They had a boost at the time of their ground redevelopment. Went straight to their supporters' heads, as I recall. They couldn't make it last, and now they're returning to their natural level. I have always considered Plymouth to be roughly on a par with ourselves in terms of potential. As Sutton says, Reading seem to have made their jump up more permanent. There's a lesson there, somewhere.

About 20 people turned up to tonights Q&A in the legends... Almost more staff and players than punters. I didn't know it was on. This is the first I've heard of it. Although I probably wouldn't have been able to go even if I had known. Was it any good? (Attendance aside)

We seem to be doing quite well in terms of attendances at the moment. 5th highest on average in the league at the moment behind sheff w, soton, charlton and hudds. http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D2/attend.htmlIm sure it will come down from there but its not far from 10k at the mo.

I cannot remembering them advertising last nights Q&A over the tannoy at the Saints game.
In regards to Plymuff's attendances, I'm not surprised. They got a bit of success, which got them bigger attendances, but now the bubble has burst, and they've gone as far as they can, the fans that jumped on the bandwagon, have stopped going.
I can remember them struggling to get attendances of 5k in the last 80's/90's.

Quite a few of them were Wednesday fans by the looks of it.
Very poor.
Great pic.

Very interesting that. You wouldn't expect us to be higher than those 4 but we're actually quite a distance ahead of the rest of the teams as well. I guess we have played Brighton and Saints and Brentford at home though all of whom took a fair few.

I'd guess it'll probably be between 7k-8k come end of season probably. Not too bad but room for improvement.
On the players talk night thing last night, only ready about it yesterday on the OS and it was too late then. In fact this leads me to a minor gripe, a fair few good things seem to happen a little late in the day at the moment.
For example, there is a couple of excellent ticket offers on now - buy two for £24 (plymouth/'uddersfield) , and season ticket holders can bring a guest to Plyymouth for half price.
I only heard about them yesterday, leaving little time to sort out taking up said offer should I wish.
Is it just me missing these announcements? - I should add I'm not in the habit of reading the OS regularily either (once a week or so). Maybe its that.

Nope, I'm with you Batch.
Basically these things get posted on the OS and unless you go looking for them - you miss them. I get all this information from the TEF. I like to attend these sorts of things but hear about them after they happened.

I only found out about the ticket offer by chance (mentioned on the bbc 606 website). Great deal, very gladly taken advantage of it but it was luck that I found out. That needs to improve.
Having said that I still think we will average over 8K over the year which is good.

You can get a newsletter via email too if you sign up. Unfortunately I rarely check certain personal accounts as it all tends to be spam.

Fact is Devon/Cornwall is finding the cash crisis situation very hard....money for football is first out the window in times of relative hardship.
Very true...not really checked but I get the feeling crowds are down a bit in most places this season. With the economy heading for the Coalition rocks, it will get worse before better.
