Charlton's crowds certainly fluctuate!

 https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fixtures/_/date/2021001126

Hugely impressive attendance from Wrexham. 19k+!

That can't be right as it only holds 10k increasing to 16k when the new stand goes in.  

Edit:  9,118 according to other sources which makes more sense.

Yeah, they have something like 7k season ticket holders

Okay that makes more sense. Still not too shabby.

Wrexham definitely a club with the feel good factor now they have massive investment.

The same thing happened at Lincoln, the crowds there went up significantly when they got promoted back into the football league

The Wrexham love in from randoms  :puke:

Not from down these parts🙄

No love in from me, I would like to see them fail despite Hollywood money. Their crowds are impressive though.

Horrible fans known for attacking away supporters down the side streets before and after games.

Beat league one Gas today.

Only thing we have beat recently.

Attendances= league points?

the thread title should be a clue

Exactly Batch!

It's hard to see anything changing.

In 10 yrs time attendances at grounds will mean nothing. 

 The PL aren't really interested in bums on seats as its international markets that count. In the lower leagues most will 'consume' the product on the internet.

Attendances at grounds mean alot to elderly supporters but soon most wont be bothered

I don't think the lower leagues can survive on internet streaming. Demand won't survive and the revenue isn't there

with a minimum of 100M prize money in the premier League bums on seats don't really matter now

How come your browsing the attendance thread if it isn't your thing? After all it was you who suggested that I open a separate thread after giving it some thought!

😂

I’m sure football grounds and going to football will even be a thing in 10 years.

Technology and a camera and you can stream to all your fans remotely anyway.
All you’d need a top grade 4G pitch, hell put it indoors as well. No postponements. Then you don’t have the cost of owning/renting land, owning/renting a stadium, maintenance, match workers, policing, stewards. In theory no cap on tickets you could sell (home or away)

Only thing you’d really lose out on is actual match day income from things like the car park, food and hospitality but I imagine you’d save more by not needing a stadium.

Saw this on another site and can't believe how low some of the crowds were.

Which would suggest crowds are increasing.

Exactly but also shows how far Chelsea and Man City have come with wealthy owners.

Ha ha ha- well done Jimmy jimmy, I am sure that you are very pleased with that

It was very good of you to follow my direction and create a thread. I did dip into that. If  I shouldnt have done you have my apologies

 All in good spirits steakey😀

My thought was that attendance numbers won't give people the jollies that they seem to do at the moment. Being able to stream on Saturdays may see streaming overtake physical attendances. With that, if the Crawley type approach ever took off in the lower leagues you may have more supporters who can only consume content on the net.

Look what hosting a football event did for German attendances, they never used to get anywhere near the crowds they get now.
Cheap tickets and bigger crowds would be great, but stupid salaries have put paid to that.

With Bradford playing away we had the highest in league 2

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fixtures/_/date/2021001226

Will only go down

For those interested

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fixtures/_/date/2021001229

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fixtures/_/date/20210010101

Blimey,  Oldham & Chesterfield both getting higher attendances (7,000+) than every game in league 2 except Bradford.

Even Woking v Aldershot was nearly 5,500

.

I see Reading's attendance is still plummeting. Hopefully they'll be back to their rightful place in League 2 before long.
Although they got more than Millwall today. Only just over 7000 watched them play Sheff Utd who must have brought a fair old whack too.

Wrexham are averaging about 10k as well.

It goes to show the season ticket holders aren't interested and the FA set the ticket prices way too high.

Plastic fan base melting.

Their like the 70's local rival that disappeared, they never get mentioned like the Bristol clubs & Oxford.

It's difficult to maintain a local rivalry with a club you don't get to play games against.

Which is why Reading are so desperately forcing rivalries with teams. Their traditional rivals are Aldershot.

Don't forget Woking!

Depends how far you want to cast the net. You could include High Wycombe. I suppose how far do you wish to expand the radius?

I would imagine QPR is their biggest game now Brentford are in the promised land.

So I’m not disputing your statement. However, are you 100% sure ‘why Reading are so desperately forcing rivalries with teams?’ Can you expand on who ‘Reading’ are? The club? Or the fans?

I’m not trying to be a pedantic twat. Allegedly being a Right Wing Facist & Racist Tory Cunt I don’t need to be. I do like to at times drill down to where statements originate from. In this case I doubt it is the Guardian, Independent, Daily Mirror or any Far Left rag. I’ve not read anything in the Big Issue I purchase from the poor East European lady who sells them where I work

Looking at Reeding as a club AKA the catchment area and the ground it makes me think about our beloved STFC. In our wildest dreams with what we have in terms of catchment area, footprint (yes that means the ground, T/E car parke etc) what can we achieve? We’ve been in the PL once. Look what it did to us.. I’d say on what I have said puts us just ahead of Bournemouth.

Assume we become a Wiltshire version of Reeding, how long is that going to take? How much money? Where is that coming from?

I realise my post has moved on a bit from the post I was referring to but over the last few weeks I have been asking myself a lot of questions about my blind loyalty to this club.

The fans of Reading. They're essentially Rival-less. I'm not even sure if they've played the pheonix club of their traditional rivals Aldershot.

Spotty virgin Reading fans who weren't even born the last time we played them sing about us. Its.....weird.

You can be a pedant but not have dodgy political views that may not represent your class interests.

Thank you and fuck off 😉

Superb crowd today

More than Luton, Rotherham in the Championship.

Only 3 clubs in L1 got more today, Bolton, Charlton and Ipswich.

More home fans than Oxford had against Arsenal  :girlgiggle:

To put it in perspective I thought Rotherham's was a good attendance so you can see what potential we have.

I like that :clap:

To be fair their ground was full, and it was on free to air TV wasn't it?

Crawley fans turned up in numbers to greet Lindsey😀

Bloody Hell. :eek:

Championship- Reading vs Rotherham- 9492  :horse:

National League- Wrexham vs Woking - 10030  :bandwagon:

It's crazy what money can achieve!

I think Wrecham have always retained fairly good attendances considering the time they have spent outside the league.

I'm sure Wrob and Wryan identified this when considering which club they wanted to take up the pywramid. No wrash decisions, I'm sure. The Wracecourse ground was always going to be the obvious wroute to success  ::)

10k is pretty much a full house there isn't it?

What, 3K?

For our sake we could do with Wrexham not being in Lg2 next season.

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fixtures/_/date/20210010218

I see Stockpot had 3k fans in a 4.6k crowd at Rochdale last night  ;D

It's only about 12-13 miles away for the away team so not really surprised

It's absolutely shocking that Bournemouth are in the Premier League with an 11.2k Stadium. But still couldn't fill it v Liverpool  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
