Attendance today

[aylesburyos]

I think 6049. Around 971 short in the away section but where were the missing fans in South & especially North stands. West pretty packed but a lot of no shows elsewhere

[tuffers#1]

Makes you wonder why people
Were asking for the Barrow & O's fans
Should be in the same section ?

Loads of big gaps in the West from our view in the East. There are 2 season tickets next to us and they have been empty for all bar one game this season

[POSHO]

As an aside, Notts County v Chesterfield in the conference had 10334 with 2719 away fans.Should there be an EFL league 3. There are 12 ex league teams currently in that division

There were loads of gaps visible in all stands.

It’s great to get 6,000 in the ground, but ridiculous there’s the best part of 2,000,people with tickets who didn’t show.

Not a lot the club can do about tickets that have already been ‘sold’.

(See I’m not anti club all the time )

[kokomO]

Club need to think about replacing the east stand with a terrace stand , this should then increase the capacity to over 10,000 and largely take away the issue of season ticket no shows and not being able to re-sell tickets for ST no shows.

It’s not like we’re getting any where near the championship anytime soon (where there becomes an all seater requirement to stadiums)

Ok, so I was one. Fuel for the car to get to the game and back now around £50, train system alternative full of bus replacement services, M11 closed in part leading to an extra hour at least on a 5 to 6 hour journey.

The Paul Terry boycott is real

[o-no]

There's a lot of covid around just now too. That's why I missed out.

That’s a fair point actually as it’s rife at the moment, I know loads that have it.

Just in time for the extortionate lat flow tests £££££ (not that anyone will bother)

Notts broke the NL attendance record doing footy for a fiver , 12,000 went, they tried the same yesterday with the nl east midlands derby .

Of course.

But 2,000 out of, what, 4,000 ST holders? That’s a joke.

[Petrov788]

so many empty seats, a pretty disappointing attendance considering tickets were a fiver. How much is football for a fiver actually advertised in the local area....I'm in a new block in Walthamstow, they could easily leaflet drop places like this. Must be 2,000 new residents in this quarter of St James, a 15 minute bus journey to the ground. Could they reach out to fans who would be willing to promote through various local channels. Just seems to be existing fans benefitting from it, which doesn't benefit the club.

[tuffers#1]

isnt it friend of a ST holder for a fiver , or is it now open to jo public ?

[Chief crazy horse]

Don't forget we went about six consecutive home games without even scoring a goal. That's hard viewing and hard to take. Our attendances dropped by about 500 because of that. If we keep this recent form up, hopefully they'll return.

[Give it to Jabo]

The club should be recognised for the PR work it does in local schools. What we want is a good cup run, of either competition, to generate wider interest. A good loanee from a local Premier Club would also help.

[tuffers#1]

Just make it open to all & publicise it properly !

Would cost a fortune to demolish and rebuild the East Stand in a ground we don't own it makes no sense at all.

wouldnt be much of a terrace either . if standing is wanted just redo the enclosures.

Eh? The club sold every £5 ticket they could, it was a sell out (apart from the away section)
The empty seats were season ticket holders who didn’t attend. Can’t knock the club for selling every single seat they were able to. It could’ve been 50p a ticket and they wouldn’t have been able to sell another ticket. The price of the ticket is irrelevant, ALL tickets were sold.

Tickets sold for game including season tickets 7,500

Actual people who attended 6,000

[Chelmsford Swimmer]

Any true fan not going would have given their ticket back to the club to sell.

I know people who didnt go because tjs was sold out & couldnt get a ticket where they normally sit with freinds so just didnt go at all .

If that's true then a hell of a lot of season ticket holders didn't turn up, lots. There were tons of empty seats in every stand. Which is odd, for a home game in the sun, team in form, retro kit day

The whole point of football for a fiver is to entice new fans. I just wonder how successful they are at doing it.

I wonder what that kid we had once before is doing, think his name was Kane or something like that.
