25,783 would give us an average of 20k this season.

Either way over next 2 games , West Brom and Stoke i would expect our average home attendance to be hitting 20k plus over the season so far.

Interesting stats.
On first sight amazing that despite being 7th in home attendances , we are actually bottom(24th) in attendances played at away grounds. Nothing to do with the number of Coventry fans attending, or the attraction of Coventry to the home teams fans. We have played at 9 clubs who are in the bottom 11 of home attendances ! Only outlier is Sheffield United(who are top). I would say this is not good news because remaining away games are at grounds with larger home attendances which typically are harder to do well at.

If anyone wanted to be pessimistic on this season , back in 2010/11 on 4th Dec we had the same points and same games played and were 5th. By the end of the season we had won only 4 more games and finished on 55 in 17th spot.

It is a hard league but pretty sure that wont happen again, the team is too good and whole atmosphere at club is much better.

Can’t do much worse than we have so far

22k sold is great. More than this stage for Birmingham and Derby. With the average 2000 walk-ups, it could top 25k. Outstanding.

West Brom's biggest attendance this season was against Birmingham, 24,800. We may top that which would send us into 3rd for the highest attendances per club. Forest are second with 27,900.

Going in hospitality for this, Christmas present for my Grandad. We brought him to the Middlesbrough game for his birthday, which he’d said would be his last (92 and not that mobile anymore) but he enjoyed it so much he asked to come again.

Considering how much the FA Cup win meant to him, I’m glad he can pay his respects to Sillett too.

Still loads behind the goal left, I think we've hit our ceiling with around 20k home fans and that's the same from our premiership days, we are in the top 6 at home in a local derby on a day to celebrate the life of John Sillett, it would be an achievement to push that 20k up to 25k on a regular basis.

Probably down to the Sky, early kick off and £30.

The real test will be the Millwall and Luton games which are cheaper and not on TV.

Hate this talk of ‘ceilings’- there is no such thing.

We had 19k home fans in the latter years of the Premier League because there were no more tickets available, no other reason.

The only ceiling to how many people will want to go to games is how well the team does. Will take time but support is growing.

We had just over 20k home fans in a midweek game against Peterborough didn't we so I doubt 20k is our ceiling

We have quite a cynical bunch of fans outside of the ones who already go each week- and that’s not a dig in the slightest- you can hardly blame them after all the shit that’s gone on. But if there’s a whiff of a playoff place come the end of the season we’ll easily shift 25k home tickets.

Even now, even on here, there is still a disbelief that we’ll maintain this playoff push (and again, totally understandable), but if it gets to the point where there genuine belief & confidence that “we can do this”- we’d start to get an idea of what type of support we can attract.
