Todays ATTENDANCE (merged threads)

[Scotty Mac]

5496 - with around 400 from carlisle

 

[Icy Gull]

Dreadful really..but hard to know how the Albion can do anything about it. Chance to beat the leaders and get into the playoffs you'd expect more to be there, cost, xmas, Withdean fatigue or whatever.

Dreadful really..

good turnout from carlisle though

 

[SNOOBS]

Hardly dreadful

under 5000, we've lost once in thirteen against the side top of the table - its not exactly good either

Average it is then

I've come to the conclusion it's not the team,manager etc.It's the prices end of.

I didn't go but have paid for my ticket-didn't fancy a 150 mile round trip to sit and freeze my ass off today. You're partly right though-pricing has some influence and we'll see how much with the deal for the Gillingham game. The last Friday before Christmas might keep many away-hope not. Forest is the same deal but they'd have bought a full allocation anyway.

oh look a thread about attendances...AGAIN...YAWN!

 

[Dave the OAP]

its an average 3rd division crowd!!!!

 

[goldstone]

its an average 3rd division crowd!!!!

But when we were in the 3rd division last time we were getting far better crowds ... and that was a playoff season so presume we were around the same place in the table.

What was the price of admission that season?

i can only imagine it was less - im pretty certain season tickets were anyway

 

[Yorkie]

The price of annual season tickets hasn't altered much - we lost the free cup ticket for the same price.

The club need money. We lose money at every game at Withdean and then people want players to stay/come in. What can be done? The prices were reduced for an FA cup game but still people didn't go.

 

[Scotty Mac]

The prices were reduced for an FA cup game but still people didn't go.

a tuesday night meeting with cheltenham for the third time in 2 weeks is hardly going to inspire people to come out - especially on a school night

the real test on if it is the prices will be the gillingham game reductions - friday night so no school, chance to go shopping on the saturday, and hopefully we will have kept up the good run. and add in a pretty local game, so gillingham SHOULD bring down a fair few

er no, prices have always been high, people just can't be arsed, and fair enough.

Yes because its not like its a major issue or anything

 

[Silent Bob]

its an average 3rd division crowd!!!!

For the likes of Walsall and Port Vale maybe. It's crazy that we can't get at least 6k with our form/league position at the moment.

 

[Dave the OAP]

that is walsall and portVale who have grounds with ROOFS!!!!!

I still recon that is one of the man issues.


Roofs = atmosphere
Roofs = dry people

simple as

 

[Marc]

its not, everyones too used to big (withdean Big anyway) crowds they automatically assume we'd get them week in week out. Theres just too many factors to go into the reasons why the crowds are "low", main one being Delusions of grandeur!
