First Timers : Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:41 pm  

Just wondered how first timers enjoyed yesterday.

Was there any Barnet football fans there who havent been before?

Re: First Timers : Sun Feb 23, 2014 2:03 pm  

There were a couple behind us who were first timers. They knew nothing about RL yet somehow found out about the game as they lived nearby. They even did a bit of their own research and were well aware of our plight. Incredible eh.

I saw quite a few Barnet scarves and hats worn by fans in the crowd. Promising!

I was saddened not to see a bloke holding up a sign "No fans, No Broncos".

It didn't go on that was my point.

Non troll Barnet fans like mellifera are more than welcome.

The £5 a ticket would have helped.........here's your benchmark
First SL game at Griffin Park 4,200+ with a £5 ticket offer to Brentford Fans
First SL game back at the Stoop 8,000+ with FREE entry to Union ST holders

Were each of those moves straight after a possible administration and extinction of the club, which subsequently put people off by the constant battering in the press and social medias before the club even set foot in Edgware?

Or on the same day as an England Rugby International against Ireland at home?

. and a huge marketing spend.
However, TR put out an uncompetitive squad who were well beaten by opposition that was clearly of a different class, and so the long downward slide commenced.

You forgot the dog ate your homework

My post was in direct response to the comment about the number of Barnet FC fans in attendance. The opening game of the season in a new ground is relevant, regardless of the farcical goings on since September last year. Barnet fans (or Quins in 2006 when we'd come out of administration at the end of the 05 season) were invited to come and see something new.....they were offered tickets for a fiver and turned up in their "dozens".

Polish the turd all you like, just don't expect it to shine!
