Monty Burns Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Decent that. We only get 3000 at home, so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 How much earlier? Early enough to cover all eventualities, otherwise it's your own fault innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Don't Scare Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Decent that. We only get 3000 at home, so.. We travel exceptionally well based on our home gates, there are numerous 'league table' away following stats around to confirm that. 2000 really isnt that good, we should be selling out.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Decent that. We only get 3000 at home, so.. Late 3,000's. It's not like we just about scrape 3,000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away followings of such large numbers are very, very difficult to sustain. Expectations should be realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just spoken to a Bury season ticket holder I know - he's expecting a bigger home crowd than usual but was surprised we're bringing so few.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Not when your fan base would rather watch us away than at home it's not. if thats the case why are we not taking the average 4349? some like to go away especially if its local and some like to go as far as Gillingham either way thats rubbish mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had lots of fans who only go to away games and this number was swelled by the stupid managerial appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Taking half of our home support is ok. It will beat their effort what they bring to us. I'm sure they only had 900 last time we played them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Average attendance last season was 4,349, so.... Average home (league) attendance - i.e. taking out away fans - was 3,645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I thought they were boycotting season tickets because of that, now you're telling me they changed their mind and are boycotting away games? Not paying DK wages was the reason for me (and a few others). There are, however, people are 'never going again' Until- Corney goes DK goes The price drops back below £20.01 Corney dies We get promoted <insert other personal reason> Every few months we give another couple of hundred people a new excuse/ reason.

UpTheLatics Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) A bloke stormed out of Boundary Park saying exactly that after Hartlepool scored their third during a Friday night match a few year back (Penney was in charge). For a few seasons he kept up his promise but I've since seen him. EDIT: That is in quote to Monty Burns above. Considering the negativity at the moment - and there is, regardless of what members of the "We're Unbeaten Brigade" say - I think 2,000 there tomorrow is decent enough. If this fixture was five year ago there would be at least 2,500 or if it was on the back of four or five victories there would be the same again. I think a few 200-300 have been deterred by the fact it's ticket-only. It's a fixture at an awkward time for me and the group I go with. I'm at a wedding, two or three are working, one is on holiday and another is away for the weekend.

Monty Burns Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 All ticket does reduce it (possibly thats the whole idea). Few just paying in home ends tho. Like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
