It's been circa 800-1k down on ticket sales every announced attendance at BP going off counting the seats on the map about 6800 sold for carlisle announced 5.7k i think . Will be interesting to see the announced when we play you with it being a crappy midweek 1 re-arranged I think about 7.5 had been sold for that . I bet a lot won't be able to go to that one .
Sold 7000 plus so far including season tickets but we don't include no shows in the final attendance, the issue with the offer is that it likely just means people who'd pay on the gate get a freebie, imagine will be around 8000 physically (think you've sold 700)
2000 season ticket holders won't turn up and won't be counted towards the attendance.
They will be wishing they hadn't bothered now. Inept referee completely ruined that game today.
Decent number, does show how our stats are affected by declaring actual attendance over tickets sold as we'd sold over 7000 home tickets by Tuesday so 1000 STH didn't turn up so when comparing to other clubs it would have been well over 8k.
Was very evident last night, particularly in the Hamil which has the designated "family stand" (a few blocks to the left of the goal). It looked well below half full. Most of those not there will have been kids and the elderly.
Was a chilly one! But obviously for statistical purposes to compare to other clubs our average attendance would be much higher than it is if using the same yard stick.
Good in the circumstances from Notts but also shite in another way. 50 mile trip challenging for automatic promotion, home crowds averaging 10k - in another era (no live TV) would have been 2k on a Tuesday night and near 3k on a Saturday at 3pm.
4 Week notice periods at the business end of the season isn't ideal, problem is the big games so arguably the four best attended games usually for us all moved for TV in Notts/Walsall/Crewe and Donny.
