I do apologise for the shambles that the FAB CROWD ALOUD Macclesfield game turned into. On reflection as the architect and administrator of this fun competition it is down to me and nobody else to present correct facts so as to have a fair game.
In this instance I failed to verify the current ground capacity at Surrey Street, ironic since I deal in crowd analysis.
I also failed to pick up on a competitor's remarks on ground capacity and merrily sailed on regardless. I had assumed SS to be a capacity of 1950.
It is not BANDIT18's responsibility to act as policeman on the FCA. He, quite rightly, says it is a competition and that he will take fair advantage where he can.
As I only found out at 1401 on Saturday that the ground capacity is in fact still 1400. Too late to revise anything.
I think, in this instance, ignorance would have been better and the game could have stood.
Because of my negligence and that is what it is it is embarrassing I have decided it is time to wind up FCA run by me.
We have had 9.5 seasons
521 games
39 'BANGONS'
5 times Champion DENTONHILLMAN
44 players in those seasons
I do hope GLOSSOP NORTH END continue. If I am allowed a little advice. The Board of Directors should not continue doing the same thing. Try innovation. Get younger ideas. Approach Glossop School and ask the authorities if they might run a project in the school like 'How to attract more people to your local football club'
Run a similar project in The Glossop Chronicle.
GLOSSOP has a population of c. 40000. GNE has an average crowd of 300 which equates .0075%. So how to get that to 1%
and so on is the trick. Info on the Town's leisure habits would be good.
Have a street poll to the same effect.
Link with organisations/clubs etc. who have regular prize winning competitions and offer a GNE season ticket as a prize.
There must be many around.
And so thankyou all who have been FCAers and the kind words you have sent in the past.
Good Fun
All the best
