Low crowd today

Might as well start the topic now, save people posting their dismay on the matchday thread about how surprised and aghast they were about the size of the crowd for an Inverness CT home game.

 

Terrible isn't it, where have they all gone, must be the merger and with County doing so well and the referendum and our poor form and John Hughes and the pies and the car park and well just anything really. :moon02:

The car park does not help!

 

Go in there and it can take an hour or more to get out. Your feet get soaked in the large puddles and some of the attendants are less than helpful.

Other than that there no real reason for such low crowds. - The football is good and the pies are edible.

The crowd was low some 2.7 thousand if I heard correctly. Not many Perth travelling supporters and big gaps in the home ranks too.
As to why? I couldn't think of a single reasonable excuse never mind lots of the unreasonable ones that are being rolled out. We can not survive like this and our squad will suffer long term.
The few away fans out-sung our home support for large parts of the game too.

Poor us, our crowds are tiny. Wah wah wah. I wish people would stop starting pointless threads about this. 2700 is better than filling a stadium with 30k knuckle-dragging degenerates like certain other clubs.

There are people out there with no shoes on their feet.

They might be homeless or living in overcrowded conditions.

They might have limited education, a thing that we often take for granted.

They might have limited access to clean water and their electricity gets cut off for no reason.

Even their local football team is all alone at the foot of the SPFL without a single point.

When things are good spare a thought for those less fortunate in Dingwall.

OOPS!

 

Pump fake gives us a barrage from his pump action shotgun.

 

Club perhaps should re-examine their  promo tactics. North American sports outfits have  many ways of entertaining the fans and building up interest and excitement pre match. I do like the Pom-Pom girls, myself. Not only are they very easy on the eye but they are also very athletic and always smiling as if they are enjoying themselves. I do understand that money is probably very tight but these things could be arranged perhaps through negotiations with some of he local businesses.

 

And the schools could be encouraged to have their athletic activities put on show  on match day for maybe  half hour or so. I think that  doing virtually nothing to provide some kind of different entertainment for the public/fans is not a good, progressive approach to encouraging them to show up. It's all about providing an afternoon out for the family and it should be some kind of  complete entertainment package we offer fans to come along. Even performing dogs jumping over  boards is  better than trying.

 

Not being in Inverness I am not knowledgeable as to what is being offered on match day but, the way things are going, it does appear as if the footie alone may not be quite what the Doctor ordered in this day and age.

 

Involving youngsters in some competitive way is a sure-fire way of engaging the parents also.

I am not suggesting harsh, competitive events but events where all kinds of people can participate such as the disabled, the blind even  and, of course, the mentally disabled for whom such events would be mentally and emotionally stimulating. 

 

I am willing to start this off by sending the club $100 , or about 60 pounds, to assist in setting up a Fund for this purpose, but I strongly feel that the schools should be contacted  and asked for their co-operation.

Would anyone else be interested in making a contribution because then we could set up a fund.?

And maybe the parents could then gradually be pulled in with a small regular contribution once the benefits for the community can be seen  to be popular.?

 

:cheer01:

:crazy: Sneckboy..
 
it's going to come from my wife's kitty--you know, the one she uses for buying makeup, ANOTHER new dress, new shoes to go along with the exiting fifty in her shoe closet, etc. The Rockies answer to Emelda Marko. Ha! :laugh:

 

She is still working , I'm not,  so I have had to swallow hard and pray that she won't find out really quickly. :crazy:

 

Mind you it's fifty fifty really isn't it that someone will take me up on this and make the effort required to bring something like this to fruition? ....... :clapoverhead:

We all know due to me working i have not been attending games, which is why the numbers are on the decease but at Aberdeen away i'm there so numbers will be up because the prodigal son returns to football!

 

A tongue in cheek comment that was very easy to understand, but here is a translation for you if you need it....

You never know till you try. Alex. :lol:

 

We could try spandex though and that would mean they would have to jump higher and  gyrate more quickly to keep warm -- but  it would be a gyrate show wouldn't it??

 

I  could tell them to bring their batons and the boys on the team could come out and  do some burlings to match their twirlings.

 

Fan-tastic! :clapoverhead:
