All of the plus things already mentioned will help, winning, pricing etc. I also think that Bradford's model of #onefournine is a model worth examining by the Blues management next season.
For those that don't know what I'm on about, this is an extract from one of their web pages.:
'Earlier in the summer, Bradford City reaffirmed their commitment to fight against rising tickets for their fans by confirming their impressively low season ticket prices for the upcoming season. In their bid to bring the most value to their fans, the Bantams confirmed that supporters over the age of 16 will pay only £149 for a season ticket. It’s an incredibly brave and admirable initiative from the League One side, whose preference to fill the stadium instead of their own pockets shows that there are still clubs trying to run the club in the right way.'
City clocked up 18,000 ST sales before the scheme closed.
This has been discussed on here before and I think the club have even looked at similar schemes. But we really only have room for 7,500 season ticket holders (you have to leave some seats free for individual matches and we would not sell Season tickets in any of the North Bank, North West Corner or X Block). So this sort of scheme will never happen at Roots Hall.
Another thing to note about the Bradford City special offer is that Under 16 season tickets were £99. Southend's under 16 season tickets were £75 !!!!
