Quote: Perry "There are lots of people with an [iinterest[/i in union clubs, but far fewer who go on a regular basis. Witness the disparity between the number who attend the 'London' double header against attendances for the four teams at home.
Our problem is we don't even have that interest.'"
I disagree, I think people in the south are open to being persuading to go to one off events (in union and League) the dark side just have a much bigger marketing budget to reach these people, particularly at club level.
Most of the people I know or work with have a soccer team they associate with / follow even if they never go to a game....hardly any of those people have a union team they associate with or follow closely. Yes lots of them make a point of watching the union internationals but that's it.
Club union is not a big deal down here, which makes selling a poorly run League club even more difficult.
