It's a great offer we have on, and I think the club will now do more to market it to schools (sending players etc) but we aren't going to see insane attendances. I'd be happy breaking the 6k barrier and pushing the mid 6k figure with the offers

Remember the pay what you want game? 9 years ago TODAY over 7000 people came. If I remember rightly the SAG had severely reduced our capacity and that was a sell out for home fans (note the 74 from gateshead in a nearly 2000 seater stand, which also had its capacity cut)
Thats what you compare it to. We sold out. I'd wager that if they made 1 game £10 for adults and free u18 we'd see a huge increase in numbers.
The issue with this offer is don't you need to be with a full paying adult? You've got to get them in the door first.
I don't get why we don't look at the difference between our capacity and actual home attendance and then the "spare" tickets we send to schools for families. So say a child can apply for 1 adult ticket and 2 kids tickets. We put on a good display the kids will beg to come back. So next time we do a free kids offer the parent may be more willing to part with £20 to take them.
Only for a few games a season. People may moan that people are getting free tickets but surely having seats filled by people who wouldn't normally fill them is better than empty seats?

Pay what you want was a massive failure. Got a “full” ground but hardly took any gate money relative to a normal match (I paid the difference between my season ticket price and normal price because I wanted it to succeed.) The next match against Luton, almost a month later due to postponed games, got a just above average 3000 home fans. Probably not helped by a poor game against Gateshead.
Match day pricing and offers are a minefield and depends what you want from them.
16000 paying £2 (or £10) against 10000 paying £20. You might get more catering sales etc and a perhaps a better atmosphere.
The kids offer is probably one of a more long term strategy and is probably cost neutral. You lose some of the regular teenagers income but gain from adults (accompanying younger ones) paying their £20-24 and other income.

I’m pretty sure they chucked home fans in the North stand against Gateshead, and sectioned a corner off for Gateshead.
