From the official website:

"Kettering Town manager Mark Cooper has urged more fans to come and support his side at home. The Poppies, currently sixth in Blue Square Premier, are expecting a big away support from Luton on Saturday. 'At the minute we seem to be getting outnumbered by away fans and that's not right', Cooper told BBC Northampton. 'I just hope that we start getting a few more Kettering fans coming to the arena and giving the players the support they deserve'. "


Maybe the locals just object to the rip off prices you're trying to charge them?

Not only that but the muppets have done away with cash entry turnstiles, you have to buy in advance or visit a window on the day if its not all ticket. How to drive fans away unbelievable.

I won't be going there this season. I prefer to give my hard earned to clubs who appreciate it.

This is now accepted as standard practice at league clubs. The first time i saw it was at Crystal Palace. They came up with the idea that people had to queue up to buy a ticket then queue again to get in then wait for a steward to direct them to the right seat.

My son, Niall,  was at the Bundesliga 2 match between TSV 1860 Munich & Karlsruhe at The Allianz Arena on Monday & he has confirmed that it is a marginally superior stadium to Rockingham Road ;)

Talking of daft ticketing arrangements, how come only one turnstile is open to adults at Moss Lane (Golf Road)?  There are seperate turnstiles for concessions and season ticket holders that relatively few people use which means people end up queuing round the corner when 2 of the 3 turnstile operators aren't doing anything.  Is it a daft BSP regulation or is there another reason?

I would guess it's due to a lack of volunteers to man the turnstiles.
