Quote: chrismum "I don't have an issue with the occasional offer and freebie given out that will get NEW people into the ground. However its when people have been given a free/cheap ticket for every single game this season it starts to grate. Surely once we have them hooked they should pay accordingly and we should concentrate on gaining NEW fans. Thought that was the idea.'"
Fine, but how does this work in practice?
How do you ensure that the 'freebies' only get to fans who otherwise wouldn't have gone to the game?
How do you ensure that those who would've paid don't get a freebie?
Also, how often is 'occasionally'?
If it's two games a season, fans complain not enough is being done. If it's almost every game fans complain it's too often.
Not sure how the club can win here?!
Not disagreeing with your point, just can't see a way around it.
