[OSRGull]

I think we'll average around 17,000-18,000.

 

[Spider]

That table is all over the place on my screen! Unless Leeds have played 512,363 home games this season!

I'd say average 18,000. If we've sold 15,000 season tickets and are getting 1,000+ away tickets each game it seems unlikely we won't get an extra thousand or so on the gate.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

We should average 20k - 21k I would expect. Many teams will fill or nearly fill the away end due to the novelty and larger clubs we're playing, and if we don't then segregation will allow another chunk to be released to home fans.

I'm impressed that Norwich managed to get a few hundred above the ground capacity in to their highest gate! Maybe we can do the same by letting folk perch on teh concrete in teh corners until the seats are installed.

 

[Simster]

8th.

Averaging just under 21,000, aided by many teams bringing the full 2,300.

 

[Mackenzie]

I think our average will be around 19'000 so about the same as Ipswich in 9th.

 

[8ace]

By average: Top 10
By percentage: Top 2

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Somewhere around the Hull/Sheff Utd mark

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Premature question with respect. As things stand we're not in the Championship next season.

No, but we will be.

What that table also illustrates is that we sit just outside the 'relegation zone' when it comes to capacity.

 

[8ace]

Another column that would be of interest would Highest / Capacity as a percentage.
Anyone any good with spreadsheets can work this out please?

 

[Steve Foster]

Games against Doncaster, Scunthorpe, Barnsley, Preston, Wigan, Bournemouth, Middlesborough, Swansea, Burnley & Coventry to name just 10 will not attract that many away fans (appreciate that some of these clubs we may not be playing next year), or the casual Albion non season ticket holder would want to relish.

18,250 as an average for next season would be very good.

 

[Notters]

21,000?! No chance! There'll be loads of empty sth seats just like there are now.

 

[We're the Stripes]

21,000?! No chance! There'll be loads of empty sth seats just like there are now.

Yup, factoring in the absent STHs as well as an average of around 1000-1500 away supporters, I think we'll be looking at roughly 19,500.

Which would put us 9th in the current table.

 

[8ace]

21,000?! No chance! There'll be loads of empty sth seats just like there are now.

Not to mention the thousand or so kept back by the club for staff, comps, charities etc.

 

[Trigger]

Pretty much on a par with Reading I reckon.

 

[Simster]

21,000?! No chance! There'll be loads of empty sth seats just like there are now.

Some clubs factor STHs in their attendance figures whether they turn up or not. Others don't.

I took the view that we will be doing so, given that the club will want as much ammunition as possible for getting planning permission to have the capacity raised.

 

[Marshy]

We will average over 20,000 easily.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

That table brings home the size of Club we will be playing next season. Even with the Amex we are pretty standard fare. Very interesting Bozza.

Pretty sure they don't, except perhaps mk dongs.
