Filling football grounds

[stargazer1962]

I see Newcastle United no less are offering an additional FREE half season ticket to season ticket holders to help fill the stadium.

Clubs like Arsenal show the stadium three quarters full where clearly tv show the stadium at best half full. No matter all the hype from Sky and the press, no matter all the money in the game, people are finally voting with their feet! Will anyone take any notice, doubt it!

I think the interesting part of your post is the start i.e. Newcastle giving away half season tickets to fill the stadium.
Not sure how they decide who would get them but that's a great idea if they feel that they wont sell them (which I guess they wont with their current position).
I'm sure Albion's half season tickets are either on sale or due to be and I wonder if these will be snapped up now we are doing so well?
I don't think they will be snapped up as the saving is probably not great and equal to 1-2 games which with rescheduled games due to TV means you may as well pay for the games you want instead.

The price of Tickets for Albion are reasonable if you ask me. I'm sure 15 to 20 years ago I was paying £15+.
