Attendance on saturday v Hornchurch

[michael]

Last nights win;and todays news should help on saturday-hope there is plenty of MFC news in the paper on friday to accompany it.

 

In the main, good results will bring the attendances back a bit .

 

I'm particularly interested in the comparative attendances on saturday though, with Margate,Ramsgate and Whitstable all playing at home

[BlueGate Alan]

The Urchins will bring about 30 or so so that will help.

[Pagey]

[BlueGate Alan]

[Ian_Sanderson]

495

[BlueGate Alan]

Like to think so Ian but might be a bit lower than that, we do have some fickle fans, like Ramsgate do too.

Michael, I don't think the 5 supporters at Ramsgate will affect our attendance too much, lol!

[BlueGate Alan]

The Margate ones who go to Ramsgate when we are away will affect theirs though Steve!

[Eastside Urchin]

We have 19 booked on the coach with the players,6 spaces left so could be 25,should be another 30-40 going by car/train,maybe more

Get the beers in for the mentalist

I dont want to come across as a party pooper like, but something keeps rankling me with this fixture. It was changed from a Tuesday night to a Saturday. Correct me if i'm wrong (i'm sure you will), but i'm sure it's always more of an advantage for a home team on a Tuesday, even more so than a Saturday.

 

At the time it of making the decision to change the fixture it suited us to go along with it. Form was poor as we know. Now we've had a win. Confidence will be higher. If it was Tuesday night approaching, away team players having to have the extra hassle knocking off work and making a relatively long trip, getting to the ground in a fluster and all. Giving them the Saturday instead seems to me to be over generous in hind sight.

 

Don't get me wrong, us and Hornchurch fans have a good relationship. But, when it comes to taking the advantage in this cut throat football world, mates don't/shouldn't come into it.

 

I hope TY has made sure only the cold taps work in the showers in the home dressing room for Saturday

 

Attendance 480

 

Score 2-1

We'd get a bigger crowd on a Saturday. Plus now you've got all the Champions League nights coming up and that definitely hits attendances at non-league level. As for the travelling, plenty of our players live/work in London so I'm not sure there is any advantage playing midweek.

That told me! Lol. Points i hadn't considered. Only the one thing i thought of, couldn't we have rearranged someone else? It's not like Hornchurch bring that many is it?

[Broadstairs Dave]

I believe Bluegate Alan and other contributors to the fans forum shout box actually sponsored this fixture last year. The bar looks forward to seeing them all again as does the 50/50 draw and the meat raffle.Welcome to Hartsdown.

 

attendance say 475

[Eastside Urchin]

we're a bunch of p1ssheads who spend our entire weeks wages at a game of footy on a saturday.

I took it to extremes last year when i spent an entire months wages before,during and after the game in margate and then had to get my ageing father to pick me up at 1pm from a margate stewards house because i missed the last train home and ferry me home because my girlfriend had to be up at 7am to go on a motorcycle rally(she was with me and not happy,bless!)

[MummyBunny]

oh dear rob!!! lol It should be a good day out for you and a good match for both our teams. I shall be there nice and early in the bar for once mines a vodka and diet coke lol

Up the 'Gate

It's not like Hornchurch bring that many is it?

I think the Urchins have a better following than most .Even if they only bring 30-50 that is still a good following when you consider they too are not doing so well. It's still a fair trek for them.
