Is it me or is it stupid to think that fans could send their tickets back and say get a voucher for money of their next ticket say 10% and that the team could sell the tickets that are sent back again and the money go to charity, there are so many ways to attract fans but teams are just so inept at doing it.

This season Wigan raised their ticket prices which was stupid to start of with as we are only a small town, so they were shocked when attendances went down they have lowered prices but why don't they go round the schools and give away tickets to kids but they have to bring an adult with them that way a father and son can go to a game and only have to pay for one ticket.

What teams don't realise is they lose money on empty seats not only with the cost of a ticket but also they lose probably the price of a programme and maybe a drink and something to eat.
