Away at Monte Darlo would have been a good excuse for a weekend in the north-east of England (then stand outside ground for the match). Do they still have their white elephant ground?
I remember 4 trips there in consecutive seasons & not scoring once! Including a missed penalty I think.
We lost 0-3 there in League Cup, only to go through after 4-0 second leg win.
From another thread:
Please STFC put some resources & emphasis on a cup run this season. It creates extra interest in the club & will be a pipeline of future fans. Additionally how about the following incentives....
First Round Proper winners (40) £22,629
Second Round Proper winners (20) £34,000
Third Round Proper winners (32) £82,000
Fourth Round Proper winners (16) £90,000
Fifth Round Proper winners (Cool £180,000
Quarter-Final winners (4) £360,000
Semi-Final winners (2) £900,000
Semi-Final losers (2) £450,000
Final runners-up (1) £900,000
Final winners (1) £1,800,000

Their manager reckoned that without Covid they’d bring 1500-2000 fans down.
I know it’s a moot point, but that seems highly unlikely.

They never even used to get that attendance at home when they were in the league, highly unlikely considering as well its a round trip of over 500 miles. |

Looking on the tinterweb they seem to have been averaging c1500 at home last season till the shit hit. Worth bearing in mind that their last few years in the league were a total shit show where the fans had fallen out of love with the club after a succession of dodgy owners and the whole ground farce. Albeit not remotely believing they would bring 1500 down to Wiltshire. |

Oh there is often a "feel good factor" around phoenix clubs, I do remember several games against them in the old Div 4 in the 80s when they never had much more than 1,500 at any game vs Town at home and one crowd barely broke 1,000 home fans. |
