Where will we come in the Championship 'attendance league' next season?

[murciagull]

Be more then Palace

 

[Simster]

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

And Charlton.

Cardiff's figures are of interest as they are the only team experiencing the first year of a new ground bounce, albeit no a radical as change as we will be.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

With all that rubbish playing it round the back we'll be lucky to manage 8-9000 in the white elephant
BLOOM OUT.

Interesting figures - Norwich's highest gate attendance is 498 above the grounds capacity
Think the Club might be getting a call from the Licensing Authority - if I can spot it I am sure
someone else will.

And Charlton.

I've always assumed we do as the crowds, particularly recently, seem much less than the attendance announced. BUT (a) how do they do it, we have pull-out-bits-of-paper season tickets (rather than fancy swipe cards), do they just ignore them and only count bought tickets, added to the ST total; I'd assume they use the turnstile rotations to count people which wouldn't differentiate between ST and non-ST, AND (b) what would be the actual point of increasing our attendance figures, if anything you'd want to give lower than actual figures as policing and stewarding costs (a big issue in the lower leagues) are based on attendances; there doesn't seem any reasonable reason to overstate attendances, unless we are trying to pretend we are still a "big club". And we all know by now we aren't. So having previosuly assumed we include non attending ST holders myself, I now think we don't, as it makes more sense not to. IMHO.

Even with a full away end, we will be lucky to get 20,000 in the Amex. If we think there are a lot of STH no shows now, just wait til next year!

Unless of course the club instigate an online ticket exchange, which would mean a full ground, happy STH's and happy non STH's. In fact happy everyone.

Why the heck is this not yet done?

Good spot!

we could sell out the s/t but will they all come to every game?

Ticket exchange?


It seems the club is well aware of the potential problems. I can't believe they won't set one up.

If we are doing well I can see us getting full houses even against the less well supported teams as half the South Stand can be made available for home support.

I think we'll average over 20,000. If in the play off zone most of the season I think it will be nearer 22,000.
