Don't worry too much about it. Just do all you can do and let the rough end drag.

Originally posted by SpanglerFan316Originally posted by 1972ShockerIf we could boost our average attendance to 3,000 per game we would be near the Top 5 in the country.
I would love to see us at 3,000 but that is going to be a tall order. We increased our attendance from 1,998/Match in 2005 (#13 nationally IIRC) by 85 to 2,083/Match in 2006 (#10 nationally IIRC).
I have squawked and squawked about VB attendance on SN to the point of probably being somewhat of an irritant, but I don't think I have had much impact on improving attendance.
Hopefully, Jim Schaus is working on a great marketing plan as we discuss this.

If I'm Jim Schaus (and of course, I'm not, which probably also means I don't know what I'm talking about), I get flyers, promos, discount tickets, etc. to every high school athletic director (not just volleyball coaches) within 1-2 hours drive from Wichita. There is not better volleyball within a 3 hour drive. Get the kids (gals and guys) in the arena.
I know there are already a lot of young female v-ball players who go to games, but I bet with some work, they can get the boys interested. If you get kids hooked, they'll bring friends/parents or come again and just might grow the overall WSU fanbase in the process.

I'm on the same boat with '72 and Spangler in regards to Volleyball.
I never thought much of it until 4 seasons ago when I went to my 1st WSU match and I've been hooked ever since.
It is a wonderful sporting event. The SAs really care and they provide a fast paced, competitive, enjoyable product.
It would seem to me that 6k + to the KSU game and a top 10 national attendance would be reasonable goals.
I will be renewing my season tickets and visiting with the powers at be about some "extras" to do some of my own marketing.

Rather than try to carry on two discussions, here is a link to the subject on the Comments board.
But to summarize, there is more at stake than just VB discussion.
Code:Sub CreateWomensSportsForum() Dim WomensSports (1 to 7) as AthleticTeamType Dim Volleyball as AthleticTeamType Dim Cnt as Integer For Cnt = 1 To 7 GetFromWomensSportsForum (WomensSports(Cnt), Cnt) If Cnt = 1 Then Volleyball = WomensSports(Cnt) RemoveWomensSport (Cnt) End If Next Cnt CreateMainForum (Volleyball) End Sub

Sounds like a nice addition to the team. Winthrop has been beddy, beddy, good to the Shockers lately!
Wow, a roster of 21 players, and that's after Epiphany Davis transferred to Illinois-Chicago.
Perhaps Coach Lamb has decided he will build our attendance with the player roster.
2-months to the showdown with K-State!
