I don't think a midweek fixture season ticket for 3 or 4 games is going to happen. A 5 or 10 game "Any game" ticket would be better and would be a good seller I think. You could even use the 10 tickets for one match with mates.

Going off topic a bit, but could / should also be looking to do deals with the corporate hospitality. Table of 10 for price of 9 etc or some sort of loyalty card for using the Crossbar. As for the pies- selling them from the Crossbar on match day Pie and a pint offers. Should be able to buy basic matchday grub in the Crossbar. Or at least a give it a trial.

Couldn't even give them away at the last home game against Wrexham

Were they delish pies? If not, that's why

Maybe it was the set up. It has to be given time to work. Pies in the ground would sell.

All depends if current food outlet would risk them?

Why would we keep the current food outlet?

That's the problem we try things once and if for one reason or another they don't work then they are ditched as a failure!

There were factors as to why people didn't attend to share a pie and pint with our owner, like the late notice given! Many supporters had arranged to meet elsewhere weeks in advance and also quite a few on the corporate event as it was the last game of the season.

They were Delish pies and very nice they were too, I had one after arriving around three as was on nights.

It was a fantastic gesture by Paul Casson and with a bit more planning/notification I'm sure they would of all gone and the uptake for the free pints would of been far greater also.

I am prevented from attending most fixtures due to a regular weekend engagement. As I have proposed on both this blog and the Barrow AFC Facebook wall, a solution for me and the many other supporters in this scenario would be a season ticket exclusively for midweek matches. To date I have received no acknowledgement of this suggestion from club officials, and I feel that long standing regulars at Barrow AFC are being ignored.

What kind of discount would you want on the say 5 mid week games that we have guaranteed throughout the season - I can't think of a single club that does one of these types or tickets it's ridiculous

What annoys me is getting a new commercial manager means we started from scratch again - this doesn't happen in the real world

Agree with mark too we try things half heartedly then say oh it doesn't work - is the bar open tomorrow for the play off final - doubt it ! Is it open for England games - doubt it ! Will the shirts be launched at an event ?

I have to agree Charlie, it'd be nice to please everyone but sometimes it simply can't happen.

I don't think the bar is open tomorrow, it'd be good if it was though.

Regarding the England games, I'll pass that onto Emma (despite what people think, she really doesn't read this forum much)

The shirt launch is being looked into, I've asked about that enough times myself - again, I'll bring this up with Emma.

Will the kit launch be in Dubai this year? To help the club become a pillar in the greater Furness Community?

Yes

One can only hope so.

Should help to widen knowledge of BAFC and promote the town and area.

Well surely she should be? Despite its faults this forum is one of the main platforms of discission for a large section of her customer base and as such should be seen as a useful source of information surely.
