My Name is Will Pownall I am Masters student at the University of Surrey and a huge football fan. For my dissertation topic I have chosen to analyse the factors which affect match attendance in English professional football and their relation to fan loyalty. I chose this topic because the club I support - Aldershot Town FC have struggled with attendance figures over the past few seasons. I know Aldershot are not alone in this struggle and my research aims to find out why fans are not attending games. I am asking football fans up and down the country to take a maximum of 5 minutes of their time to fill in a short questionnaire. I will be sending the results of my research to football clubs in England so by doing this you will be helping English football clubs improve the match day experience for fans! Please follow the link below to complete the questionnaire. http://freeonlinesurveys.com/s.asp?sid=klrhx4gpio5toz5513510 Thank you.
Done. We had attendances of 3k odd before we moved to a new stadium and then the attendances went up to 6-7k odd. they have tapered off over the last few years and oddly getting promoted only provided a tiny blip increase in attendance, mainly due to lack of decent signings and the resulting performance this tailed off again. We had a drop in season ticket sales in closed season but due to new manager and some possibly 'wow' signings the fans are excited about things and I hope there'll be a rise in attendance. Obviously this will only stay if performances match expectations - most fans seem to like passing football not hoofball! The ones to find out more from is probably Bradford, they offered a buy one season ticket get one free deal.
i know it is holiday time and very hot, but 1080 hardy souls watching a visit from a scottish premier league club is not encouraging. i hope our success on the pitch in league games may be matched by larger gates than last season. a lot of investment has gone into our squad and results are there to see. hoping to make the cheltenham game on 11/10.
Atcham, I think our attendances will pick up in League 2 as I think we will see some more attacking football and end to end games than we have done for the last two seasons where we were mostly on the back foot in League 1.
