We didn't sell out the West Ham playoff game.

22K genuine fans + 20K day trippers.

Why the obsession with the attendance, everyone is suffering and we never sold out many games before.

But we are the "Red Dragons" now and our best chances of Premier League.....
Surely PR at the club are doing everything they can?
Schools? Boys clubs? Football teams? Links to the community? Etc

Or is it short termism?

It must be the errand, we are doomed i tell you. It would be packed every game if we were in blue just link last few seasons, wouldn't matter if we were bottom of the league facing winding up orders every month. The good old days hey.

There is many reasons and the main thing is money a lot of people havent got the money to go to every game but we are getting 20 000 every home game we have to be pleased with that for the moment

Gwyn I know and fully respect your opinions, mine are different. My question is what are the club doing to sell CCFC? How are they promoting us?
It all seems Premiership or bust .......

My point is .... I don't care.

We have an obsession with attendance, that is nothing short of perverse. We get the crowds we get, end of. If football was all about potential crowds Leeds and Sheffield Wed would be in the prem and Newcastle would be in the Champions League.

But aren't we planning to add 10,000 more seats soon?
You watch when we make a major game against the Top Premier clubs, all want tickets!
How is the club trying to win hearts and minds?

I think you are having a laugh there to say that the re branding has not had some impact, there is a recession out there and times are hard but there is no doubt that the re branding has had some impact on our attendances, Its not being negative but if we do not get promoted this season attendances will drop even further next season. Many fans who renewed this season to get a Cup Final or extra an cup final ticket will not renew next season. Lets be realistic.

Any game in this division and pulling 20,000 or more then I don't see why people are complaining.

The rebrand is a bullshit excuse. Utter idiotic and wrong.

Palace had a home gate of 16,700 since then they hit top spot yet today their attendance was 500 down at 16,200.

They must be holding their heads in their hands.

Well, we were a few years ago. Take a look at the attendances.

25k in the past few seasons have been seen.

Nowhere near that at the moment
