Sat-Tues home games always results in a low turn out on the Tuesday. Also United being on TV always seems to knock a few of the number.

The way Utd are playing with that buffoon in charge there should be 3000 at Barrow.

Burgess’s passing in the final third is something else.

That buffoon seems to have won one or two prestigious events over the course of his career.😊

True Elaine, but when he left Chelsea latest, that was his time there and then. I'm surprised Utd took him on. :x

Not point scoring but in the nineties it was the opposite!

We need to be more imagative something like get a discounted entrance for both games, discount on food or beer nowadays people need to be enticed trouble is our facilities are crap and we're treading water until we give people a decent stadium etc.

I always think that whenever anyone says Tuesday night crowds are always low. It's not that long ago at all that a Tuesday would be guaranteed a bigger crowd than a Saturday game. What changed? It always baffles me as I know there's a lot more football on TV these days but even when there isn't we seem to struggle for a decent crowd mid-week.

Agree also agree re facilities.. Those extras that came Saturday did they give them a voucher for a couple of quid off the next game. Have they got the beer tent up and running again

Yes let's keep letting in people for free or discount it's only a business after all
with wages and bills to pay.

to be fair all they needed to do is promote that they could bring the kids back for free on Tuesday. a discount that is already in place

If the club was geared up to take money off fans once in the ground you could afford to let people in for discount.. We don't control the catering, buying a drink takes a fair bit of effort.. We must have the lowest spend per head in the league

Is the beer tent being used?? I see more messages saying you can not get served in time in the crossbar so folk leave & sup in the soccer bar......we control the sale of booze but don’t seem to cater for those wanting drinks??

Not that much of a buffoon.

He's been trying to get away since the start of the season with bad results and bad feeling in the camp. He's done it at every club he's managed.

He will no doubt 'come to a mutual agreement' which will see him walk into the sunset with around £5M and join another team that gives him a similar amount to join them. ;)

No it’s not. No-one is allowed to moan about the facilities though, we’ve got a nice boiler

We’ve got the best boiler in the league. Just ask opposing fans. Everyone knows.
