GC Will do well to get us in the top ten... massively depends on who we can get rid of though to free up money for some quality.

Unless we turn into a play off chasing side, I don't see the crowds increasing tbh.
We've lost momentum & people who turned into regulars will need some motivation to become regulars again

8320 for a team that has nowhere near played to their potential isn't bad at all. Get off to a good start next season and that figure will rise considerably,

Shows how things have been going these last few years. Agreed but at the same time is anyone really surprised? We've hit a ceiling as a club and people would rather watch winning football. Our natural position over the next 3-4 years if we are lucky will be between 8th and 20th in League 1. Ergo we will seldom be gunning for promotion or having anything really exciting to play for. Therefore I predict attendances to continue to fall. It's inevitable, and I'm not sure what we can do about it? I'd say we'd almost certainly get higher attendances for a top 7 season in L2 than a midtable season in L1, but we don't want that do we?

The elephant in the room with all this is the new ground and the training ground. Without them we are marking time as well as we can, hopefully in League 1. Get a new ground and we can start to grow again, attract players and develop income from non football sources. 8-9k isn’t bad but it could be so much better. But I can do nothing about that so I’ll just keep supporting in the only way I can. UTG!

Considering wins have been few and far between this year, for us 8320 is actually pretty decent and it would be a lot more if we could get together a team capable of challenging in this division.
I personally don't think we will finish as close to the relegation zone next season as we did this year but to even have a sniff of the playoffs, recruitment will have to be absolutely spot on or it will be another lower mid table finish.

Unfortunately, new Ground, new Training facilities, really aren't going to happen under the Al Qadi's ownership. I really wish they were as I had every faith they would deliver both, but they won't.

These attendance figures take no account of opposition fans nor when matches are played.

Probably right baggins. UTG! I'm still coming to terms with the fact that when they took over, the thought that at last, we've got the cash to go get what we've dreamt of for year upon year, far too many years to be honest, and then to be slowly but surely let down on every front, it's heart breaking.

Yes such a let down with the 'Confidentiality' nonsense,the failed promise that the Colony would be ready this month,UWE etc.Feel so dejected and the facilities we provide visiting fans are a disgrace.

And there's no sign, no word at all, that it's going to get any better. What I hate the most is that Wael was put on the shoulders of a fan and then joined in with celebrations, then sat in front of a camera and said how great it was. We've always held up our end of the deal by continuing our amazing support, he, on the other hand, has proved he and his family are full of it.

These attendance figures take no account of opposition fans nor when matches are played. Agree, attendances depend on how many 'big' clubs and 'small' clubs are in the league in those seasons. I'm also wondering, with the electronic entry system, whether non attending season ticket holders are still included in the gate figures. Saying all that, it's ok considering the carp home form.

Clutching at straws I think; the team has not performed well this season, while many including myself have renewed their season tickets, I know of others who will not, we have a owner who refuses to invest in players and / or the infrastructure of the club, which is not going entice supporters back; if this impasse does not change, I can see another struggle next season and gates of below 8k being the norm, I really hope I am proved to be wrong.
