Hitchin Town held a 'Pay What You Want' game against Frome Town recently with the aim of kick-starting the club's new Floodlight Fund.
Secretary Roy Izzard, in one of his weekly updates on the club website, wrote recently that a season's best league crowd of 572 had come through the Top Field gates and that many of those paid more than the usual admission prices.
This enabled £1,500 to be transferred to the Floodlight Fund after the deduction of the budgeted match expenses and another 'Pay What You Want' game may be in the offing before the end of the season.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle, meanwhile, say they are ‘pleased’ with the reaction to their ‘Pay What You Can’ game against Partick Thistle recently.
An attendance of 3,556 was over 800 more than the last time the two teams met at 3pm on a Saturday in Inverness.
Commercial Manager Iain Auld told the official club website: "The data from this, and other initiatives, will allow us to better understand how many more Caley Thistle fans are out there just now and how much they are willing to pay.
"We'll run that information alongside what we know of existing fans and then look to see what we can do to increase attendances on a more regular basis without jeopardising the club's financial position."
