Well looking at the results from the other matches and our luck of the draw I imagine we'll be looking forward to a trip to Leyton Orient in round 4.

Great result, well played lads!

Fair enough - from my mind a trained professional in marketing would cost around £40k per year and so would have to increase attendance by roughly 100 people a home game just to break even on their salary. If the money was available I'd sooner have a player.
I'm not sure how many other league 2 clubs employ a marketing professional ? (genuine question)

Plymouth gull - what should the board be doing specifically?

Echo the above - first class Fonda.

There was a comment above about the need to offer incentives for fans. Why? Without fans there is no need for the club. Affordability is an issue for the fans but the same is true of the club.
Any drop in gate prices to attempt to attract more fans will lose the club money - £3 makes no difference to the ambivalent. Anything larger and there has to be a serious increase in attendance - drop prices 20% and attendance has to increase 25% to break even. 33% and 50% more people are needed.
Unfortunately any progression and achievement in recent years has never guaranteed enough interest in the bay to support it. Check out our attendances at the start of our League 1 campaign.
Best start EVER this season and how many turned up for our home match after 4 wins in a row and top of the table?
