And what happens tomorrow if under 16’s turn up with a valid ticket bought from the club and are refused entry as they do not have an adult with them .

Chippenham atmosphere was dead. Alienating this group is a joke. If it’s a worry provide more stewarding. Change this embarrassing pathetic decision made with no sense and frankly cop out of a rule to make life easier.
My son used to go alone when he was 17 home and away and to be honest if this rule applied to him I’say he’s being discriminated against. Don’t quote me this membership crap just sort it out. If the club want to say it’s working then look how flat home games are. Yours alienating future supporters of the club as well so sort your brains out.
Embarrassing decision by someone or some people with no clue how to deal with it.
Shameful

Got to agree with this atmosphere has been dire at home since this discission was made, but luckily the youth are still following as there were a few at the Welling game, I know Tom Bonner reached out to them to go to a meeting but I think it was cancelled due to the weather, but not heard anything since,
The lack of atmosphere must affect the players in raising their game, what is the point of finishing second in this league to gain home advantage in the play-offs, when the home crowd advantage is taken away by the club.

So is nothing happening regarding this.
We're at the point of the season where the atmosphere could really give the players the extra edge that's needed. You only need to look at the derby matches vs Welling and Ebbsfleet to see that it does have a factor.
And not just this season but future seasons we risk missing out on hundreds of young fans just because the club cant find a way of dealing with a very small minority on an individual basis. Yes a promotion will help bring more regular and consistent support but if we don't go up this season then I think we are going to see a lot more games with atmosphere like Chippenham unfortunately.
