I know that it is intended to try and win these clubs a few new fans who might come back and pay a few quid to see another game or two, but if I turn up to Kings Lynn for the first time ever with my Norwich season ticket, then how are regular Kings Lynn casuals or indeed Kings Lynn season ticket holders supposed to react to that? If I lived in Kings Lynn, for example, and turned up with my usual £10 ticket..... and then found out that everybody around me was on a freebie.... I''d be wanting my tenner back. Surely a stronger message would be sent by encouraging people to turn up at the door and pay a tenner to watch a game of football, thus supporting these clubs financially?

Tim Allman 1 Posted September 3, 2011 It was £5 to get in with a Football League season ticket today at my local non-league club Wealdstone, and they had a crowd of 501 which was the best of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lets be aving you! 0 Posted September 3, 2011 Went to Histon, my local team, versus Stalybridge Celtic. Histon goalie sent off for a professional foul, with Histon fans saying it was a dive and that the opposition player was going away from goal. Deja vu or what? "If only they''d signed Fraser Forster", I muttered inwardly to myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I went to Histon too, they play a lot better football than they did a few years ago in the BSP, if the keeper wasn''t sent off I think they would have gone on to win it, two really good chances in the first half could have put daylight between them and Stalybridge.Anyway I think it was a good idea, but Histon''s gate was still only in the 300s as it has been all season.

Gerry Harrison 2 Posted September 3, 2011 Lowestoft''s attendance was 701, their lowest of the season! However the lack of away fans didn''t help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted September 3, 2011 I watched part of a local league match whilst walking the dog. Wilmslow was one of the sides, don''t know the other. Even my dog was a critic as he thought the game was cr*p or at least that''s what I imagined he meant when he took a dump by the touchline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
