Curtains Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just league games, and yes it does include the Forest game. Incidentally, Forest's average home attendance so far this season is 22,984 Their lowest attendance so far was on Tuesday against Charlton, with just 17,951 people bothering to turn up.Thanks I assume your looking at this table.http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalAttendance/0,,10794~20087,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yes. I've quoted it a lot but I'm not sure if i trust it, depends if it was figured out using MEAN, MEDIAN or MODE - although I've totally forgotten which is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's accurate myself I would imagine its mean average. Brighton have fantastic support as do Leeds Interesting that we averaged over 29k in 2008/2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Does this include televised FA Cup 32k against Chelsea and televised Forest game sell out 33k attendance stats for Football League. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalAttendance/0,,10794~20087,00.html Why bring the Forest attendance into it? You are comparing one season to another, and we play Forest at home every season - and it's a sell-out every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 You mean people weren't watching the videos? I wasn't (shudder). The story 'broke' in the Sun (or some other worthless bog roll) when he was at Derby, but he was manager at Wigan at the time of the indiscretion (I believe that some of the porking was on the bonnet of one of Dave Whelan's cars?)

DenbyRam Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Our general attendance hasn't really increased a great deal, has it? Still struggling for 24k most games I don't have any facts to back this up, just a feeling, but I think the number of away fans at the iPro this season is significantly down. That will affect the overall gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We had 30,000 odd of our fans at the iPro last week - and only 24000 of our fans there this week. Now I appreciate that Muespach, his great bunch of Alpine Froggy cowbell-obsessed characters and many more of our long distance fans will only get over on the very special occasions, but there must be 4 or 5000 'locals' who made the effort for Forest but couldn't be arsed for Charlton. Get behind this team - they are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will affect the overall gate. Just checked on Fl72 and I was right. We're seeing around 200 or less away fans this season on average. Not massive numbers I guess, but enough to make a difference. Interestingly, Yeovil have averaged over 200 more away fans at their place more than us this season.

Yes i thinking that......and tbh it didn't even look like 24,000 Huge gaps in the east stand for example. Yet when we get to wembley, whats the betting that i've got no chance of getting a ticket.

The club will, I'm sure, be able to put in a priority scheme where if you have been to a certain number of games, then you should be able to have some degree of priority in order to buy a Wembley ticket. Members and season ticket holders should get first dibs, but that's how it should be. Those who just turn up when we played Forest and Chelski (with the exception of our long distance and overseas fans) can just feck right off.

I'm saving cash now just in case we are at Wembley. Would love to go to every game like I used to. But pounds shilling and pence rule me out for a few games a time. Went today though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went today though I'm not talking about those who get to some games - I'm talking to those who got to Forest and Chelsea, but couldn't make it to some of the less 'attractive' games - some of which were just a tenner a pop.

davenportram Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Current season ticket holders and new ones for next season and 6 and 12 game plan buyers aee guaranteed play off tickets. That's about 18k I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till my boss did me a favour and sold me his. He went in the almost empty debenture holders seats where there was no atmosphere. Poor bloke. I think he regretted selling his.
