....and another bar that just does bottles so you don't have to wait behind the guy who wants pints of guest ales.

Having looked into the avg attendances these are them since 2010

2010 - 10,947
2011 - 11,169 (1st with probably one of the best Wire teams in living memory)
2012 - 11,845
2013 - 10,875
2014 - 9,870
2015 - 9,516
2016 - 12,268 (1st and got to both finals)
2017 - 10,478
2018 - 10,070

Avg in that time 10,782 so we seem to always get around about 10K. i definatley the pressure everyone in day to day life are feeling may have contributed somewhat. However the indroduction of the easy payment has helped. One idea i like is the monthly DD through the whole season but it depends how they use the cashflow. Also SLY SPORTS will have an impact introducing Thursday games etc. Will be very interesting when i present these figures to Karl and his team to see what thwy are doing to get more bums on seats.

I am pretty sure Karl has the figures already though. Including the correct figure for 2016.

Do we still have that official fan club nonsense with the fans representatives or did that go the same was as Draper.

Re: First Fans Forum of 2019 : Fri Jan 18, 2019 11:57 pm  

We have a hardcore of 8k.
We've about 1k floater fans.
The figures we see are not strictly correct as like all stats can be warped to show favour or the opposite.
Attendance figures include all season ticket holders and are counted as a game attender whether they go or not.

? the one Draper set up was cancelled and the club then engaged with fans to apply to form a forum and for the fans to have a say and also pass this on to other fans.

not sure its nonsense at worst its a voice

Yes he should have those figures you are correct but have you read the full trail. I was asked about attendances going down.. So i will present what ever the correct figures are which shows a slight decline and ask the following

why do you think they have gone down?
what are you doing to try and increase them apart from the obvious?

What would you say to the club on that matter in a constructive way?

Can you ask if there is any chance of having a separate bar for the guest ales again?. It doesn't work having every drink on The Jack Fish Bar. I got bored of waiting in 20+ minute queues last year.

Any chance of contactless payments being available, which would also help to speed up service?.

Will ask about the Ales for sure. I also know they are in discussions about putting in card readers in the kiosks but this mught not happen this year as they are negotiating a new contract with the caterer as this has gone out to tender.

correct RD i know for a fact we have about 6500 season ticket full members so no matter what every home game would be that the rest of the numebrs comes from the away following plus other membership options as well as tickets bought leading up to fixture.
