This Club is on the up - Attendances

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Are those crowds just the League 2 one’s?

To be fair, I thought the home crowd was a bit disappointing yesterday. Good noise though and you’d hope a win at Colchester may bring a few more down.

They are just in League Two. If we add in League One then since the year 2000 we have had 18 league games at Meadow Lane where attendances have been into five figures;

Six out of the top ten have been while AH and KN have been at the club which is still excellent when it includes both LG1 and LG2.

1.) LG2 2017/18 - Crewe 17,274 (Offer)
2.) LG1 2001/02 - Huddersfield 15,618
3.) LG2 2017/18 - Forest Green 13,267 (Offer)
4.) LG2 2017/18 - Mansfield Town 12,563
5.) LG1 2011/12 - Sheff Wed 12,410
6.) LG2 2016/17 - Portsmouth 12,184
7.) LG2 2017/18 - Lincoln City 11,672
8.) LG1 2010/11 - Sheff Wed 11,355
9.) LG2 2009/10 - Cheltenham 11,331
10.) LG2 2016/17 - Mansfield Town 11,328
11.) LG2 2009/10 - Rochdale 10,536
12.) LG1 2010/11 - Huddersfield 10,342
13.) LG2 2017/18 - Coventry City 10,316
14.) LG1 2002/03 - Mansfield Town 10,302
15.) LG2 2015/16 - Mansfield Town 10,074
16.) LG2 2004/05 -Mansfield Town 10,055
17.) LG2 2006/07 - Mansfield Town 10,034
18.) LG2 2007/08 - Mansfield Town 10,027

Outstanding - comment and performance! It will be interesting to see the average gate on a curve from the supporters trust to the end of this season - especially if we can turn yesterday's win into a determined push for promotion.

Colchester's form is good, but a win there is not impossible, then Woevil at home... 6 points from those two and there'll be a real buzz around the club. Even 4 points from those two games and we'll make the playoffs. At this time of year, all we need is to be in the mix to have a puncher's chance.

I can’t do you a graph but it’s as follows from when the Trust took control in 2006;

2005/06 - HG/Trust 5,467
2006/07 - Trust 4,973
2007/08 - Trust 4,732
2008/09 - Trust 4,445
———————————————
2009/10 - Munto/RT 7,352
2010/11 - RT 6,586
2011/12 - RT 6,807
2012/13 - RT 5,521
2013/14 - RT 5,508
2014/15 - RT 5,351
2015/16 - RT 4,860
———————————————
2016/17 - RT/AH 5,970
2017/18 - AH 7,753 (So far)

From the last season of the supporters trust until this season our average home attendance has increased by 3,308 which is a 75% increase. This is almost the same increase as the Munto season.

Some great attendances this season, and a really healthy average. I also noted that Mansfield had about 3500 for their home game against Crewe, including away fans - that's less than they take to ML on their big day out.

[Mapperleypie]

Aside from the improved home performances, I think much of the upturn has to be down to the change in pricing structure under AH and the number of young fans that now come to Notts - which is very much to his credit.

My two are 8 & 5 now and are both hooked (a lifetime of disappointment awaits), given it is only £22 for all 3 of us to attend then it makes it a fairly inexpensive form of entertainment - as an example if all 3 of use were to go to Showcase cinema on a Saturday afternoon it would be closer to £25.

I seem to recall under the previous regime the same 3 tickets in the Pavis would be closer to the region of £45.

Football web pages has our average at 7,933 so even better if correct

[SmiffyPie]

The sooner we get there the better.

What about consolidation ffs??? Got to get them craphouses painted first.

[Mark_Ross]

Have just committed to going to the Yeovil game. Hopefully this will not be the kiss of death, since my record so far this season is played 2 won 2, the omens are good!

Anyway, apart from the obvious improvement on the pitch, perhaps more remarkable is the upturn in our attendances - real cause for optimism here. Praise where praise is due AH!

Now, we could really do with huge crowds for the last two home games. Over to you AH...

[The-Mac pie]

I reckon we were about 1k down on what I expected. Easter holidays probably the culprit. Even so I was pleased with how we ensured we were not outsung by the travelling support. I wonder if the acoustics in the Kop are actually better when not full?

I think it was the hardcore original fans that try and come every week that made the atmosphere great Saturday.
Hats off to them
Was nice to see the main stand join in aswell
As we have witnessed in the past when the Kop used to be for away support they could make one heck of a noise.
Just hope we all manage to cheers notts over that finishing line and up automatically

I can see the Luton game being the highest attendance of the season. They could be needing a point or 3 to retain auto promotion, and we could be needing a point or 3 for play off place.

I can see the Luton game being the highest attendance of the season. They could be needing a point or 3 to retain auto promotion, and we could be needing a point or 3 for play off place.

OR it could stil be a straight fight for automatic. I'm not thinking play offs until automatic is impossible.
