Brechin City are banging the drum to increase the number of fans coming to games Brechin City, like a lot of clubs, could do with more fans clicking through the turnstiles on match-days. Chairman Ken Ferguson is calling on their fans to come along and enjoy the fine performances of Jim Weir’s men. Ferguson said: "We are competing at the top end of the table and had a good run in the Co-operative Insurance Cup so it has been a great opening to the season. However the management committee at the club feel disappointed by the attendances at our home matches. We fully appreciate these are difficult economic times but one aspect of running a successful team is that success brings increased costs. We always strive to do the best that we can for players and hence that is why we are an attractive side to join despite our geographical location. However winning games results in bigger bonuses which are usually compensated by higher crowds but that sadly that is not the case."Ferguson’s message had a serious undertone as he went on: "Club Finances are always difficult to balance due to variable expenses and performance related sources of income such as Cup runs. This makes it difficult to accurately budget for the year ahead but one thing for sure is that we cannot continue to perform at the level that we are without the full support of the local community. Our loyal supporters, season ticket holders, sponsors and hospitality guests are fantastic backers, however we must do everything we can as a community to increase attendances if we are to balance the books at the end of the season."Ferguson appealed for help in getting lapsed fans to come back saying:"It is easy to get out of the habit of attending games, and I would ask all of our supporters to do all they can to encourage family, friends, work colleagues along to this weeks local derby with Forfar Athletic and next weeks SFA Cup tie with Annan Athletic."
