Supporter ages at games
What age groups is the NZFC getting it main spectator base
from? Blew2007-06-24 20:52:21
at otago united the youth invovlement is about 5% of the crowd with
midget games at the braek otagofan2007-06-28 10:48:04
they have midgets playing at half time? Brilliant!
there's a video nasty in that somewhere
Do they get fired on to the ground out of cannons?
If this is a true reflection of ages attending the NZFC then the
target age for marketing needs to drop to 13 to 15 year olds or is
the spectical not there to keep them attending in greater numbers.

I think the age groups offered for selection, bias the
result of the poll.
Why 5 year age bands for under 20, then lump everybody over 20
together? Of course it's going to give you the result we've
got thus far. Would it be any different at any other football
league in e.g., UK?
What was the point of the poll? And of the age group
bands?
The age at which we loss most players from the game is 15 to 20,
they also make up the smallest percentage of supporters. This is
even more evident when the youth squads play curtain raisers, they
sure stand out in the crowd when they do stay to watch.
To grow the game we need to keep this age group interested in
the game. Is the limited youth leagues and college games enough to
do this.
Sorry for late response, but life has been busy lately.

I think it would be good to have some curtain raisers involving
local high school teams- maybe shortened games (committing the
whole of Sunday afternoon to footy might be difficult for some
spectators). Likely to bring their families, school friends etc to
the games, and hopefully also build a bit of atmosphere. (could
look to doing alternate school matches one week, with "ethnic
community" matches- as suggested by Daikiwi in another thread- on
the other.)
In order to keep the young players and their supporters on for the NZFC match, could have Player of the Day award or something at half time. Could possibly look to have that award sponsored, with a prize- and maybe have it a schools league player of the week, which might encourage others not involved in the curtain raiser to attend.
