I am going to leave out the aside back and forth revenue chat as it is outwith the full realms of my understanding albeit an interesting read.
However @Jordanhill Jag (and I haven’t agreed much with him in the past) has it spot on with small details like the toilets, facilities etc being of importance. To use an example :- me and my lad attended all home games together then he started stepping out with new girlfriend of non football persuasion. Takes her to a few games and after seeing what the toilets are like, catering etc she is like no thanks not for me. End result being she no longer will attend and has most Saturdays taken him away from Firhill too as they are happier spending their dosh at cinema,bowling,pub etc where they can enjoy a better level of comfort. Knock on effect is £44 per home game lost outwith other matchday spends (50-50,programme,food etc) That is obv a tiny sample but that adds up over a season.
The club needs to start thinking outside the box with smaller details. A lot of new students arrive every year from all over the Uk to just down the road. Do we market them, put forward the non OF perspective, offer better facilities, catering etc. Maybe game packages? Have deals with women’s team cause at end of the day it’s all about getting Partick Thistle out there.
