Not wierd at all
Some people go no matter how shit we are or how bad the owners treat us.
Some people pick their games , Wembley isnt a bad one to pick.
Weirdly, in the six games we've played at home this season we've still attracted less than that one game at Wembley...which proves they'll turn up when they can be arsed to.

That's why I said "relative".
We were shit when we went to Wembley and had the same owners.
If you seriously can't understand how a cup final is different to a normal game, you're beyond hope.
That is correct Nick but its still not wierd to want to go to wembley.We were shit when we went to Wembley and had the same owners.
I thought it was a decent match. Carlisle tried to play football, we played some nice stuff. The ref was pretty good too. Not much to complain about last night.We won great was it good football no,
We have never averaged 8k when playing in Coventry since the First World War. Yes in Northampton.Exactly. I remember going in the 80's and 90's and we averaged about 8K.
We've never averaged that amount since 1928..Exactly. I remember going in the 80's and 90's and we averaged about 8K.
It is no different if the reason people don't go to the normal game is the standard of football.
...but a cup final of any nature isn't a "normal " game is it ? We got to a cup final in spite of the owners and in spite of our standard of football. 43,000 went despite SISU and impending relegation. Why ? It was at Wembley, it was sheer escapism from the crap of league football, it was nostalgic for many and it was a bloody good day out in London.It is no different if the reason people don't go to the normal game is the owners or standard of football.
Sometimes you get mutton dressed up as lamb...To be fair, wolves can be sometimes if they wear sheep's clothing.
People forget one thing...the price.
If you wanted to go last minute and pay on the gate it was a staggering TWENTY FIVE POUND to get in last night.
For 4th division football, with Juve-Barca on the telly. Way to put off the floating fan who wants to watch local live football.
Who wants to watch Juve-Barca?
Loads of people. Two of the best teams in the world facing off early season.
Remember im talking about the 'shall I shan't I' fans, not the hardcore fans. Its an awful lot of money.
Isn't it the same price to go and watch Barnet or Yeovil. Wednesday charge away fans something like £50 a pop, I bet if we were in the championship we'd sell a fair number there. Money isn't really a deciding factor, people just don't want to watch league 2 football.People forget one thing...the price.

Each to their own. Can't think of anything more boring.

Was that the season we had to reduce the playing budget because not enough extra revenue was generated by the reduced prices. FWIW I would support any pricing strategy that could give the manager funds to get us out of this shit league, and the one above.My point is we make it ever so hard for fans to just pay on the gate and go in. It's lower league football. It should be dead easy. For some reason, we penalise the very people we should be encouraging to watch. Wasn't midweek games like £17 (cheaper than Saturday's) a few years ago?
I doubt many POTG yesterday...
I really don't know why people get so worked up over attendances.
On 29th Feb 1992 we got 23,967 v Man U and 4 days later we got 8,549 v Norwich.
I don't recall people moaning about where the 15k fans had gone.
I do remember that the Norwich game was the fourth 0-0 on the trot and was absolutely awful...not the best football under Don Howe...
exactly. We have packages to reduce costs if its money that's the motivator.
The majority of people didn't go because they didn't want to
many on here will tell you at least two of our recent games will have fit that category. We even had a "worst I have seen in 50 years comment"
You don't sell a Mini expecting a Rolls Royce payment. Product first, then payment.
It isn't a rolls royce payment, it's the same as the other minis.
OK! You bought a brand new car 10 years ago, and are now trying to sell it at the price you bought it for.
No, it's being sold at the same price range as the others on Auto Trader pretty much.
