The numbers are rising, albeit in small amounts. 900 for Bristol, 1200 for Preston, and 1500 for today. Some might say that's a rise of 300 a game :thinking about:

Or you could be making it up as the official attendances have fallen for every game...

11-Aug-13	H	Bristol City			2,204
25-Aug-13	H	Preston North End	2,068
08-Sep-13	H	Colchester United		1,789

Or you could be talking nonsense as the official attendances have fallen for every game... I make it 200 less per game..

The real question is what would the attendances have been at the Ricoh?

The real question is what would the attendances have been at the Ricoh?

9000
9500
10000

28500 x average of £15 per head - £427,500
versus
6000 x average of £12 per head = £72,000

so far lost £355k (looking good so far sisu - turning down the rent offer of £400k )
add on no shirt sales
no kit sponsorship
lack of corporates
no other sponsors

i would say the 400k is already well pissed up the wall (with 1/8 of the season gone)

So at this rate this ground they are having built would have been paid for in the next 5 years if they would have stayed at the Ricoh. Yet they need someone else to finance it. But Timothy says they can afford to make such a loss :thinking about:

When you take out the season ticket holders who have already paid,500-600?? maybe, then after rent to Northampton and the matchday costs, [the gate receipts would be circa £15,000] you have to wonder if they have enough money left to buy petrol for the coach home. :thinking about:

:facepalm:

Tim said 6 to 7,000 if we were doing well.

We have form that would have us just outside the play-offs. I consider that to fit the criteria of 'doing well'.

We have a home support of 1,500. Well done Tim. Only 5,500 out and around 20% of your prediction.

And this from a banker that knows about statistics....

Skybluesqirrel.... I think you misheard the statement about Timmy ..."And this from a banker that knows about statistics..." what they actually said is that "Timmy is a ~anker that knows about ballistics".
And this is now proven as he has blown both his balls off by taking us to Sixfields.:facepalm:
