Title: Attendence Saturday
Post by: my-velocity on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 11:36:23
I think there'll be about 8,000 - 9,000 which'll be good for the club. We won last night with 7,000 fans watching which is always good as it'll attract more people to go to the next match.

given it's a Saturday on the back of 2 wins at the start of the season I can see another 500 making their way along to have a sniff.

Agree with Rob - I'd say it'll be around the 8,000 mark.

Had to fear the worst at 1-0 down to Barnet didn't you...it was'big crowd/ticket promotion' syndrome all over again.

Hopefully saturday we can put a classy performance in to match the classy goals!

rochdale will probably bring less than barnet, so i'd say around 7,500 again

Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 15:57:01
I will go for 8000 as well

This game could be the one where the team flops in true Swindon style though!

Rochdale have really bad away crowds, they'll bring 150 max.

I'm gonna go for 7,700.

What's the old magic break even figure on the gate this season, anyone?


Title: Attendence Saturday
Post by: SwindonStevo on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 17:16:57
probably 5,500

I reckon 7,900 for Saturday. Midweek games normally have slightly lower attendances than weekend games and Barnet didn't bring that many with them. I reckon there will be a slight increase even if Rochdale don't bring much support.

Midweek games tend to be worse than saturdays mainly because of the away support, but Rochdale wont bring hardly any. On the home support, midweeks are usually pretty good, because so many lads seem to want to play 3pm on a saturday. Never really understood it myself, park football at age 22/23 isnt going anywhere, its just an team park football, so might as well play on the sunday. So many jobs make employees work on saturdays as well now. Hate it.

7000 for me. Which is still tremendous when you consider that under King in 03-04 we didnt get 7000 home crowds until well into the promotion push.

I'm sure it'll be 8000+, if so many people could hear the cheering outside in their gardens then there'll be a few intrigued and will come along, also many Swindon fans live outside the town so are more likely to make weekend matches.

Just hope the extras don't all piss off again once we have a blip.

saturday league football is class, completely different to sundays. but nothing beats watching town.

7,800

Its very good concidering we were only getting 5 and a half last season near the end. We've had a great start to this season and I hope it continues. Lets hope we can turn the county ground into a fortress, a feared away visit from all the other league 2 clubs  :twisted:

I'll say 7,950.

I hope it's a big one. I also hope that they don't run out of Bovril that Sade is going to buy me.

Will some fans afford to go to 2 games in a week?

Anything above 7,000 will do me!


Title: Attendence Saturday
Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, August 10, 2006, 11:24:38
I remember back in 92-93 season when 8,000 was a low gate!

17,000 against Newcastle was pure ace.

Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, August 10, 2006, 11:39:12
Looking at these league one fixtures, i think we'll have a bigger gate than most of these clubs let alone league 2!

League 1
15:00 Blackpool  -  Rotherham  
15:00 Bradford  -  Gillingham  
15:00 Brighton  -  Brentford  
15:00 Cheltenham  -  Port Vale  
15:00 Chesterfield  -  Millwall  
15:00 Doncaster  -  Tranmere  
15:00 Huddersfield  -  Bristol City  
15:00 Leyton Orient  -  Bournemth  
15:00 N'hampton  -  Nottm Forest  
15:00 Oldham  -  Swansea  
15:00 Scunthorpe  -  Crewe  
15:00 Yeovil  -  Carlisle

Northampton vs Forest will be a sell out whatever that is?

Huddersfield vs Shitheads will be 12-14 k

An 8k crowd would be amazing given our relagation.

Don't think we will maintain it if we go on a bad run, but even so.....


Title: Attendence Saturday
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, August 10, 2006, 12:28:10
no i dont think that either Batch. but if we keep winning we could get towards the 10,000 mark! fuck me did i say 10,000?  :shock:
