I’d be more shocked if she actually got a decision correct. By far the worst ref 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I would probably say that Edinburgh having bean beaten at home by what was generally considered the 2nd weakest team in the league and missing josh probs had more affect on attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I only went the once last year to follow Leicester and it was a lovely summer night, there was quite a contingent of travelling Lions and the crowd was probably double what it was last night. I can't imagine that there were that many Lions there so I'm guessing the others are casuals... and I doubt very much that they'd be paying for a stream Edited April 27, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Oxford certainly know how to keep Bomber from doing his stuff,slick track and grade before each of his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the home club receive a payment from BSN for the possible affect on attendance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought their admission policy is more of an issue imo, esp with the elder generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 OK, so it's not a surcharge on Seniors... but you're "encouraged" to pre-book meaning that there may be a certain demographic that are less likely to do this. Strange one as usually it's the other way around and you get surcharged for booking online. No doubt this has been done to death elsewhere on the forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not sure you can even pay by cash! There are no reductions for OAPs they pay the adult price, accompanied U16s are free entry, on the day ticket price is higher, surprisingly you will find at many events that on the day prices are higher than the advance ticket price. It's been done to death on here and social media since march last year when ticketing arrangements were announced that you cannot pay cash on the gate. If i'm honest i think there should be a reduction for OAPs, but it's not my business. Also surely if an OAP has no internet etc and cannot buy online, they could ask a family member or friend to buy them one and give them the cash, i did it lots of times last season for people i know in that predicament.

Bojangles Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) There was also a certain football match taking place last night. I normally go with four people, but I was the only one who attended as all the others wanted to watch Man City v Arsenal instead.

HGould Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I think Edinburgh have the best idea with some sort of radius block to encourage people living locally to attend. Teams who rent Stadia probably do better as they may lose 2 or 3 in a family for cost of one stream. Teams who make money from food and drink I'd suggests are idiots to stream as they lose that income stream. You never know how many you are losing until you stop it for certain matches. My understanding is that for most matches all BSN net profit is pooled and shared equally amongst CL teams. I was told though that contrary to expectations of most Clubs that last year's Play Off money was shared only amongst play off participants at each stage. That's hearsay though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree though, it would be intriguing to know the viewing numbers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
