well, clearly somebody didn't get an easter egg!
I think the point on getting kids and families through the gate has already been raised. But in a less weirdly aggressive manner.
It's been an interesting exercise on the games where the free tickets have been pushed. It's definitely improved the buzz around the place to have 600, 700, 800 in the Park. It's also then caused revenues to rise, because all those freebie people have bought a programme, or chips, or a badge or a wristband.
I think it works, I'd be happy to see it expanded to more games. In the longer run, it also de mystifies the place for people. They now know it's a friendly environment and over time a small per centage will return, hopefully as payers. Which has to be a good thing.
All for it myself. But then I got an easter egg, so perhaps I'm just in a good mood.

It’s fascinating that valleyblue seems to know the population of Barry and also their opinion of Dave and Gav.
Kids coming through the gate with free tickets is a community effort. Them kids always add to revenue inside the ground which helps the club but that’s not the reason they’ve been given free tickets. It’s called a club having a bit of class and forward thinking. Meanwhile in Gwent - kids are barred from grounds because of illicit acts and nudity. It pays to keep your clothes on.

The point being made was don't shout about having the highest gates when half of them are freebies.
All for letting in the kids for nothing and more clubs should follow suit.

The point being made was don't shout about having the highest gates when half of them are freebies. All for letting in the kids for nothing and more clubs should follow suit. I think it was only vogdog that was super chuffed with the attendance figures, and if people are going to get wound up by his posts they need to have a word with themselves. Arguing over who's got the biggest anything in this pyramid is the footy equivalent of two bald guys in a comb based fracas. The situation now, compared with everything ever before year zero (2013) is so much better. Not perfect, not best in class. Just unrecognisably better. The spirit in the men's first team. The mini teams of all ages, women's and girls football, representation at Wales level, disability access football. Just plain getting the admin right. Inviting links with the community. Constructive debate and informed decision making. No, it's not Barcelona, but it's also not Barry 2012. For that, I'll gladly give thanks and be happy and broadly positive. We need 1 point from three games to be in the mix for a shot at a european spot. Now that would be some crazy icing on the 2017/18 cake. ----- But for all that hot air, are we quietly missing the late great escape of Carmarthen. 5 points behind Aber, they have to play Aber. It could be a significant shift of WPL logistics to get another southern team at the top table. I'm hoping for a final game decider for Carmarthen, at Barry, under Friday night floodlights. Would be good to see and hear a few of their support still with something to play for on the last game, 'cos they looked dead n buried a while back. If they do pull it off and stay up, follow that a year later with a Havvy'west or Port Talbot or whoever and we could see shifts in the balance of power. It would be interesting to see how 'they' would cope with needing to organise 4 or 5 or 6 trips south rather than just 2 or 3. |

I think the general consensus is that Aber would be in the Welsh league if relegated
and would certainly be odds on favourites to win the last Welsh league title next
season as would Carmarthen.

Bit of a hypocrite thread here:-
Who has chosen and played more seasons in the English league system & Cups, Barry or the two that amalgamated into TNS?
Do you apply the same scorn upon ''outsiders'' playing in the English system?
Which club did TNS usurp and who's example did they choose not to follow when becoming what they are today?
And which club have done the most to try and raise Wales coefficient for UEFA tournaments therefore allowing all Welsh qualifiers to benefit?
And what is wrong with Universities many whom will have a larger number of people of sporting age than most towns in Wales a place in the system if their achievements warrant it?
And as you like to use population to willy-wave about support;
Which is better 313 avg for a club in a town(quite a way out of with poor transport links) of 17,105 or
One within a town of 51,000 avg attendance 591?

Are you for real ? You’re obviously lacking any sense of humour and void of tongue in cheek innuendos. There’s lots worse going on in this awful twisted world that we should be concerned about when it comes to kids viewing my posts. You sound like the type that puts a “ beware wet surface” sign up in your own bathroom after you’ve used the shower.

A weekend off for Carmarthen where they probably would have liked to keep up the momentum of chasing down Aber.
A point for Barry sees them confirmed in the euro play off spot. But that point will be hard earned against a Prestatyn side 'free to express themselves'. Though if they express themselves anything like they did last weekend, the physios will have a busy day as will the ref's cards. Dirty little relegated team.

Prestatyn game called off again today.
A fourth attempt at playing this fixture will need to be arranged. Possibly, hopefully, at a venue capable of hosting a football match in Wales.
Bye bye Prestatyn, it's been emotional.

They were never amusing you are a sad, boring twat with a strange fantasy you should stop visiting those sites and get out a bit more. |

Not everyone is gifted a 4g pitch. Not every team waited for the opposition to arrive from South Wales before realising they couldn't stage the match and having no alternative arrangements. Other teams in the same area saw the weather and switched their matches in advance, to grounds with 3G facilities to make sure the game went ahead. At this close to the end of a season, a third postponement was always going to be a risk and a major pain in the arse. Plenty of places up there the game could have been played, and proof that other teams planned ahead and switched venues. From their awful cynical style of 'play' last week plus another postponement, I find it difficult to have faith in Prestatyn's ability to hold the game before the official end of the season. Which is 3 weekends away, with games already scheduled for all 3 weekends. So what's the option? Trust Prestatyn to organise a midweek fixture at short notice? Not everyone is gifted 3G. Not everyone is gifted common sense and an ability to plan and organise. |
