Attendance watch 2010/2011

[No Fixed Abode]

15,914 V Scunthorpe.

Not great for an opening day game.

[Big Foot]

On the contrary, I'd say that's a good attendance bearing in mind how many people are on holiday

We've only sold 11,000 STs
Scunny must've had 7-800 fans max

So I make that 4,000 customers buying a single ticket for the game, which is about what it's always been at this level - this is still assuming that 100% of the 11,000 STH's turned up

15,914 V Scunthorpe.

Not great for an opening day game.

Not bad for a small club though eh m8

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

close to the figure against Brighton a few years ago, and they are a massive club

[paultheroyal]

Good attendance IMO for reasons stated above. If we played Forest, Cardiff etc it would of been around 19,000 and everyone raving about it.

[Mad Dog's Ghost]

... or just over 17,000.

Forest brought about 2,000 more than scunny, so even fewer Reading fans showed up this week.

I make it almost exactly the same...

[No Fixed Abode]

17,324

[Mad Dog's Ghost]

Pea,

Gate Saturday was about 1,300 up on Scunthorpe. Forest brought about 2,000 more than Scunny. So about 700 fewer RFC fans Saturday. Surprising. I'd have thought Forest would be a bigger draw. Perhaps the 'pay on the day' fans deem £27 too much for the quality that's been dished up so far?

[brendywendy]

A- its probably best to wait till a few games in, and get past the summer holidays to judge the attendances, and B:
it wouldnt really be a shocker if we lost a few fans, espcially with all the "where has all the money gone"ing, and "why arent we buying anyone"ing going on

No doubt about it. Professional football over here is generally ridiculously overpriced especially with the 'quality' on show. £27 to watch federici, Long and co. No Fanks.

Watch us lose even more if we can't manage to hang on to all of our remaining few 'stars' in this transfer window.

[brendywendy]

really?

1stly- is that going to happen?- all the evidence so far has shown us to be getting rid of the over payed and under performers, along with those we wont miss. while keeping every one we need.
if it starts happening then fair enough, but it hasnt.

2ndly- before the 106 season, for many seasons we had alot of average players, and some more than indifferent results, dropping down to the 1st div.
we managed to survive without haemoraging all our fans, and i still very much enjoyed those seasons

[Mad Dog's Ghost]

Didn't we average fewer than 8,000 in the pants-day season in div 1.

[brendywendy]

yes, and jolly good fun it was too

[Mad Dog's Ghost]

Ah, the good old days. Just like last night.

[No Fixed Abode]

V Northampton 6,986

[SLAMMED]

Carling cup game on a tuesday night. Shock horror.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

V Northampton 6,986

There have been top flight games with attendances of 7000.

For example, Chelsea v Soton, 1st Division in 1992.
