If SW had used last seasons crowds without that game when 27K turned up then the answer should be...Since returning to the Ricoh Arena, the club has managed to attract more than 11,000 supporters just four times - including September’s homecoming fixture against Gillingham. In 2015, the club only had one attendance above 11,000 - the last game of the season.
I would imagine the attendance needs to be higher as there's been a significant cut in ticket prices. So its either hope that increases attendance or cut the player budget.
up to fans to get off their arses and get up there
It is. If somebody claims to be a Coventry supporter and can't be arsed to go to games then by definition they aren't a supporter.
Good point.. anyway is Waggot making good decisions in your opinion? I think it is a bit hit & miss.
How many will be watching the games from the lounges etc with all the income going to WASPS?
It might sound strange, but I think the club lowering season ticket prices, was a poor move. I think bar maybe a few hundred, the people who have purchased their ST's would have done so at the same prices.
They would have been better lowering the matchday tickets, especially for students and youngsters.
Tell me if I am wrong, but isn't is a bit stupid to base a prediction on a number significantly higher than last seasons average crowd (and I would remove the Gillingham crowd from the calc myself as it skews the reality).
If SW had used last seasons crowds without that game when 27K turned up then the answer should be...
Last Season - Total attendance 214.633 games 23 average 9.332
Realistic average = (214.633-27,306)/22 = 8514, plus a bit for luck, say 8,750
Go figure...

I disagree Lee, I had a season ticket from the late eighties up until the season we got relegated from the Championship, I am now only averaging 10-15 games a season due to the fact that the standard of football is poor and the incompetent fools who run our club
I thought the club got a percentage of the F&B's and sold hospitality packages themselves including meals?
So by definition you are less of a supporter than you used to be. Unless your personal circumstances have changed which isn't suggested in your post.
They've lowered the matchday prices as well haven't they?
Well you would probably know better than me !
You have to include the gillingham game as your calculation includes 2 Sixfields matches.

I cannot find the article but somewhere I have read CCFC keep their agreed share of the concourse income
The deal above relies heavily on WASPS filling the lounges so they are squeezing CCFC out ( as reported by SW ) to help repay the Compass deal
