Also gives my wallet a chance to rest, all these games has seen it suffer fatigue.
Luckily I've a season ticket so its not such a hardship but the club should have looked at the fixture pile up this month and done some sort of ticket deal either for the 3 midweek games or the 5/6 games in the month. 6 home games for a paying customer is £90 in the stand, thats a lot of money in a traditionally tight month for money, especially in a low income area like Boston. The Curzon game was always going to be a smaller than average gate so it would have been the ideal opportunity to wheel out an initiative over Xmas to keep interest up in the club.
The club are really going to have to up their game in the new ground, it'll be a hard sell for a lot to trail out to Wyberton on a cold Tuesday night to watch unattractive opponents, personally I think 894 would be a decent gate out there, I really think you can chop a couple of hundred off that for a similar game out there. The new ground should be a new start with new, fresh ideas especially in ticketing games with little appeal to anyone except the diehards.
And before the usual bores start with the personal stuff I have to say the club got the ticketing and pricing bang on for the Rochdale games, it was a step in the right direction. But that kind of awareness needs to be carried forward throughout the rest of the season.
