Attendance Yesterday

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

Exactly so we are filling the stadium nomatter how many actually rock up on the day.

Yep. And maybe for say the Swindon game - most back from holiday, trains not so fecked up (hopefully) ST holders getting more used to releasing their seat if they cant use it - and more people looking for released seats, we might find that the attendance gets closer to tickets sold. I think tickets sold yesterday would have been circa 7,400/7,500 depending on whether the corporates in the Upper were not sold or no shows.

Yeah don't know why people get their knickers in a  twist about people expressing concerns about capacity , it has obviously been reached and breached already and we're only 1 home game in. No home tickets available according to the system implemented to manage it.

Quoted from aldi_01

Let’s say, for arguments sake they suddenly increase the capacity at BP to 12k tomorrow, do you think there’ll be 12k at the next home game?

Put it this way if Lincoln can get crowds of 10000 while they’ve always been historically a worse supported club than us we can get 12000.
Our problem as we’ve all known for nearly 30 years is the ground

First game of the season always gets a big crowd anyway. Let's see how many are still there in October before we decide on one game our ground can't hold everyone who wants to go every week.

The problem when you look at the situation is that the tickets sold will never equal the attendance figure. Whether the ticket is an ST or bought the day before people may not attend for a host of reasons.

Therefore the attendance figure will always be less unless there is an unusual circumstance Prem Team in a cup etc. However, the good news is that the club receives revenue from the tickets sold; the bad news is that fans who don't have an ST may not be able to buy a ticket on the day.

This problem has only come to the surface this year and I am sure John, Andrew and Debbie will do their utmost to maximise the club's income from match days.

Jesus, he’s not back is he?

If one wishes to complain about others having a different opinion or, in your case, one wishes to throw criticisms please attempt to use the correct grammar and punctuation.

It’ll certainly help the point.

Not great with sarcasm I see…

I get it's easy to say 'poor from Northampton'
But i can't imagine i will get to many away games this year.

The cost of living is ridiculous, to the point me and my partner work full time with 2 kids, yet still having to cut back on certain things.
An away day for me and my son will be £30-£40 for tickets. Northampton round trip is approx £60. 2x meals £40, so all of a sudden, you're at £125-£150 to watch 90 minutes of football.

Let’s be realistic about this.

We play in a stadium that is outdated but improvements are ongoing and the atmosphere on Saturday sounded incredible
We’ve spent almost 1/4 of a century ‘trying’ to move to a new ground
1878 have only had their feet under the table 18 months and are steadying a ship that was on par with the Mary Celeste
The benign one will soon be paid off
We don’t know what’s going on in the background
