Spirits of many have been broken but they can get it back
We have been conditioned by the Yanks not to expect much |  |

I agree its a real issue.
At one time a 30,000 seat stadium seemed a certain next step.
Its something to really focus on cos losing support is a lot easier than building it. |  |

Council offered us a 25k stadium then downgraded it to 20k, had we had 25k we may still be in the Premier League as we would have had 25,00 every game (radical, yes but possible)
5k extra gate at say £20 a ticket = £100,000 per game extra revenue = enough to pay 3/4 quality players per week, that would have, IMO, kept us in the division.
On to the present, we do need a lift regarding players and results although we would have had close to 25k for one or two games already this season plus Leeds and Cardiff to come. | | | |

Wouldn't have made a difference I don't think.
We were already on a downward slide out of the Premier League when the sell outs (and or 1 or 2 of their hangers on) decided to sell the club to a hedge fund of 28 people, behind the backs of everyone else connected with the club. | |

Streaming. It’s a problem for most clubs outside the PL.
I’m guilty of it. I’ll go away two or three times a season. That used to be more and probably still would be if I couldn’t watch every game.
Plenty of people living in Swansea do the same for home games.
Not suggesting crowds wouldn’t pick up if we went on a winning run. | | | |

Spirit can come back.
A few decent wins and sensible defence will get people back | |

It’s a bit of both.
A few wins on the bounce will definitely increase the gate. At the same time, it’s so easy not to go now and some people are happy to watch at home. | | | |

£100,000 a game revenue over 19 home games is £1.9M or under £40K a week, our average players were on that so it would have made little difference. Obviously the spend would be higher per head but still not enough compared to TV place money. We are where we are today because of the owners not the size of the ground. |  | | |

You can't beat going to a game.
But the club should be doing something to get crowds in.
1. Cash on the day
2. Cheap family packages. £30 for 2+2.
3. Season ticket holders take a mate for a fiver
Do all of these for Ipswich and boost the gate and takings.
They would gain on food and drink sales as well. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Not if the new system of machine and collect fails to work. I don't usually order food or drink at the stadium but my mate used to before the new ordering system and cashless (chips for his boy etc). He no longer bothers since the new system was in palace.
A few weeks back, I did go to purchase food, this was during the game and no ques (i had had a few beers and needed to nip to the loo so thought I would purchase a chocolate bar). Faced with no ques I went up to the counter to place my order, to be informed that I had to order via the pin pad over there and then collect. End result, I did not bother to order, where as a cash transaction in that instance would have taken 30 seconds. | | | |

25k would have easily been achieved in the EPL |  |

I was the same. I wonder how much revenue they are losing from the likes of us. | | | |

100k extra per home game, then take tax out of it, then think that average EPL players get 40k per week.
If we said 25 home games per season (which we dont often get) then it's 2.5 million, minus tax 2 million, that's one average EPL player. | | | |

They are losing a lot of revenue at the kiosks.
The new machines are a pain. They usually run out of paper, so stop you ordering.
No cash is a pain.
Nothing ready at the kiosk is a pain.
Effing useless they are. | |
