I'm a ST holder and I wouldn't mind people getting tickets for Free/£1/£5 whatever the club and fellow ST holders feel comfortable with. If it meant it was our supporters filling the stadium (including parts of the North Stand) instead of getting the money from away fans and giving them the added advantage of a big following, I'm sure people would agree.
It was free to get in against Palace.We didn't win and it wasn't full.
The crowd helped against Palace, the crowd helped against Crewe. There are positive examples.

Remember the Leicester game couple of seasons back when we needed something from the game? That was an offer game, big crowd...
I wasn't at the Crewe, Southend or Notts County games, so I'll have to take your word for it William. Although, measuring "atmosphere" seems to be more of an art than a science.I tend to deal in the facts. And the facts suggest no causality exists between our attendances and our results, and as such, the idea of making it free to get in on Saturday would have no discernible influence upon the outcome of the game - which I assume it the motivating factor behind the idea.It would therefore be prudent to maxmise income via gate receipts and hope the result goes our way.

Although interestingly, the facts indicate that when we have a large numerical advantage of home fans over away fans in big games, we DO have a good record.I guess there are "facts" and "facts".

That was an offer game, big crowd...Another one we didn't win.We didn't lose, either.We went into that game knowing a point would guarantee our survival. We got that point - job done, even though Sheff Utd didn't win so we could still have lost and survived.I don't care if it is just me and my dad and a few journalists there on saturday, as long as we get the result we need, or if not, do our damnedest to get it.
