The best thing the board could and should do at the minute to improve attendances is cut prices and attack every local school to get kids and parents in. They should organise a fun day and get tons of activities outside the ground to make it a family day centred about a match. Thats just one easy idea what wouldnt hurt.
Cutting prices has been tried in seasons past, but it is a futile exercise. The gate sees almost no increase and what little increase there might be is irrelevant because of the hit the club have taken financially from cheaper tickets. It simply doesn't work.
As for the other things you suggest, if you were at the fans forum or if you watched it on YouTube, you would know that getting the community more involved is one of Nicholson's and the board's main objectives. He and the board mentioned specifically of giving away free tickets to local schools, you can also find articles on the official site that talk about the visit of two schools to Plainmoor of late.

There are more than two schools in Torquay. Ill use another word - galvanise. What are the board going to do to galvanise everyone and get them singing from a same hymn sheet. The communication over the past 15 weeks has been sketchy, not transparent and unclear at the best of times.
gates of much more than 1800 are needed to break even. i know that for 100% certainty.

This season is 15 games in so being 5th position means near on nothing at all! We may be struggling now but we have so much more history and are historically a much bigger club. To us they should be minnows. Have some bloody ambition and passion instead of resigning to being a smaller club than Dover Athletic!
Oh good, I'm glad league positions don't mean anything at the moment. Presumably you're not worried about where we are in the league, then, by your own logic?
Yes, we are historically a bigger club. Means the sum total of eff all when it comes to 90 minutes on a Tuesday night though, doesn't it? I'm sure Stockport, in the conference North, could teach you a few lessons on humility.

Actually, the communication from the club has been broadly consistent, they've basically said the same things since July and haven't changed their story at all. It's been made muddy by fools like you who come on spouting rubbish with whatever ulterior motive you may have, making fans question the validity with no evidence in fact.
The fact you talk about reducing ticket prices shows that you are either a fool or definitely want the club to fail, as reducing our prices is the quickest way to lose income - been proved countless times over the last 30 years.
If you look at this board, practically everyone IS singing from the same hymn sheet. That's why you, yells, mushroom and the new wave of s*it stirrers have met with nothing but derision and argument - people who actually support the club are all pulling in the same direction; its you that's swimming against the tide.

George has done a lot of online research & has discovered that there are more than two schools in Torquay ! Well done George !
It sounds like he thinks that they should all have been invited round together; I can assure him that our groundsman would have been extremely unhappy about so many children on the pitch at the same time , & might even have resigned over the issue. Re-establishing community links will take a while, but the Club & the FITC have made a good start. One school at a time, eh George ?

Firstly no need for the abuse please. You can make a point without the personal insults

Lets wait for the January sales WHAT!
Football is a Result Business its Assets are the Players in this League and above. The Assets have been stripped already, time NOW to invest in New Players and put something back in. Managing failure is not an option.

Well laugh out loud indeed. Anyone else think George and Yells are the same poster, strangely similar writing styles, and interesting timing. hmmm.

Now Now Scott stop mischief making!
Asset Stripping relates to quality players already gone and no longer able to support us staying in this League. Now that's a big Wow!
INVEST IN PLAYERS OR WE WILL BE RELEGATED
