but most were because of the freebies, we need to keep them coming, but i doubt many will want to pay every game

I know a couple of the lads who are given freebies through their employer. It's galling to see them turn up only for the freebie matches and not bother when they have to get their hand in their pocket. It's not as if they're skint. But that's the downside of not being in a footballing hotbed area. Cambridge United are working wonders with their initiatives to bring people to the games and capture them young. Hopefully Thursday evening can be the start of a similar campaign at Histon, even if we start small.

It's not like our attendances haven't improved though, cos 5-6 years ago they were around the 150 mark.

Obviously we need even more and i'm the first to admit that but we have to think where they are going to come from because we have appealed to Histon as much as we can really, it's time we started looking at neighbouring villages/towns/cities.
