OUR LEAGUE ATTENDANCES THIS SEASON

Fri May 04, 2012 6:28 pm

Our average league away attendance is 1,118.

Our average league home attendance is 21,179.

This season at home, the only games that achieved a higher attendance than the West Ham game last night were Middlesbrough, Reading, Palace (CC), West Ham (League) and Leeds.

Quite poor if you ask me, didn't think the away one was that bad but it isn't the best either.

Unless we turn it around on monday I fear for our attendances in the next few seasons. :cry: :ayatollah:

Rhys, many people like jumping on the bandwagon and those plastics are going to Gypoland. FACT (which is sad): the best teams usually have bigger attendences.

Yes I know and completely agree about them jumping the bandwagon, but I don't understand why people couldn't jump the bandwagon last night and get us a full house.

The website said on wednesday that we had sold 23,000 and like somebody said on here earlier that must mean that we only had a 29 walk up crowd, which is bollocks because i had seen quite a few queues at the ticket office :lol:

But it was a workday and people can't help it if they have work the following morning. But I DO think that we are waaaaay underrated. :cry:

Is that from every home game or just league ones? I just added up the total attendance of home league games this season then divided by 23. Got the attendances from the programme.

Thats the average league gate on every site I've looked at. (about 5 different ones).

You might want to try it again. Looks like you missed a game off.

Only 3 clubs have seen a year on year increase in attendances when you compare this season to last season. Reading +8%, Ipswich 6.8% and Middlesbrough 7.2%. The remaing clubs who were in the Championship both this season and last season saw an average decrease on 9.1% on attendances.

We saw a 4.1% decrease in average attendances which is good when you consider that clubs like Leeds Utd - 14.35% and Hull 11.25%. We are also still over 6% higher than the average for our first season in the new stadium.

I believe the economic situation in the country is and will continue to have an effect on attendances and when you consider our attendances have dropped by only half the average for the division rather than being poor it's actually quite good.

Our Season Ticket sales are at least on a par with our first season in the new stadium so in my opinion Monday will have little effect on next seasons attendances. In fact the addition of teams like Wolves, Charlton, Sheffield Utd / Wednesday may actually help attendances increase next season.

Oh well done. You know one person so that explains the drop in attendances :roll:

Its more to do with the economy, the CCS being shit, and the negative brand of football.

what you forget rhys is that there are 4k away fans allocated space, so our home fans attendances is stable as as you noted wh ect bring more away fans than other teams so attendance bigger but only because away end is fuller, when smaller teams come smaller away crowd lower attendance simples and dont forget got about 18k ST so always will have 20k + at home despit looking as if there is less, ST dont attend all games but still counted dont worry we are ok think got good hardcore fans now :ayatollah:
