    As someone with experience on the matter I know that this wouldnt be the case with primary school.. I remember back 10/11 years ago when Kenny was manager. Me and another lad were the only two that would go to games. After he came in, about 7 or 8 lads went out to the next few games.. Primary school children if they have a flyer and a good story about a coach/player coming to bring home to their parents will (more often than not) at least give something a try.. as for only going to a talk to get out of work, that might be the case with secondary but not primary
