Went with a Yeovil fan on Sunday to the olympics at the Ricoh

"i honestly cant believe that Yeovil will be playing a league game here this season, my how you have fallen"

He went on to say "will it be full most weeks?"

:facepalm:

I'm sure it will be full when the mighty Yeovil and their huge following are visiting the RICOH

Good question to be fair - if we start dominating the division and winning at home most weeks (yes, I know it is a big "if"), are we likely to at least see higher crowds than season??

ccfcway · Jul 31, 2012

than last season ?

I really am not sure

we are League One now, and we will have a decent attendance for a League One team.

We have the 2nd largest Stadium and could have the 2nd largest attendance, as we will not get to Sheff Utd for attendance, and 2nd is likely to be Preston with 11k perhaps ?

If Portsmouth survive they will be circa 13k

I would say if we are doing well we could get 15-18k possibly, by well I mean like top 4 for most of the season

SOunds about right although I reckon closer to 18K than 15k if we are top 4 all season. The fans will soon return to support a winning team, if only for the sheer novelty of it.

Graham Realité: he's a French LB we have on trial, fitting our target requirements of having a plain English first-name

We will get some good numbers of away fan tourists for the first season at least as the Ricoh is a fantastic stadium at that level.

We have enough French already.

What a lot of people need is a Realité Czec

The problem is some of them take less than 100 to away games, so 250 would be a massive away following to them

Of course he's French, we're trying to build a defence made up entirely of Frenchmen with English first-names here!

Ground Ricoh Arena, Coventry
(Capacity: 32,609[2])
Ground Bramall Lane
Sheffield
(Capacity: 32,702

In my book they are the same size

CJparker · Jul 31, 2012

But one is a football ground and one is an "arena"
