Counter point....

Having unlimited casual tickets available could put pressure on the ST demand for those who are more casual about coming.
You see some of the TV games in the champs with the bigger stadiums and they are very empty.

The reason our attendance has held steady for a number of years is supply and demand.
It can be tricky to get tickets for bigger games which makes more people plump for a ST. to guarantee seats even if they might not want to go to all the games.
Like most clubs we have ST churn.
Which means that 5-10% of people do not renew.
The tight demand keeps this number up.

        👍 I was just using it as a basic sense check of something that didn’t seem right (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 5, 21:09:04
        
        This is no place for sense. Away with you. (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 5, 21:11:02
        
        Im finding a lot of errors on that site....one example (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 21:03:29
  - we stand corrected then (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, May 5, 20:39:25

  - Leeds and Ipswich have the most fair weather fans. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 20:33:00
- There has been a genuine cost of living problem. Things have to give sometimes. (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, May 5, 20:26:44
- Would probably be worse with a bigger ground...... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 20:22:04
  - Yes (NCFC) - Chair_of_the_Bored, May 5, 21:24:12
    - The only reason a club would consider ground expansion is..... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 21:30:58
      - A few notes here (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:16:26
        
        Agreed (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 5, 23:28:56
        
        Not to mention that... (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:20:08
      - Sorry (NCFC) - Chair_of_the_Bored, May 5, 21:48:38
        
        "Aging" fan base is also the loyal fan base (as much as some moan). More importantly, the (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:23:53
        
        Average would increase with a bigger standard deviation (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 5, 23:23:03
        
        Now this is something I can get on board with. (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 23:32:18
        
        Again... WHY would any club increase capacity if...... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 23:21:34
        
        The business case is for the club to work out. However (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:39:18
        
        Norfolk's population (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 5, 22:08:38
        
        Who cares about watching our reserves in the FA Cup these days? (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:22:22
        
        So the club should run the risk of fiscal ruin (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 6, 00:35:24
        
        I agree on cost, but it would be good if more casual tickets were available (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 5, 23:21:00
        
        Counter point.... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 23:28:39
  - Show every game on an app for £10 or a home/away season ticket (NCFC) - littletinyphil, May 5, 21:18:23
    - Lol. No that income is priceless. Far less overhead, and promoted “growth” which is what (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:28:21
      - How do you know what they’ll be looking for? (NCFC) - littletinyphil, May 5, 23:37:17
      - The honest truth is....... (NCFC) - usacanary, May 5, 23:36:41
        
        But the fan engagement it creates generates shirt sales etc, and that does matter (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 5, 23:42:02
- inflation , energy costs etc (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, May 5, 20:07:11
