"It has been noticeable this year that there has been a drop-off in attendances," he said.
"The finances are going to have quite a big impact on that. That is why I think it is important for clubs to try to make games attractive for our fans to remain with us.
"Ultimately, you have to be playing winning football, but if you are not then the fans want to see that their club cares about them. It is important to show that.
"These are difficult times for people in this country in financial terms, and have been for a while now. So it is no surprise that there has been a drop-off."
Tickets for tonight's game are priced from £15 for adults, £10 for under-22s and £5 for under-12s. Admission for under-eights will be free in the Family Stand and £1 in all other public areas.
City have asked fans to arrive early tonight due to the number of people collecting tickets.

“It proves beyond all doubt that cheaper tickets equals bigger crowds.
Bigger crowds mean you can help spur the team on.
I bet the ancillary sales were up on the usual Weeknight match average also.”
