I agree with Stealth's comments. I appreciate that a team at this level requires significant funding, however, from a personal point of view I rarely bring the family along in view of the overall cost. I appreciate that there are family season tickets available etc, however, for the average family, the cost of bringing a family of say 2 adults and two children even as a one off is very expensive indeed.

I'm not sure how the prices are set, however my question is, if the prices were lowered to make a family outing to Cougar Park far more affordable, would the increase in attendences more than cover any shortfalls?

Despite feeling that the cost represents good value for money in many ways, I feel that the overall cost is a significant factor in keeping many potential fans away.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts........

I think things like this can be blown out of proportion, in every sport and in every team you get some players that for what ever reason some fans just don't take too and this has nothing to do with colour, race or religion. Even a top player isn't always liked look at Wayne Rooney, Sam Tomkins, Ryan bailey and so on. I have never really took to Ritchie Barnett or even Neil cherryholme if that's how you spell his surname.

People have a right to an opinion and when you are in sport or involved in something that puts you in the public eye I think it is just something that comes with the territory and I am sure every player will deal with it at some point in their life.

Your right, but Cougar fans need someone to blame. If its not the ref it will be RB.

I am a season ticket holder and I couldn't make it on Thursday as I was watching the Happy Mondays in Leeds. I would prefer that all our games were Sunday kick offs to be honest.

I think due to having a photo on your season ticket, it is going to waste if you do not make the game as you cannot give it to someone else to use.

I sent my younger brother down so that my Grandad who I usually go with wasn't on his own and I gave him the entrance fee to attend.

I would prefer it if I could just hand the season ticket out if I can't make it and I support your point that this may generate more fans.

I too think that Swinton played well in the first half, but our defence was better, hence allowing them to score only the once. It was a fantastic team effort in defence which took the wind out of their sails and allowed the Cougars to do the business. Incidentaly Jy-Mel Coleman got Premier Sports Man of the Match, chosen by Brian Noble, and he accepted it very gracefully, well done Jy-Mel and the rest of the team...

Well said!
