Okay, I'll give the book answer.

If all else is being equal to the opponent then it boils down to one thing.

Creative scepticism.

There’s a very big distinction to be made between “best player” and “most naturally gifted on the ball”. Bright comes nowhere near our best player atm but he’s quite naturally gifted on the ball. Only problem is his shite attitude. Genuinely think the lad would rather be shoveling down curry and tika masala in his flat than show up to training, he just can’t be arsed.

Saw it mentioned at the weekend that they have sold about 2.5K with 1,300 left from their allocation. Just a random Forest fan on Twitter though, so might be a few days out of date.

they have less than 600 left of their 3880 allocation and they don't go on general sale until tomorrow, so will be interesting to see if we give them some more.

Should be a decent crowd then as our ticket sales on both sides look pretty good but not so many behind the goal. I guess walkups will go behind the goal though.

Here’s where we stand in the ‘all time list’

Before sixfields, League Two and St Andrews we were 1,000 higher and sitting just behind Forest. We are the only club in our ‘class’ to have seen a reduction- a big one too thanks to the way the club has been managed.

I don't think we would. Same as we wouldnt take 2000 for a friendly at Wolves.

Suppose we’ll see how many we take to Barnsley, they cater for up to 5,000 I think

We probably would. We are significantly better supported away than at home.

But this is my issue with it. If historically we can average 17k. Why is it looking like we won't hit that figure for one of the most unique fixtures in the clubs history?

As I have said before, beyond reasons such as work, affordbility etc. How could anyone who considers themselves a Cov fan not do almost anything to get to this match?

Not unique is it? I’d imagine if you aren’t following it there’s an element of “been here before they’ll probably fuck off again shortly”. Last time it felt like the end of something then they did indeed fuck off again.

Think there’s a lot of people still finding their way back into the world post lockdown too.

It will be above 17k, unless you mean just CCFC fans?

Agreed.

I also think people have to realise that whilst the summer holidays work in terms of attending games for some people they don't work for others. Lots of people are away on staycations, or with the easing of lockdown spending time with family/friends.

Isn't it? We've just spent the last 16 months not being able to go to the football. Nearly 3 years since playing league football in Coventry. 10 years since the last Championship match in Coventry.

If that doesn't wet your appetite to go, I dread to thing of the drop in crowds for games like Reading and Luton.

Because I think most can agree our home crowds haven't been good for a long time, if ever, yet in recent years we've always sold well for away games. We pretty much doubled our average away following when we were relegated from the Championship.

True, but how many teams have brought 4k+ like Forest?

The Gillingham and Crewe games were £5/£10 a ticket. If it was £30 like Sunday we would have got nowhere near 30,000

Unfortunately, we don’t have 20,000 or 25,000 fans interested at £30 a ticket. Maybe if it was £10 or £15 which I thought they would have done for the first game back

If it was £20, what do you think the gate would have been?

As you said, we don't have 20k fans interested. They literally only go when at Wembley, playing Chelsea or £5 a ticket.

Maybe a few more but not substantial. I’m sure even the Leeds game about 2010 when we had 28k with 6k Leeds fans they had to put an offer on

To be fair, I don't think they did that day. The bandwagon wad fully rolling at that point.

We are pretty unique. Part of it was those years in the prem when nothing of interest happened until the end of the season- first game isn’t really traditionally a bumper crowd. We tend to get our bigger crowds later in the season.
