My two sons are 21 and 23 and both Utd fans and both brought up in Blackpool.
They and 3 mates (who all support other teams) have today bought 5 season tickets together in North Stand to go and cheer on the Tangerines having really enjoyed the play off semis and finals and getting caught up with it all.
I know some of the auld fuddies on here would probably prefer they hadn't bought tickets, think they’re plastics etc etc zzzzzz......but it’s an interesting tiny example of how crowds/support can grow rapidly if a club has a spell of success and prices are reasonable and so forth. I know Simon Sadler and the people he has working from him will be doing their best to capitalise on this.
I can see 10,000 season tickets with a bit of advertising, a bit of buzz around new signings and the icing on the cake will be if England do well at the Euros as that always boost football attendances the following season.
Then it’s a question of trying to keep these new less devout “secondary” fans going forwards and the best guarantee of that is a sense of belonging and decent Football
