And that is where the growth of the fan base is essential. There are many pre merger adults in Sneck. And I don't just mean the usual suspects. I mean the ones who were supporting the "bigger teams" whilst ICT was "growing". I know quite a few who went down to the a Dump on a fairly regular basis but now that ICT are on a level footing they have all turned back to their usual loves. Plus it is more expensive now to watch ICT from their perspectives. And as Dougal has oft points out there are a lot of incomers and they will have followed their own teams for years and will not just become avid ICT fans overnight. They will be the "watchers" and probably more apt to watch on the box. And all of the above will have offspring who they will probably be desperately influencing to follow Dads team. They and the children of Sneck are the ones that we have to attract. I feel that the numbers are slowly going and probably affected by some of the crazy non child friendly kick off times. There will always be the fight against the Old Filth for allegiances. Giving them cut price or free tickets may not give us any finances in the short term but will eventually. So as I have alluded to before it is the yoof that are our future. That will take time. And the last few times that I have been at the Dump it has been the Family Section that have started off any singing. But they will age and move along the sections. And parents must be encouraged when they see role models such as my good self.
