Alfreton are to launch a fan consultation to discuss the way forward. The Reds have cut admission prices to £12 from £18 for their forthcoming game with Braintree to see if it can improve gates, but say they need to get at least 1,000 fans in to meet their usual take - and preferably 1,500 to show the discounted price is the way forward.
