Pre-season has gone well, we have signed some top players and confidence amongst even the pessimistic of fans is sky high.
We start off on Saturday against a localish side who are also tipped to do well. I expect them to bring around 1,500.
So, Are we going to get a crowd approaching 10k on Saturday? We've sold around 6k season tickets apparently so the minimum we should be getting is 8k.
Thoughts?

Brighton expect to bring 3k... If they do, which we all know they won't, then 12k, if not about 10k.

Despite my optimism for the season, I'm not optimistic when it comes to attendances. I don't quite know what else Fitton and Wilson can do to get the fans in but I'll go with 8500 for Saturday with 1500 being queer.

Its gay pride weekend in Brighton. 3k is highly optimistic.

Be the standard formula ST holders. 5600+ 2000 on the day+ Away=9300

I think we'll make 5 figures for this game.

At this level, our attendances are just fine. As yet, we have not managed promotion to the Championship and neither have we had our ground redevelopment. Both of these will see attendances really take off. To be pushing 5 figure attendances for a significant proportion of our games in this league is a massive achievement. Let's not forget that there were times during the last (or should that be 'lost') decade when we didn't even hit 5,000.

I agree with this comment however "the lost generation of young people" are starting to follow Swindon again, after a good season therefore i suggest 10500
