Minimum home attendance 1,800?

Hi all
Is this 1,800 figure including season ticket holders, or not?
Do we have an update on season tickets sales this year and how they compare with last year please?

I would think that does include season ticket holders

1800 should be the minimum we get. Last season was about as bad as things could get, with crowds dropping to 1100 and several poorly attended midweek games, and we still averaged over 1900. The first few games should get good crowds after 3 months of no football, and then the festive games, plus a few larger away followings and we should be able to get close to 2000, even in mid table. A few wins, some optimism spreads, and we'll be over 2000.

Although you would think 1800 should be achievable I would be careful assuming last year was as bad as things can get. The average attendance for league games swelled due to the Rovers home game and we also had a very decent early run of performances which (in honesty) is a little hopeful to wish for this year with where we are as a club.

Remember we also had a very decent FA Trophy cup run which would have also helped with income.

I am glad the new board are being realistic with their figures but as a supporter base we have to be aware that if we want a better calibre of player coming through the door at TQ1 then we need to be somewhere north of the 2k figure

If we don't have an attendance of over 2,000 for the 8th, I'll be disappointed.

a bad start and we'll get nowhere near this figure.
