Still a lot of supporters short of the 17,000+ v Crewe 18 months ago. Going to take a lot to return to those levels.Originally Posted by Big Bob

Simple solution Old-pie : Kick the Danes out and get Big Alan Hardy back, he knew how to reel the crowds in
You know it makes sense !!

I know we’re still in the ‘new owners can’t do anything wrong’ phase of Notts ownership, but I didn’t think the offer yesterday was marketed as well as previous discounts.Simple solution Old-pie : Kick the Danes out and get Big Alan Hardy back, he knew how to reel the crowds in

Bit disappointing not to crack 10,000.

Agree , the one thing AH could do well was hype things up........look how excited we all got about Enzio...fooled me

Yes I didn't think it was promoted as much as previous offers. Perhaps it's impressionistic but I just didn't hear the same 'noise' as when we did the "Two for Crewe" promotion and it was seen and heard everywhere. I thought this was more low-key.
A mate of mine said it was "all over Facebook", but if that's the case it won't be seen by me. It's a perfectly good idea to use social media as one means of promoting something, but there's still no substitute for the old fashioned ways of promotion alongside it.
On the plus side, over 9000 fans will have gone home happy with the result, but I think we could have been hitting 12,000 at least if more people had known, despite the fact that we're not in a 'glamour' league.

Right, which would reflect the personalities of the owners. The Reedtz brothers can't be, or shouldn't try to be, anything other than who they are, but this demonstrates how you can't or rarely have it all. Hardy was a disaster in the end but, as much as most would now shirk to admit, there were positive sides to him and his ability to drum up support was quite exceptional.

Suggests being a non-league club rather than a 4th tier outfit makes all the difference to a very significant number of people, though maybe that's a too easy and lazy explanation.
It begs the question that for us to fill the ground for something other than an extremely important or obvious box office fixture, can the floating support only be galvanized by an ultra-enthusiastic (deluded) visionary figurehead on a road to Damascus?

I think recent unpredictable form, the fact its early season and there was little riding on the game and poor performances in prior games played apart as well as a tiny away following from Fylde
I would imagine the game against Chesterfield will be a bigger crowd if they were to put some sort of an offer on for that one we could definitely have a crack at the record National league attendance

There are no doubt lots of factors. Through performances we've not capitalised on building on support and whilst it is an excellent crowd for non-league (Bournmouth only manage a few more) the opportunities to build on some of the figures we've had have squandered.
My understanding that the offer was a reward to those that had stayed loyal to the club through the thick and thin of the past few months and as such possibly it was right not to promote it the Hardy way.
And it must bring comfort to the owners to know there is still a level of support for the club assuming that tickets weren't being thrown around to reluctant schoolkids.
