Another thing to consider is that we are starting to attract more juniors to holker street and many of them play junior football on a Saturday these are our future fans and it could be they have to choose between playing themselves or watching barrow,if you say a parent goes with them the saving of some electricity might be outweighed,also bit rich of Bradford to be moaning about it given they get 17 thousand crowd and they can afford an ex premier league manager and a shed load of signings in the summer which were not cheap,

Some 5th tier sides charge more than that to be honest. I guess realistically at lower levels the gate receipts form a greater percentage of income.
