United drop prices to tempt back fans
NEWCASTLE United will attempt to lure fans back to St James's Park by passing on this week's VAT cut to them.
The Magpies' attendances have dropped more than any other club's in the Premier League this season - with average attendances down by nearly 5,000. While the decision to cut ticket prices for Newcastle home games is a reaction to the fall in Value Added Tax, the club will be hoping it helps to fill the gaps in the St James's stands.
The loyalty of United's support is one of its most appealing selling points as unpopular owner Mike Ashley tries to sell them. But attendances have dropped off this season, a combination of the present financial circumstances and the club's off-field problems.
