Problem - The number of Kettering fans inside Rockingham Road is growing smaller and smaller.
Solution - Hike the prices and make every game all ticket, necessitating at least another extra journey to see the team play.
Never mind that this will deter floating supporters and drive them into Peter Mallinger's waiting arms.
Also never mind that it penalises our numerous supporters who live away from Kettering, and don't fancy relying on the snail-mail for their tickets.
Never mind too that the Club Shop in town has closed and the ticket kiosk at the ground isn't completed.
And now, for the Luton game you can only gain entrance if you are a Season ticket holder or Club Member! The tickets aren't going on general sale AT ALL. Do the authorities honestly believe that Luton fans without tickets will travel up here and buy them for the home end? Please! Given the increasingly sparse nature of the home support, they would stand out a mile with their haunted, "We used to be in Division One" look in their eyes.
It's all well and good making games all ticket when you are likely to be over-subscribed, but when less than a thousand home fans are in the ground you've got to ask yourself are you doing something wrong, surely?
Are the Club deliberately trying to make it less attractive AND less easy to get into Rockingham Road, because some of the stuff going on here beggars belief. All we want to do is turn up on a Saturday and watch our home town play non-league football. Is that too much to ask?
