the club have to be careful about making it a closed shop as well

if you get the same group of people going to home and away games for 10+ years, with very little room for new blood to join the party, then it's probably not very healthy for the long term future of the club.

Particularly a club like ours, where the possibility of a bad few years is never far away, and where you might have to rely on a wide and varied base of support to stave off administration one day. Not having a generation who have grown up just watching football on the tv.
