billericay v afc wimbledon

[The Observer]

what sort 0f attendance are we expecting for this game. 2000?

[c'mon ricay]

Well Braintree got 1,950 but then they are going for the league title but it would be around an extra hours travelling for AFC fans so I reckon around 1,800

[Ryan.c]

I'd guess, 1000 Blues + 650 Wombles = 1650

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

How many Blue's are going to the Cup final?

 

Being midweek and away, 6/700ish??

 

As for the Fish I'd like to say 300 but 150 is probably more realistic ;-(

 

Shameful really...

[Ryan.c]

At a guess Joe, I'd say 500/600.

Bring whatever you can!

[Fish_Fan_Joe1]

I'm trying to talk my Mother into attending at the minute...

 

Talk about scrapping the barrel..!

Ryan,

 

Not trying to take the p*** but if you average about 500 home fans every week why would you get 1,000 for the Wimbledon game. Whats the fascination??

[Ryan.c]

Why did an above average number of Chelmsford supporters travel to Wimbledon? Why did you get 2998 against us but only 502 v Hendon? It's an occasion Sean. Wimbledon are a draw, some of those people who can't attend as often as they would like will probably fancy this game. I think the answer is a little obvious.

[sean]

1) Because its the only time we will get to see a 2000+ crowd all season (apart from at home <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

 

2) Because we hadnt played a gams in Chelmsford for 8 years and obviously a lot of people wanted to go and watch the game as a one off. Remember we successfully leafleted a large area as well.

 

3) Wimbledon are a draw. Nah I'd go for an away win <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />

 

In other words you have 500 Carltons turning up Saturday

[Ryan.c]

1. We both know Wimbledon home or away will attract more people.

2. Exactly Sean, it was an occasion, people wanted to be part of it.

3. We'll see!

 

In other words there are far more than 500 Blues fans out there <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Balmoral Claret]

"In other words there are far more than 500 Blues fans out there"

Yes indeed - it's just that they all choose to stay at home on a Saturday afternoon for 20 out of the total 21 matches played during a season.

and presently 1800 chelmo are doing the same BC <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> unfourtunately it is a fact of footballing lives for all of us. But as long as the real fans turn up for most games then our clubbs are winners as at least we do have good support even without the once a yearers. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Balmoral Claret]

Quite right Keith.

In my opinion (may be wrong), the analysis of the "Chelmo" current home support is roughly as follows:-

Hard core (never miss a game) = 500

Fair weather (won't go of it's too cold) = 300

Good results (the lads are on a decent run at the moment) = 250

Good opposition (the lads are crap, but today's visitors - WOW!) = 250

Local derby (let's put one over that mob next door) = 300

Band Wagon (something good MAY be about to happen) = 500

First game back in town (I'll be able to say "I was there") = 1,398

Billericay 3 - 2 AFC

 

Red lion breakfast at 1, £3 for a very nice sized fry up. anyone intrested?

[Trueblue06]

My colleague at work who in the past has even been on the Chelmo screen to volunteer his services for the roro erection! has said today he is fed up with the crap at Chelmo and will go somewhere else to watch footy tomorrow. So one of us will gain a supporter.

[Balmoral Claret]

"fed up with the crap at Chelmo and will go somewhere else to watch footy tomorrow"

Wise decision - the Clarets are away at Hendon.
