Average attendances for STFC

21/22 9,790
22/23 9,064
23/24 8,483
24/25 7,042 (to date)

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-two/attendances

The decline in attendance is in my view down to three factors:
1) First season a promotion push, which ended in the play offs, first 10 games, average was c8,500 then a lot higher towards the end of the season. Since then the football on the field has been getting worse and worse until IH has taken over, which would put many people off.
2) First season you had the feel good factor (post power) - which has well and truly worn off
3) The new sky tv deal + dodgy sticks being more available, it will mean less home and away fans

The 4th factor is clearly because of the ownership, not sure why a handful of people seem to totally ignore this. I do agree that it's not down to a single factor however.

It's been a long time since the Morfuni bucket hat goodwill express has left town.

I wonder how much these Clem shill accounts get paid.

Definitely comes straight out the admin expenses…

How many home games have been on Sky this season? I dont think it’s as many as you believe. I personally dont think it’s had an effect on attendances. 
Probably more than you think, guaranteed minimum of 20 games per season, although obviously not all at home.

You know you can actually say it explicitly right? Shit ownership is a big factor in the reduction in attendances. It’s the only reason myself and the other half didn’t renew our season tickets and is the same for quite a few.

You don’t need to be a club historian or whatever to know that fans are punch drunk from awful owners and having career criminals involved, consistently being lied to and treated with nothing but contempt has been the final straw for many!

I can say it in any way I want? I'm challenging the view that it's all to do with ownership (although they are to blame for the football as well)

Looks great, although a bit of a typo as “Clem” is missing from the signs that have been stuck on the countertop. 😉

Comparisons

Suggest you live in your little glass houses. Judging other people without ever achieving anything of worth except fucking moaning.   

Sorry to say people like you really make me mad You need to grow some balls and make things happen. Otherwise go back in your shell.

And yes, you know fool well my point made between the British PMs that I mentioned and Morfuni.

   

Shut the fuck up you absolute blithering idiot.

Wonder if they get paid extra to sound like the ramblings of an escaped mental patient.
