More than 14K for last night. We had more than that for meaningless league games last season. The Mowbray season we had 15K and 16K for night games against Burton and Walsall which weren't nearly as crucial as last night.

Edit, Burton was a Saturday and was 17K.

Wonder what the overall season average would be.

About 14/15000 with the same league position obviously I reckon

I doubt it. As wasps are founding out it’s an awful location and a deterrent to go

We had 16.5K against Sunderland for a12.30pm kick off on TV when we were 14th in the table. Can't believe people think we'd get less than that with the season we're having.

As history tells us though It's understandable because our attendances have been hard to predict

My point of reference for modern times is always the play-off 1st leg...

ATTENDANCE: 17,404 (2,756 away).

Which was a TV game also.

So 12-15k (high end for large away support) for both games would seem about right.

Ah I am thinking of the Scunthorpe game.

I don't think it would have been much more than that one, Sunderland brought a fair few that day I think.

9K at home to Sunderland? And why the play-off game as a benchmark? That is a game at short notice with no ST holders so is from a standing start. The lowest crowd of the season at Sunderland last season was their play-off semi.

It’s not easy though. Parking is poor - Birmingham has street parking and either you pay or you really struggle. I’d never ever get the train or a bus to town it’s laughable. The gradual erosion in attendances there is due to location as well as form - if we had a Central ground like the Butts it would be a far better proposition for the casual fan

Well yes, was working on the assumption they'd do so again.

So our home attendance would be the same or slightly more? Isn’t there some issue with trains or logically more would go from there to Birmingham than Coventry

I reckon a good 15k last night and 20k+ Sunday including away fans, we had 17k against port vale a few seasons ago when we were in play offs, December game aswell.

Agree with the last point, but there is no continual erosion in attendances. Crowds went up in 2016, down in 2017, up in 2018 and up again last season. Its fair to say we'd have seen a decent increase this season given how it has panned out.

I’m talking about general erosion once the new stadium factor ended and casuals drifted away

There’s not. Crowds have been pretty consistent with success for years pre and post Ricoh.

They haven’t crowds rose significantly in the first few years purely as it was a new stadium - we had 25,000 against Colchester when mid table

Point of reference is not a benchmark... but I get your point and anyways... there is no real point getting bent out of shape about it as we are not there... so, for the ones that do attend, enjoy the ride until May!
