IS £10 too much to charge to see a game of non-league football?
Eastleigh director / co-assistant manager Paul Doswell believes tonight's free admission experiment at the Silverlake Stadium could provide the answer.
The Blue Square South side have been on a mission to attract crowds in line with their status as Southampton's second club since making the headline-grabbing signing of Matt Le Tissier five years ago with Doswell saying: "We have done everything we can."
An adult ticket for an Eastleigh home game costs £10 and, as our research shows, that price is broadly in line with what other similar standard clubs charge.
