Excellent turn out this year, is that our highest average ever? think we'll be pushing 29/30k next season, expect around an extra 2000 ST if the price is right, along with a team that is capable of staying in the top 6 all season be plenty jumping on the bandwagon PUSB

Gonna tell my grandkids about the day 83,000 of us crammed ourselves into the CBS

Highest since 71/72 or something like that.

This is 1 of the reasons why I think Doug should keep any rises in ST prices to single figure % .The extra revenue created by the attendances has been a couple of mill. plus the prospect of new supporter being added by this years exploits will increase the money coming in as well.
Things like match packages should be pushed for those who travel and can't make night games.I could see the average increase to figures like CBS 16 is saying.

About 24k home fans there last night right? And about a block unsold in total looking at the seating plan beforehand. So say 25/26k home fans max, plus away and corporate. Does that sound right?

I can't see a rise in ST sales myself. I think we'll do well to match this seasons personally.

Thinking more about it you may be correct, the fixture scheduling has been really frustrating this season and I do know of a few that are thinking twice about renewing

We can all dream of Steps reforming one last time.

There's a few factors to consider. The fixture schedule does not help. Then, the likely hood that the FZ will be either reduced or price increased. And some may not feel the same buzz at the end of this season as they did after (or just before) the PO final.

Doubt it. Think ST's will go down due to the number of games that have been moved this season, and only likely to b worse due to the new deal.

These were our attendances between 64 and 74


This season is the clubs 10th best average

6th highest away support. Interesting to see the rest of the breakdown like 23,475 average home fans.

Fair play to Plymouth as well, 11th best overall despite travelling 261 miles on average.

Our away support has been very good now since Northampton, consistently high ..most seasons 2386 would have you in the top 2 or 3

The key thing for me is 23,475 as an average home crowd.

We've opened up seats to allow a capacity of near 28,000 next season.

We've got a lot more seats to fill.
