Refurbishment

[sdelaney2308]

Must say well done to Ashley the  board, Football Club, and Trust for the refurbishment of areas attended to of the ground at this time making it a welcoming venue to attend the latest photos look great.

Once the side areas and behind the goals are improved AP should be a top place to watch football.

Presumably work on these areas won't be started until this season has been completed.

I doubt any of those projects will be started unless we starting averaging 1,000+ on a very regular basis. But I’d love to see just one behind the goal stands renovated with all the metal terracing removed and proper steep concrete terracing built giving a much better viewing experience. Also would be handy having some facilities opposite the main stand just to even out the crowds/queues.

Possibly but it's been re-iterated by Ash that further improvements are already in the pipe line.

It will be difficult to average 1,000+ unless we continue to remain in the play-offs going for promotion or the title.

Even then to average 1,000+ will take some doing because of the lack of away support from some clubs and our floating supporters being selective in their match attendances.

We’ve had 1,200 at our last two league home matches against clubs that don’t have the bigger followings in our league, so I’m optimistic that we will average over 1,000 this season.

There do appear to be a lot more youngsters at matches this season, & it’s great to see the team acknowledging & engaging with the fans at the of the matches….. it seems to be creating a bond & a family atmosphere that people are starting to enjoy & return for.

Yes a couple of great attendances but possible reasons why.

Hemel are a local-ish club who were top of the league and I think we were third in the table.

The Tonbridge game was heavily advertised with Adam Aziz as a special guest for the opening of rebels.

Lets see how many turn up in our next home games against St Albans and Truro.

Attendance for St Albans was 730 but it was a mid week game.

Lets see how many we get against 3rd place Truro on Saturday.

Our current average league attendance sits at 937.

Truro getting great crowds at home but honestly don't know how many will travel up, hopefully a decent amount.

Having a great season and 3rd in the table but can't see it being more than a handful.
