Can’t agree with you on this Bix, a scheme to help football come more affordable for families in this area is exactly what is needed and I applaud the club for finally bringing in this scheme.
I know a couple of families who are Torquay supporters where the kids have to take it in turns to go because the can’t all afford to go to each game, and despite what they tell us on the T.V the recession is getting worse not better, Mrs Forever was made redundant 3 weeks ago after the company she worked for 22 years went bust due a number of companies going bust owing them money, even Tescos Newton Abbot have just announced cut backs and possible redundancies.
I was made redundant 5 years ago pretty much at the start of this crisis after 21 years working for a company that had been running since 1947 went under, I was soon offered two jobs and decided to take a job with Sainsburys, and whilst they are not planning cut backs they are not taking on either.
The point is no body is immune to this recession, least of all football clubs, I think a small part of low attendances is down to apathy, however there is no doubt a large part of it is down to the ever growing number of unemployed who are being forced into part-time or low paid jobs and families who are seeing their incomes squeezed more and more, so I am for these promotions just like to them advertised better.
