Poor effort by us if that’s it. 

Loads of Floaters can get fucked. 

Season ticket holders and those who go pretty regularly when they can are the lifeblood of the club not JCLs who come for a cheap ticket or local derby.

Why the fcuk does anyone believe someone on facebook & people getting dramatic saying its a poor effort. It's only Wigan FFS in League 1 (not much different to playing Tranmere or Bury), I think anything around 19k-20k would be excellent & looking at the ticket sales on the website & with it only being Weds I think that there will be at least 16k home fans

Yes.

Result is the important bit really, not the attendance.

As it happens, the attendances have been excellent this season anyway.

Not many seats in lower tiers left and uppers seem to be selling well - around 20000 including non league lot 

Exactly, and some are saying its a poor effort - even if it was only 18k - 19k most teams in league 1 could only dream of a crowd like that at £27-£29 a ticket.

Personally I think the fact that we are regularly getting between 14k-16k home fans on a regular basis in league 1 is quite astonishing & something we should be proud of

I’ve just paid £30 inc booking fee for this game. 

Scandalous pricing for League 1. 

You can watch PL football as an away fan for £30 FFS.

It’s no bloody wonder we haven’t sold so many……

An interesting point this.

Now the financial discrepancy between the Premier league and the rest is so big, as we've discussed before, the top division could let folk in for next to nothing, and proportionally not lose that much.

Lower down, gate receipts become a much bigger slice of income.

In the end, it's perhaps unsurprising that some top flight tickets can be had for not much more than a lower team's. 

There are however, some truly extortionate prices around, especially in London.

You’re not wrong!

Stockport County fan at work told me today it’s £25 a ticket when they play Kings Lynn away this season. £25 for non-league is ridiculous.

£29 a pop in the East and West Uppers. This might be Bolton's record gate receipts for a 3rd Div match

Think that’s a valid point, didn’t realise it was that expensive without a season ticket.
