Is it Covid worries, people getting used to watching on TV, the knowledge that the Championship is getting as predictable as the PL or all 3?
i have been concerned about the football league as in the product and the value for a while
going to games is not straightforward, i considered the Coventry game but it took a long time for them to put information up and eventually tickets for sale, even then you can't just click and buy you have a membership thing, basically alot of information input just for a ticket, then they have a train station right outside the ground but serious disruptions due to track maintenance and the train tickets is also complex, you have to be careful planning your journey, basically was much easier to watch on the telly, also the coventry stadium is built in one of the most depressing, oppressive and run down areas with an unfriendly feeling about it, lack of boozers and broken communities, yet they will probably be more enthusiastic and potentially supported than many others
regards our games, if that Bradford game had been a tenner on the gate i would of gone, the ticket office experience is protracted and tedious
with Forest i've ticked all the boxes now for every update, offers, partners, the lot but suffice to say, since the potential of moving the streaming and everything in house, i haven't had any emails from the club, besides a receipt for me £5.99 a month audio subscription
the club seems to disappear during close season, the marketing department needs a makeover, there will be some games that can be streamed but very little effort and for me no information, i'd be interested to see the odd academy game or womens game or cup replay or summat, i don't think they have made enough effort
the post match coverage is very good, i can see all the games now or extended or reduced highlights and the 'other angle' stuff, but none of this generates any revenue and it's difficult to watch a loss
another niggle i have is the refereeing, that challenge on mighten from behind v Cov, that was gbh imo, ok he only meant to flatten the lad and the stamp on his ankle was accidental, but the game favours cheating and negativity imo
