Absolutely Pooch. I noticed that and thought of you. One disappointing home defeat, night match in March against a side too far away to bring a big following ...... showed our real level of support.
Your post gave me what is probably a stupid idea, but I'll run it by you anyway. Please pick holes in it. It may even be happening for all I know:-
There must be other Spires like me, who can never, or almost never, attend a home game. But it doesn't mean they don't care, or feel involved in the club's fortunes. So I was thinking I could probably afford a season ticket, but I just couldn't get there. How many other people are there like me who might be able to support the club to that level?
If there were a few of us, the club could raffle those seats at perhaps £1 apiece for every home game - effectively providing a double income stream on the seats involved, perhaps increasing interest in the club and enabling people a chance for people, who could barely afford the entry price, to get to a game. Maybe it could be called something like the Absent Spires.
It's probably a stupid idea. I'm full of them. (Yes Dancing I know, Darikwa's one ..... you wait and see! ..... who was it told you Talbot would be back? I have to be right occasionally.)
