I wonder what attendance level was used by the Club for its budget this season?  It’s hard to imagine it would have been more than 5,000.

We’ve sold over 6,000 for tomorrow night.  If tickets are maybe sold at £15 on average that’s another £15k for not much extra cost and maybe more on top from food, drink and programmes.  I realise it’s unlikely to get to 6000 every week but if it did, with 20 more home games that’s a £300k more income which could fund 2-3 more quality players in January.

Good points. 6000 for a Tuesday night is absolutely unbelievable!

I'm gutted I can't make tomorrow due to prior commitments but that's fantastic numbers. If we can get the home end full and rocking, it will be a big boost for the players. Particularly as that air of negativity that was always bubbling under the surface at BP seems to have dissipated.

I would imagine so, but I doubt they will bring more than 500, so that means the home fan numbers are growing, especially considering it's a night game.

Strange how we're able to sell more tickets for an evening game when a lot of exiles who can usually make a Saturday game won't be able to get back for it.

Mind you, a winning team certainly helps. Good signs already that we're attracting fans back to BP.

Issued tickets is very different to attending fans. Lots of exiles with STs who might not make it back. 5,500 would still be very good.

The 6,000 figure includes season tickets, so that's an extra 3,000 on the night.

I've never really thought  about this, which of the two is reported as the actual attendance for a match?
