500 free tickets at the ricoh wouldn't amount to 25% of the gate though would it.
There are still the same amount of staff so why does it matter what the gate is? When we played crewe the free ones would have been a low % of the attendance?
Employing several thousand people in Northampton, wonder what company that is ?:thinking about: Good of them to allow a random employee to ask the whole workforce, about a trivial non work related question. They seem a very relaxed company have they got any vacancies?

I heard ACL gave out 'thousands' of free tickets for the legends game.
We could do this all day.
Not really, they would be giving them out to the same people, staff, players families, sponsors etc.
How are they getting these tickets? Are fisher and waggot roaming the streets of Northampton handing them out?
The actual cost is the same.
But let's put another angle on it ...
What if sisu actually BUYS the tickets and hands them out for free (assuming they do)? Wouldn't it achieve a few positives:
1) The club secure its minimum budgeted income against the FFP calculation
2) A few 'locals' may actually want to come back for more entertaining football (I did say FEW) which could lead to a small Northamton following while we're there.
3) More bums in the seats provides a better atsmophere
He's the CEO.
Whoosh.
What have ACL got to do with this?
Several people from here and Northampton have been on here saying they've been offering free tickets to locals. It's hardly contraversial.
You do make some shit up.
....and with more bums on seats, some of the stayaways may decide to drop their protest as other people seem to have. Result - better appearance, and more paying customers.
I think it's called marketing or something like that.
exactly. Its a way to try to stem the protest.
But they were giving tickets away at the ricoh too?

I understand that, although this thread i believe was about tickets being given away outside of players families etc.. The motive however may be very different, and is certainly something i would do in Fisher's shoes to try to get people to believe the boycott was beginning to break.

Again that is if it is true, are they just standing in the street handing them out?
Surely the only way to make people change their mind is results?
They have always given tickets away 'outside of players familes'. Last season free tickets were easy to come by. People used to wander around Coventry University just handing them out. Hundreds of the free tickets available would go unused every week - in other words you couldn't give tickets away - in Coventry. The idea there are hordes of Northampton resisdents jumping up and down screaming for their free tickets to watch Coventry CIty is just a nonsense.
Again, it's very sad if you think that staying away is about results.
Not trying to be arsey, but have you ever taken a moral stand on something? It's fine if not and I can appreciate that, but I don't understand why you don't think that for many their football club is as close to religion as it gets and engenders the same feelings.
If they are doing what's always been done in Cov with respect to free schools tickets, in Northampton, would you agree with it?
I don't personally think it is about results, hence I used to sit in the rain watching us lose. It obviously does help a lot of city fans which is why we sold out against Crewe. It is common sense that more people will go if we are winning.
Just had my m8 on the phone who lives in Northampton with his family & tells me he knows a lot of NTFC fans have been offered free tickets to Sixfields on Sunday for CCFC - Preston...makes sense tbh I've heard since day before Bristol game fisher & co were doing this...
Talk about DESPERATE !!!
Real moral people don't attend Sixfields.
Real moral people don't attend Sixfields.
What about fake moral people?
He works with y.e tpeople and he put out a message on the tannoy asking if anyone had got a free ticket and nobody responded.
My mate works in Northampton and he said it wasnt mentioned on the tannoy
Is that any better?
