I was really disappointed that I saw no real effort from the club to promote themselves after we won our first trophy in 80 years. Instead of thinking now was the time to go all out and really promote and market the club - let's face it success goes a long, long way in increasing your fan base - they thought that the press and the attention winning the league bought would do the marketing for them. I'm sure they actually saw it as a way of saving money of marketing.
A real mistake and a real missed opportunity. Off the back of that, the fact all clubs appear to have struggled to increase last seasons crowds and the apparent reduction in away support, I see keeping our crowds at last seasons levels as a decent achievement

yes true they could have pushed the LLS abit more than they did, think they took it around businesses in the area etc but not seen much of it.

next years seasons tickets have been poorly advertised dont you think? got mine in the post today but not much else been mentioned of them at games

also how low key was the announcement of huby?? one of the biggest signings we have made in a long time, suppose they dont want to rock the boat too much and cas too

Most things we do is low key and seems to be at minimum cost, almost a case of the club has given up trying to market itself.

I assure you the club has in no way given up on marketing! And they claim they have been 'reinvigorated' by fans passion to increase crowds!

You need look no further than the local Rag. The wendyball lot were getting three full pages of garbage almost every night before they'd even kicked a ball!

But then all they seem to cater for are halfwits, so it's no surprise that they get upwards of 15K every match.

yeh the examiner over does it on the football but thats this country for you, prob still be the same in they were in the conference!

15k, yeh prob on tickets issued not actually how many go! more 11k, wish we could get near that

Re: 2014- Average Attendance - 6335 : Tue Sep 16, 2014 12:45 pm  

town don't get 15k at all, they got over 17,000 on saturday, aided by 3,700 travelling middlesbrough fans and £10 tickets through the examiner.
they roughly get between 11-12,000, but announce the attendance's based on tickets distributed/sold.

still shows how much far we have to go to attract even 10,000, saying that though town pull a good percentage of support from all over kirklees and parts of wakefield too.
our fanbase seem to be predominately huddersfield based, with a small number from other area's of kirklees.

You're right, they also gave away a couple thousand kids tickets too!!

I'm presuming Town still give their crowds out on tickets issued rather than how many are in attendance ?

It says their game last night was watched by 11,000, my mate reckons it was no more than 8,000 actually in the ground. If they are doing this and we can presume that the crowd is actually a couple of thousand lower than what they are giving out it doesn't look all that bad when we think they get much bigger crowds, truth is they don't really.
