With increased away fans, I wonder how many sell-outs there could be?
I am going for 7,875.

No.

7875 sell outs in only 23 games. That is impressive

Why the clown emoji? Are you looking in the mirror?

Depends how we do innit. With the new very high entry prices, if we are struggling when winter comes I doubt that many people will turn up for the less attractive games. Do well and we’ll sell out every game.

I reckon we’ll average 6500

Probably average around 6.5k given the bigger clubs will sell out the away end

According to world football.net the average home attendance last year was 7,841…

Agreed that the new £29 ticket price to sit in the old East stand will affect some if we are struggling.
The big games will sell out but we may have to consider “Football for a Fiver “ for games like Burton, Fleetwood…….
My guess is our average will be 7,000
Just checked availability in the East Stand for the Portsmouth game and there are many empty seats……….maybe ‘cos it’s holiday time but I thought it would have sold out by now

August 7.5 k. April 1.5 k

,100.000

6812.

7,050

6,243

8,143. Last years was roughly 7,800. Our first few games last season was about 6,500 and this year we will start with bigger gates so I would expect an increase unless we do terribly and the apathy kicks in.

6425. This year will be a better test of how much we've actually grown fan number wise. If we average over 5500 at the home end despite likely patchy results, that's real progress.

but is this the actual number of people in the ground, or the number of tickets sold?

Likely the same as last season once the early season optimism and big away followings drop off aligned with (possibly) poor form.

Can’t see Lincoln bringing many on a Tuesday night in October so I expect tickets sold to mirror last year across the campaign.
