as if they have wasted money on a Saturday so we can’t have
that. Unfortunately, the pressure is going on Kav."
That fans forum was the first in over a year and supporters
have expressed concerns about the lack of communication from the club. Jon
Colman of the local newspaper the News & Star consistently writes excellent
articles about this and other issues affecting the club.
Crowd numbers have been an issue throughout the season
with only 1,484 watching the FA Cup game against Boreham Wood earlier in the
campaign. 7,934 did come through the gate against Preston on Boxing Day,
however, helped by free entry for anyone dressed as Father Christmas!Affordable Football aims to bring you the special offers, reduced ticket prices and family deals that make catching a match anywhere in the country more affordable.
