This all costs money but a fraction of the cost of the number one thing to improve attendances....results and sustained "success", challenging for promotion or staying in the premier league. We have seen how our crowd swells during such times and how quickly it fades afterwards.
Bristol City used to offer a package to local schools and clubs where the kids could have an hour long coaching session near the stadium with a Bristol City academy coach then go to the match. Cost about £5 per kid and £10 for parents I think. Don't know if they still do it.
Anything we can do to get kids supporting their local team has got to be good.
