Quote Paddock Punter="Paddock Punter"Apparently it was a huge success last year. I hardly met anyone who used it. Now the £10 in the Kings Bar with Graham's interviews and raffles was popular including visiting fans but that went at the beginning of last season!'"
Keen to see how the price hike to 20 notes hit casual walk-up attendances?
If you work on last years figures and take the 900 ST holders out of the 11 games played at the stoop, then 19,817 fans actually "paid at the gate" in 2012.....the increase will generate an additional 99k in revenue.......if attendances fall again by 8% as they have in his first 2 years, then he will still be able to cite " a huge increase in ticketed revenue"
The depressing thing is that less than 20,000 occasional fans botherd going to games at the Stoop in 2012........regardless of any emails asking back lapsed ST holders and adverts in the local papers, these 1,800 "floating" fans are the ones who should be targeted.
