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.
Good luck with your paper, you won't find anything helpful here though, we sell out every match and have over 2000 on the season ticket waiting list!
Just completed it mate. All I'll say after completing it is no matter how many balls we pump in the air, or how many goals we lose by, or how many games we've lost that season, or whether it pours down with rain, I'll still be there as often as I can. We don't go to football to be entertained - not the most loyal of fans - we go there knowing 100% that we will suffer. I know a massive Aldershot fan by the way - he's got a ton of away matches lined up already over the summer, proving that most keep going no matter how **** their team is! Having said that I've already got money on Brett Williams to be the Conference's top scorer next season!
Our declining away attendances last season can be pinned on one factor - chris hughton. Hope that helps.
Well ideally we do, but despite the rubbish being served last year did you actually consciously miss a match because of the bad football alone?
