Does anyone know what the crowd was yesterday ?
Also what is our average attendance this season?
I have a feeling that despite how bad we’ve been it’ll be higher than last season

I'd guess 7-800 lower than last season at home and about 30-40% down on our travels..

Since Jolley arrived, I completely agree. The support has been fantastic.

Before that, it was not. Yes, the results were poor and that affected the gate. But I'm talking about actually supporting the team, which was not the atmosphere at the matches, particularly at home, when I've been.

The board allowed Slade to churn out dire 'football' ( I use the term loosely) with no shape or desire by keeping him in the job when all but the blind could see he had no rapport with players or fans.
To criticise those of us who are desperate to follow their home town club when the reasons are clear and lay at the feet of your beloved board members is a shite wind up

Do you not think the atmosphere under Salde might have had something to do with the garbage on the pitch that we had to endure?

The crowds have held up pretty well considering the boring football Slade served up, and also taking into account the board's antagonism toward the supporters for most of the season. 4,500-5,500 is historically (I'm talking last 25 years) about par, even when we were in the Championship.

Recent games have shown that when there's good feeling around the club and those big occasion games (Opening day, derby games, Boxing Day, Easter), the people of the town come out to support the team.  Hopefully, this mini-feelgood factor (or to borrow Cod Almighty's phrase, Feel-slightly-less-excrementy factor) can spur a little bit of a boost in gates.  

Medium term, if 5,500 with occasional 7,000s can be turned into 5,800/6,000 with occasional 7,500/8,000s (10-11,000 in a new ground), then that's a huge percentage increase and a good way to secure the fan base.

I'm not disputing that what was happening on the pitch was garbage. I just don't consider all the moaning that's been going on for most of the season to be "first class support". Support is getting behind the team, that didn't happen even when we were in a decent league position under Slade.
