17,000 average attendance is pretty good considering the population of the town was a lot lower then. Football attendances everywhere were higher then tho weren't they? Less choice in terms of entertainment and much cheaper ticket prices.
What do think the average attendance will be this season we have some clubs coming that will have a big following

I dunno what was average last season? It'll be a bit higher than last season cos we've sold more season tickets.

Brighton might bring a decent number as it's the first day. Then there's Southampton and Wednesday who'll bring a lot. Beyond them there aren't many who'll even bring 1500 I dont think. Plymouth might bring a few to one of their more local games, but the Rovers game is on TV, Charlton don't bring many, and I'm not sure how many Bournemouth and Yeovil will bring.

I don't ever recall anyone referring to Swindon as a "football town" in the first place.

17,000 is incredible for a small football club in 1960's Wiltshire.

Seeing we've never had a sustained amount of time in the first division, and over half of the time in the bottom two divisions in the last 40 odd years, i'd say our support is pretty bloody good. I wonder how many fans the likes of southampton and sheffield wednesday would get if they had spent the same amount of time in the lower leagues.

I know it's replying to trolling, but.... does anyone believe any of our attendances before a couple of years ago, old ground, but stick 50% on every seasons average and that would be nearer.

I agree with your comments here is to the next 40 years for southampton in the lower leagues

My Family came Soufff from Newcastle and my dad encouraged me to support the local team i think the issue is more murdochs channel and the way they market their product
Plus if Swindon are succesful the support will come back latter part of last season gates went up
