iancognito Posted 5 May 2008 Posted 5 May 2008 Season ticket prices have been frozen but (possibly Leeds aside) there won't be anything that you can call a Category A game next year so the prices for general sale should be mid range anyway which will keep a lot of the casuals in tow. Added to that, games like Yeovil and Cheltenham - no direspect - will be Kids For A Quid or something similar. I'd think we'll start with crowds of 18-20K and performances will decide if that goes down to 15ish or up to about 25.
brookfox Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 Here's the average attendances of the current League One clubs. If Leeds go up, we'll probably just about top this list next season! Northampton Town (9) - 5409 Brighton & Hove Albion (7) - 5937 Southend United (6) - 8173 Nottingham Forest (2) - 19956 Leeds United (5) - 25720 Swansea City (1) - 12993 Luton Town (24) - 6492 Hartlepool United (15) - 4507 Yeovil Town (18) - 5637 Cheltenham Town (19) - 4310 Bristol Rovers (16) - 6850 Leyton Orient (14) - 5210 Gillingham (22) - 6077 Doncaster Rovers (3) - 7978 AFC Bournemouth (21) - 5504 Walsall (12) - 5620 Crewe Alexandra (20) - 4932 Carlisle United (4) - 7835 Swindon Town (13) - 7170 Millwall (17) - 8669 Oldham Athletic (8) - 5326 Tranmere Rovers (11) - 6504 Huddersfield Town (10) - 9391 Port Vale (23) - 4417

SamL Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 Personally, I think we'll get around 15k at the Walkers. Our away attendances will be pretty much the same though. There was talk that we wouldn't be opening all four stands at the Walkers if we got relegated. A bit like what Leeds did with their Upper Tier.
Simon Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 It really depends. If we're doing well, I'd imagine attendances will be over 20K. Otherwise around 15k. Still not decided if I'll renew. Think I might aim to get round some more away grounds instead...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 I don't see that they should fall dramatically. I'm fairly certain that the big crowds we've been getting haven't been coming to view the magnificent spectacle that is the Championship - for the most part it's been like paying £25 to watch a turd dry out. In fact, I'm at a loss as to why they've been coming at all. If results are good, and there's a decent chance of coming away from the ground with a smile on your face instead of wondering why you didn't spend the afternoon clearing out the garage/washing your hair/building a subterranean prison for your children, I think the division you're in makes less difference than you think

As I said before it's nothing like the drop you get from premier to Championship when all the glory hunters vanish.
Dr The Singh Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 Exactly... people saying 15k are well wide of the mark. As I said before it's nothing like the drop you get from premier to Championship when all the glory hunters vanish. It all depends upon the initial success of the team, everyone loves a winner, the glory hunters will return in no time!!!!
Babylon Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 It all depends upon the initial success of the team, everyone loves a winner, the glory hunters will return in no time!!!! If we do well we could seriously get high 20's... the numbers we have managed through all this shit has been top notch to be honest.
Dr The Singh Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 If we do well we could seriously get high 20's... the numbers we have managed through all this shit has been top notch to be honest. I can imagine around the 25k, if we get some really good early results. The fans are craving success and some decent results, it would give the fans and club a real lift!!! But if we begin to ponder around mid table, it could be around 12-14k!!! There will be alot more ticket offers (family fixture etc) to get the likes of me (skint) to come to the game, so on those occassion 20k should be a minimum!!!
majestic fox Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 If we have averaged 22/23k in this division doing poorly, I see no reason why we can't average 18/19/20k next year. It's not like those going regularly this year are glory hunters who will drop off like they did when we came down from the prem.Winning games brings the crowds, if we are doing well I think we can get 26k regularly easily. i totally agree, 28ish if were winning most games and near a promotion spot
