The B-Ark / Another Free Saturday

« on: February 04, 2016, 01:35:34 PM »

Been difficult for me to get into the footy since New Year. Only managed home to Lowestoft and away to Gloucester - and I see we have another free week coming up and then nothing on 20th either. On the plus side, hopefully it can mean we get injured players back - the downside maybe that we aren't able to get into a rhythm. Hope DG doesn't have to introduce any more new faces as I really feel that some of the additions made add no value over and above what we already have / had.

Looking at the league table, by the next time we play, none of the top six will still have played as many games as what we have. Further down the table, poor BPA have six games in hand on us - win all of those and they'll be on the verge of the play-offs as opposed to four points off the relegation zone.

Right, back to work.

The B-Ark / v Glos

Awful. No quality. Hoof ball. Zero end product.

File under Lowestoft away and Worcester away.

The B-Ark / Southwell

Heard a rumour today that he may not be injured and could actually be on his way to a club higher up in the pyramid.

No idea if this is true.

Awful today. On a par with Worcester away. Not looking too good for the immediate future with Southwell out.

The B-Ark / Harrogate Match

« on: November 11, 2015, 07:18:11 AM »

Thought Harrogate were pretty good actually. Can see why they are near the top of the league. Lots of pace and importantly, they used it to good effect going forwards as a unit.

They always seemed to be in control of the game and I think we did well to get a draw in the end - despite them getting a very dubious penalty from where I was sat.

The B-Ark / Deacey Gone

Never seemed to do anything for us - not quite sure why we even signed him - maybe a panic pre-season signing !

The B-Ark / Greene

I see Dennis Greene's nephew has ruptured his ACL and will be out for the season.

Having had this happen three times I feel his pain.

Good luck to him on the road to recovery.

The B-Ark / O/T Ticket Price Survey Results

« on: October 01, 2015, 09:01:46 PM »

For the first time, The Football League has revealed the average price paid per paying spectator at matches across its competition.


An analysis of the Official Gate Statements submitted by clubs to The Football League during the 2014/15 season has revealed that the average admission price paid was £14.08 per supporter.
   
 In the Championship the average admission price paid was £15.65, while in League 1 and League 2 it was £11.72 and was £11.58, respectively.
   
 Club Gate Statements reveal that clubs generated a combined gate revenue of more than £213m last season and sold more than 15.1m tickets.  In addition to, and not included in, the above figures were a further 1.3m free admissions, with the overwhelming majority being young fans that were given the opportunity to experience live football for the first time.
   
 The figures include the admission costs paid by season ticket holders, non-season ticket holders, supporters in corporate hospitality areas and away fans.  It includes those paying adult and concessionary prices.
   
 The Football League's Chief Executive, Shaun Harvey said: “These figures show that, on the whole, Football League clubs continue to offer value for money to their supporters.
   
“Ticket pricing will always be an emotive subject and any debate about whether fans are getting a good deal clearly has to take account of what fans are paying across the board rather than purely focusing on selected prices that they could be asked to pay in certain circumstances.
   
 "Clubs offer a wide variety of ticket prices with the best value being offered to those home fans that commit to purchasing a season ticket or benefitting from a ticket promotion. As a result, season ticket holders now make up a greater proportion of crowds and account for 10 million of the 16 million plus admissions to Football League matches every season.
   
 "The inevitable consequence of offering such good value to these fans at one end of the spectrum is that those fans at the other end, such as those paying on the day for a single match, will be asked to pay more.”

See he has gone out on loan to Matlock for a month. Can't really comment on him as hardly seen him play. Not sure what DG saw in him to sign him in the summer - maybe he has promise ?
