Attendances at the Mem

Even for a 7000 crowd Gloucester Road was dead. Very strange.

I've been on holiday, and at a wedding today!

Who knows?

In Paris, watched the rugby. I can account for myself and brother in law!

the day trippers turn up for game 1 and the last game oh and wembley,,,the rest of the time its 6-7,000 dare i say it whaever division we are in

How many fans did Northampton bring compared to Barnet,that would account for a fair few

I stand in the blackthorn and I see the same old faces pretty much every game other than first game of the season , play offs and cup matches against big clubs.
The new faces are our big day outers and yes if on those big day outs we win then maybe we can hook them but more often than not it's the same old faces.
This clubs on to a good thing with this team / staff and the old faces can see that but it's going to take a while for the big day outers to see it.
Also there's a lot of Gasheads that only go away because they won't put money in the pockets of our board which I can understand up to a point.
I've been supporting the Gas for 30 odd years and I've rarely seen much money invested in the team even when we were selling players for £1m + on a regular basis.
Things like that do put people off spending their money.

Partly that yes.
Also a lot of them would have got in to the ground after kick off because only half our turnstiles were open, would have spent 20 minutes in line waiting for their pasty only to be told by a kid who can't even add up that they'd sold out of everything.
I gave a two pound coin yesterday for a £1,30 coke and the lad serving didn't know how much change to give me.
Once I told him it took him a lifetime to work it out and I had to take the change out of his hand.
These things put people off.

Some people go to every game, but I think every club has a pool of frequent support that (guessing now) is maybe twice the size of its average gate. Perhaps we have about 15,000, half of whom go to ten (more guessing) games a season, but of course people go to different games.

When there's a special game, which might include the first day of the season, more of them will make that match one of their ten games. When we get a sell-out there's the temptation to think, "where have all this lot come from?", but it may be that almost everyone there goes quite frequently, it's just that they've all made the effort for that particular special match.

Just a theory.

"Day trippers" "big day outers" pull your heads out your arses lads. Most people probably simply can't afford to go every game. I am lucky enough to have access to a box sometimes but mostly use the south stand, talk to the guys with kids in there and you will realise what an expensive exercise it is.
