It doesn't bother me at all. Regulars only pay £10, so it's not a huge difference. If we had to pay £20+ it might bother me, but at the moment, no.

Too late now but we could have supplied a printable voucher which they could complete at home and bring to the game. They are saving 50% of the entrance fee. Not much to ask. After all we can't walk up to their turnstiles and pay on the day.

The beauty of the offer is that it is pay on the gate though, you add in a redeemable voucher or ticket and you're essentially adding a roadblock in the process. The whole selling point is its a fiver in cash on the gate, quick and easy. The only way I see turnstile data capture working would be if we had electronic gates. We're miles off that. What we can do is put measures place to capture data once people are inside the ground itself, through the wifi primarily.

 If done correctly, you can have people connect to the wifi through Facebook and that opens up loads of insight into who's actually in the Sports Hall. Ages, genders etc. By default they would also have to like Altrincham FC's Facebook page, and maybe even check-in, which would drastically increase our visibility on a match day. That's where I see it going anyway.

Now if I were to decide to have a season ticket next time up (not in my current planning), do you think we could set up a reciprocal arrangement where our season ticket holders could have reduced admission once a season at United or City ?

No, I rather thought not.......

Think this United City £5 thing has been done enough now, 905 was an appalling attendance considering. Try doing something for the Altrincham fans for once, so much for diversity

Good grief. People will be complaining next the club doesn't nothing to promote itself in the wider community. Let's just keep Altrincham FC a secret amongst those who already know its there.

Like many it can be a bit annoying that floaters get a discount but i understand that we have too. We are on the doorstep of the 2 biggest clubs in the country. We would be daft not to try and take advantage.

On the data collection subject, we could offer free wifi in the bar but to sign into it you have to use a valid email address. A lot of clubs in the conference do it. No idea if it would be possible for us to do it though

Happy clappy....you make many salient points but I have to take issue with you saying yesterday's attendance was "an appalling attendance considering"

FT Brackley Town (1) 3 0 (0) Darlington 675
FT Chorley (0) 1 0 (0) Gainsborough Trinity 1,084

We’re also topping the League’s Home attendances. With next to no away fans most games, this is a decent effort given we’re still missing a fair few regulars.

Not sure, what you mean by "so much for diversity" but the Inclusion work is not about increasing attendances, in the short term anyway but about building our brand amongst the wider community both locally and nationally. We are gaining a lot friends in new areas and are receiving recognition and coverage on a national scale. When was the last time Altrincham FC was featured on Sky Sports website as a news headline story? We are also getting plaudits from organisations including The Football Supporters' Federation, Kick it Out and  Football v Homophobia for being a showcase Club and punching vastly above our weight as a 7th tier Club. I would also add that it hasn't cost the Club a penny.

If you want to knock the club fine, butility don't forget there are a lot of positive things happening at the Club, in addition to being top of the league.

On a serious note the amount of threads turning into squabbles is embarrasing

We need a separate squabble board

On a positve note my daughter had a fab day yesterday getting a pic in the police car and with the main man himself

Was surprised to see Ashton have only averaged 165 at home this season. We should have more there than they do on Saturday in that case.
