I wonder if we could possibly hit 1,000 at the Dover match. Would be brilliant if possible.

[Chris]

Apparently the top team ill go up from our division with the teams positioned 2nd to 5th in play-off's for the final place. It's ganna be tough, but exciting division!

[Dominic]

Thats what i was hoping.

[Matt]

No reason why we can't hit 1,000 at Dover (so long as it's not on a Tuesday night !!). We would still take around 100 to the furthest of away games and possibly more given the old rivalry we had with them at Conference level. Really looking forward to the new season now !!

[Barry Scott]

las time we went to dover, i think we took 20 on a tuesday night. it's one of the strangest grounds in the league with a noticable slant

[Tuffley Rebel]

Hopefully our average crowd will improve because the teams above will probably bring more fans with them.

Apart from the bottom 4 the averages look alright. Take the derby out of the equation and W+E average drops to about 150.

[PJ-STFC]

I expect that all of the above results are 'skewed' by derby results.

 

Take the Windsor derby (680) from the Slough total, and the average becomes 305; and I expect that removing the Lewes v Worthing figures from their totals would have the same effect.

 

 

I am sure that average attendances at Stag Meadow will increase as a result of greater 'away' support, but what we should be concerned about is finding ways of increasing the 'home' support to match.

No wonder Hendon have refused a place in the Conference South with those gates.

 

On paper they should be the banker (fourth last season) but how many of their best players will want to stay at a club which chooses not to go up when it gets promoted?

[BFR]

I'm fairly sure there is more to it than just the gates. Otherwise there is no chance in hell that Ford/Redbridge FC could play in that division

[GarySTFC]

Having already lost their manager, I'm sure at least some of the players will follow him to AFC Wimbledon, and others may leave and move up to Conf. South level.

 

Would rule them out for a season at least whilst they sort themselves out.
