v Salford

[Pilgrim86]

those that bought season tickets would rightly have a grumble.

Really? You get several free games as part of your season ticket. I can't see why anyone would grumble for 1 game, the last game of an overall good season.

Get the kids in, make it a good atmosphere and hand out fliers to the kids to take home to their parents.

Current season ticket holders are in the main loyal supporters who love the club and I am sure that to a person they would be right behind any initiative to get more support, be it just for this one game or the future. Not only that but this game should be promoted in any way possible as to be honest our selling of Boston United is very poor, it needs to be in the spotlight at all times not just when we have a good win.

I didn',t mean grumble over a one-off. I would be very much in favour of that. My grumble was meant if you bought the season ticket and then kids went free to all games.

Nobody has suggested kids go free to all games.

I always have a wry smile after a win like this. Probably our biggest week in terms of quality and performance. To take six points of these two is nothing less than amazing. Yet just a few posts.  Next week for the last game we should take a leaf out of kings lynn kids go free etc etc to get people in to see what a very good team we have.  To look at the table is almost unreal. On a separate note well done to Mick Small and Darren North to a great night in the Sports Bar hosting an after dinner speaker event with the excellent Mark Crossley and comedian and food raising money for the youth set up.  The feedback has been brilliant.  Well done

Excellent point re kids for free etc This is just what I was saying on the bus coming home, Lots of kids going for the first time with the experience of watching the end off season presentations as well could be a great winner.

kids free would be a great idea, but the club do already reduce for the kids with reduced price for parent+child entry and also the season ticket the same. They can't sell these and then give kids free of for a quid, as those that bought season tickets would rightly have a grumble. As they've already announced theyve  held the season ticket price, and combination tickets, they can't now offer the kids free, etc. I bought my 9 year old a season ticket (main stand) for this season at £25. She's been to 15 games, so that's about £1.65 per game. If I'd paid per match at £5 per game, it's have cost me £75 for the same matches. So, to be fair, I'd call that a decent saving already.

It costs me £15 for my lad and myself on the Town End, and before then £17 on the main stand. I think that is a fair price for us both.

I think we will just get season tickets for next season though even if they dont get much use for the first few weeks of next season ( wife's work gets in the way some weeks    )

On the other side it was the kids for a quid that got me started properly watching the team so could see the benefits to both.

I guess Garry Neville will do nothing about it and also the League or FA

Well in fairness Gary Neville probably can't do much about it but I believe an official complaint has been lodged and rightly so - that utter moron could have really hurt someone. It's only down to his woeful accuracy that a Boston fan wasn't burned. The Salford fans were mostly great - the thing that was most annoying about this was the guy was escorted to the side of the pitch and then released without charge!

As an aside - are there rules about drinking in sight of the pitch at this level? I thought there were, and yet there I was - downing a few in the sun along with hundreds of other happy punters as we cruised to victory. Bloody brilliant. If only we could do that more often.

I bet the BBC won't feature it in there documentary.

You can't drink within site of the pitch for FA Cup games (and Football League/Premier League I think), however for other games it's down to the licence held by the club (there are other grounds which allow it, Nuneaton and FCUM do too from what I remember). I wonder if BUFC will go down that route for the new stadium.

You can drink at Curzon Ashton while watching the game as well.

you can at Ferriby as well. The door to their social club opens directly onto the "terrace" and is next to the doors to the changing rooms and officials room.

Salford have parted company with their joint managers...

[youngchubby69]

Blooming hell that is a shock.

[youngchubby69]

Reading on their FB site it seems that they have been forced out by Gary Neville, apparently he wants a high profile league manager in charge, but we all know that works really well in non league.
What an idiot and such a control freak.
