February 7, 20251 yr It's been quite remarkable really. Over 20k gates (tickets sold) being the norm is insane.
February 7, 20251 yr 10 pager incoming😂 I’ll cover a few Our supporters are wankers tickets are too cheap average revenue per game per fan is £0.89 Real attendances are 8.5k Hot dogs aren’t buttered. It’s all good. COYWM.
February 7, 20251 yr Not sure the numbers will be as high next season. If we don't go up, then we will have to make a good fist of trying, and bring some players/positivity back
February 7, 20251 yr A containment thread for all things attendnoncery so the rest of us don't have to read it Excellent work @desperado
February 7, 20251 yr (although I agree the rise in our attendances is, indeed, very encouraging and a thing to be celebrated)

If there isn't a great deal of improvement, then the new found enthusiasm will wane. Not east to get back quickly, and some will want to see what happens in the summer, rather than immediately renew.
February 7, 20251 yr Author If we’d have stuck with Evatt I think we would have seen a drop. Don’t think we will now. Tomorrow will be a good indicator. Selling out the EFL trophy game at Wrexham was another impressive indicator

February 7, 20251 yr It’s also the season we were relegated and didn’t even complete our fixtures - so a low comparator. No doubt it’s impressive though. When you compare to 16/17, which was our promotion season from L1 and before everyone really fell out with Ken, even then we only averaged 15,100 at home. When you consider how shit it’s been since (league position wise), the fact we’ve added 6,000 fans is amazing.

February 7, 20251 yr Be careful, be very careful. So easy to slip back into the 80s. Only need to lose the play off target this season and wipe 5-6 K off the crowd. Season tix well down for next year and we're off to a bummer, seen it for years & years & its depressing. This is our time!!! Do an Oxford & we'll be reet for years to come.

Whoever's idea it was to reduce S/T prices, virtually give away kids S/Ts and have (4?) £10 games a season has to take a lot of the credit for the increase, whilst also making it difficult to compare like with like. Having owners we like is a huge factor too, IE was starting to erode it by iffy behaviour and being allowed to outstay his welcome, but it feels like we may have just acted in time to uphold take up for next season, a few encouraging performances under SS would obviously help🤞

February 8, 20251 yr Think this is down to cheap season tickets, feel good factor of the resurgence over the last few years, the fact that in league 1 we are the favourites most games so have most of the play as well as the style of football under Evatt (apart from this season). Seen a lot say that attendances will increase if/when we get to the championship. Dont agree with that. Maybe the first year or two but once we’re settled in mid table with no much to play for it will become a bit stale. Becoming nigh on impossible to get promoted from the champ now competing against the relegated prem sides who not only have by far the best players but also the parachute payments over 3 years.

I get a bit stuck on thinking about the likes of Blackburn and Preston who have done a lot right over the last few years but it still always feels way out of reach for them.
February 9, 20251 yr Popular Post While I care little about attendances, that’s the fullest I’ve seen the place after 90 mins for a long, long time
