I hear what you say @Modern Fan 1862 ????. I think Jamie will bring structure but am unsure on setting up a team at home creativily to bring in the punters.

it's all about balance you find the balance what works what works at home and eventually players will know what there role is.

 

And when that structure happens and wins come more often people will flock through the gates ul see this next year.

Northamphton in my view if they lose wilder they will massively struggle next year and the gates won't be as big now when there winning 

Thing is, a lot of youths nowadays support PL clubs. When they grow up a bit, and decide they want to watch local football, they have 2 choices Nottingham wise.

The price difference really isn't that great, so really you have a choice between The Championship and League Two. The reality is, many of our younger fans will be because their family or friends have an affinity with Notts County. For entertainment to price ratio, as much as it pains me to admit it, you would probably go across the bridge. 

pricing is massive 350 quid I paid last season to sit in the kop my mate pays 400-500 at the villa my other mate pays less to watch wolves.

And I know a stoke fan who pays less he says I think we have one of the most expensive season tickets in league two and one 

There is much that can be done to attract support.

The problem is finding ways to execute it, as whatever is done it will take years before it bares impact. I am afraid until we reach the Championship, Notts will always been seen as a local club.

Clubs like Oxford and Plymouth have an advantage that we don't - they are their city's club, the automatic choice for people who want to see live football there. Clubs like that have far more latent support, translating into bigger crowds when they're doing well. Our crowds, on the other hand, go up by 1000 if we're lucky.

It should be as cheap and easy (no trips to the ticket office in midweek) for people to bring their kids to matches as possible.

Obviously nothing gets bums on seats like success, but success is fleeting, especially for clubs like us. Another way to attract young fans and boost the atmopshere would be to make the club a bit of a "scene" where young people can get involved and enjoy themselves regardless of how the team is doing. The Holmesdale Ultras at Palace show how it could be done. We touched on the subject in this thread a while back. Obviously the initiative would have to come from the fans and not the club.

I think something that we are missing that would boost the atmosphere is a song, alot of teams have them at the start for example Sheffield United have the greasy chip butty, forest have one but I can't remember the name, as I have mentioned I feel a good atmosphere will bring in younger fans, if they have fun and enjoy the atmosphere then they will come back win, lose or draw.

And I have to admit in my younger days I supported a premier league team because the media force these big teams on you and its uncool to support a team like notts because we don't spend millions and win every week, so we have to make it fun and enjoyable, at times even the drummer hasn't turned up this season, but a group of ultras would definitely help

i have tried getting my friends down but they do not want to watch league one football.

most support one of the top six premiership teams but until the price goes down, i do think it will limit what support we get at home. i hope the club get involved in community projects and give out tickets even if its at a reduced rate.

I think the club has a pretty good presence and does a fair amount in the community.

The ideal scenario would be for an owner to bankroll a club, allowing the club to lower prices significantly. Even so, such a policy would take many years to gain more support for the club. However, under FFP I don't know if this is even possible, even with a rich owner bankrolling everything. Clubs of our size rely heavily on those gate receipts and I would guess that lowering those ticket prices would lower how much we can spend under FFP, and eventually, the quality on the pitch, which would lead to decrease in attendance.. vicious circle.

Even the countries top clubs, whose reliance on gate receipts is a lot less due to TV and sponsorships, are still in the news for increasing prices. The PL gets a bew TV deal worth x million to each club, and the clubs then increase the cost of tickets! It's a complete p***-take. 

im not saying they dont have a good presence but that is not enough to attract people.

just because your kind or helpful does not mean people will reciprocate it by attending games. i just think notts need to be more direct with their marketing and challenge youngsters to back a local team. 

I think we do need to attract younger fans and especially teenagers as alot of parents take their young children but as they grow older they don't always stay notts fan.

There are alot of older generation notts supporters around that still attend games.

Many teenagers will only attend if their family support Notts, I think a supporters group/ultras group would help make it better for the teenage fans but im not in the know when it comes to other teams and how they get good atmosphere without being a big team
