United offer free tickets to youngsters
« on: December 04, 2012, 06:30:01 PM »
Just noticed the news article on OS with free tickets for kids.

Got to be a good move. On united live the other week there was a bit of a discussion about how to get more people through the turnstiles, Craig said he would pass on opinions [to the chairman i presume] and looks like this is what has come of it.

Got to be a good move. Get more kids in the ground to get more fans in for the future. When I first started watching BUFC, 12 years ago I got in for 'kids for a quid' and there was many more who did so.

This should help get the paying parents in with their kids. Got to be a better solution than doing offers on adult tickets, doing this may frustrate season ticket holders who have paid.

A good move!

Great idea.

The only problem is getting the adults to pay full price for what has been some pretty dreadful home form so far. At this time of year a non league side with a handful of home wins all season comes a long way down the list of priorities.

But hopefully the New Year will see an upturn in interest.

Nowhere mentioned about adults N40! Just hope the "Jeremy Kyle" mothers don't use it as a babysitting service.
Not a new idea though!

Is it me or has this not been happening for a few seasons now though?  I don't think its a new thing as is indicated in the first post.
