So long as 8k turn up it'll be a worthwhile exercise as that would mean the majority of people who attended last season were tempted back and some might stick if it's a decent game/result.

While getting a big crowd is great my concern is we never ever turn up at these type of games so a poor performance or negative result is pretty much guaranteed. I’m still not convinced it’s a sustainable model and while it keeps the neutral interested I would rather we just focus on continuing to get things right on the pitch because ultimately it’s footballing success and results that will increase attendances in a positive and sustainable manner.

Ah yes, most memorable for Noor Husin’s long range effort if I remember rightly?

Interesting. That makes an average of just over thirty league matches a year. I guess the average is dragged down by the war years, and by smaller leagues in the 'olden days'. If we'd always played at today's annual match rate, we'd have reached that milestone a long time ago.
