Surely time to start looking at temporary seating if not already doing so given the issues that will no doubt need to be resolved before that came happen. If VCwr start well it would be very happy unfortunate if we were turning people away. If Lincoln can go from 3000 to 9000 in a year why can’t we?

Quoted from Poojah


Around 300 in the upper are reserved for directors, corporate and comps, so you can probably deduct that from the total available. In that case circa 1,700 new ST’s out of around 2,600 sales in total wouldn’t surprise me.

Out of the first 1,200 or so sold, I think the club stated around 800 were new; about the same in percentage terms.

I really do think this could be the summer where the hairs finally begin to stand up on the back of our necks.


STs aren’t available in the director box block.

I'm sure we will be looking at every avenue available to us.

I think the temporary seats will have to be covered though as it is an unpleasant experience sitting in the pouring rain.

I wonder if covered temporary seating could accommodate away fans if we limit their numbers leaving the whole of the Osmond for us? Probably too quick a turn around to consider drastic measures like that but certainly it would seem a good investment to have covered temporary seating asap to give us more options.

Lincoln have bought a 400 seat covered stand that fits in between the Stacey West and the small side stand. We averaged 5.7k with 3.4k STH last season. Overall away fan average no's was what? Maybe 250-300 at most? So we averaged 2k home walk-ups per game. Similar to Lincoln actually with 6k STH. If we get to 5k STH, on that basis, accommodation for 7k home fans would be needed to avoid turning people away for most home games.

That being my very point; those seats would need to be deducted from the total home capacity of 6,670. In effect, you’re working backwards from a figure closer to 6,370 to establish how many tickets have either been sold or are currently being held for existing ST holders.

If that’s already accounted for then c. 2,000 new ST’s does seem a little on the high side but it wouldn’t shock me either. It’s feels unlikely that the club would have had a system in place to block out tickets for general match day sale as it’s quite literally never been an issue before in our history, and I doubt the sheer level of demand would have been foreseen two or three weeks ago.

I would imagine we’ll get an official update from the club tomorrow, but one thing is for sure this is going to be a record breaking year for season ticket sales by some considerable margin.

This will of course be 100% accurate and isn’t in any way complete guesswork.


I never said it was, no need to shoot the messenger

289.68 which was heavily skewed by the 3 clubs who bought over a thousand. Half of the away following were only in double figures.

We averaged 5,414.14 home fans per match.

We averaged 5,141.14 home fans per match.


Home average was 5,704 [url]https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league/attendances[/url]

So 5,414.32 home fans based upon the above away average. I suspect that home average table in the link includes play-offs because[url]https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league/attendances/away[/url] we are way out in front as the most popular visitors...

Edit - on that link the final was credited to Solihull as a home game! So those numbers are a pile of shite...save our home average I assume is right because we didn't have a home play-off game.
