Graham Cox Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 NLP gives Burnham attendance at home yesterday as 55...........seems unbelievable ! And SYCOB at 71......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorshamRebel Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That would include the directors from the away side as well as season ticket holders, so the number of people actually paying to get in on the day would be less than those numbers given.

Brighton on holiday Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Does it really include people who dont pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorshamRebel Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I would guess the attendance is the amount of people through the gate, be they paying, season ticket holders, or on the gate list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think it includes the players of both sides including subs plus Doris the tea lady and the stunning barmaids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Saw a clip of the Beaconsfield SYCOB game yesterday and I could count around 12 from what I could see of nearly 3 sides of the ground, so I was surprised to hear the crowd was in the '70's'.

Matt Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I am pretty sure the attendance number should include season ticket holders but exclude officials and directors from the two clubs, and any comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe what they meant was the 12 spectators were all in their seventies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelVilla Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I can confirm that there were 55 spectators at Burnham as I counted them. Due to working on Saturday until 2pm it was too far to drive to Stratford therefore Burnham provided my 'football fix'. I think that there were more people in the gym than there were watching the game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 So say £10 per head (over estimating and including any food/drink) x 55 = £550. Pretty sure their playing/management budget would be at least double that. Include officials' fees, staff, electrics and any other overheads you can see what they could be losing or needing to make from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorshamRebel Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 With concessions and youth prices the normal total average price falls between £6 and £8 for those actually paying attention the gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton on holiday Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Glen probably no different to most non league clubs, all struggling to make ends meet. You cant rely on gate money alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Of course Warren but a crowd of 55 can't support a Central Division club, I presume their other revenue streams are propping up the football but this will mean they'll struggle to ever make any money? You'd think once we get our ground their crowds will suffer further. Step 5 really is Burnham and SYCOB's level based on finances/support/potential.

You'd think once we get our ground their crowds will suffer further. Step 5 really is Burnham and SYCOB's level based on finances/support/potential. I don't think getting our own ground will have any affect on Burnham's 'crowd'. I think you've got to realise that Burnham is a small village and the people who follow Burnham have a small village mentality. By that I mean the vast majority of the people who go to watch Burnham only want to watch a game of football if it's on their doorstep or in their village and are not prepared or bothered to watch them when they play outside of the village. They are obviously being propped up by the gym events facilities that they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorshamRebel Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Before any one (non regular) decides to come on here to have a go at Glen. Here is an official definition of the place called Burnham "Burnham is a village and civil parish that lies north of the River Thames in the South BucksDistrict of Buckinghamshire, on the boundary with Berkshire, between the towns ofMaidenhead and Slough."

GlenSTFC Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I meant any casual fans who might watch Burnham could be tempted to watch us in our new ground. Same applies to any casuals who watch any of the other local sides I'm sure will pop along and who knows if they're impressed could become more regular?

3spirit Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If our new stadium gets built, gets over populated, and the admission/food prices then go through the roof. My right as an old git, by then, may think it would be rather quaint and nice to watch the 'village' teams of Beaconsfield and Burnham of leafy Buckinghamshire in empty stadiums ! LOL !
