Reply With QuoteSurely if anything we were a mid table League 3 team? Or a 5th division side. We can’t be described as League 5 side when in the conference it’s the division/league that sits directly below League 2.Originally Posted by 60YearsAPie

For the 15,000 against Cambridge last season, they brought about 2,000, I think. Disappointing not to get 10k yesterday, but I’m sure we had offers under the Trews where we didn’t get close to 9,000 so overall it’s still pretty decent. We can definitely get over 11,000 toward the end of the season if we’re challenging for promotion.

The 2nd most stupid thing the FL ever did was renumbering the divisions in 1991. *The* most stupid thing they ever did was re-numbering them yet again in 2004. What has it achieved other than causing lasting confusion for ever more? Does anybody in the 3rd tier feel as though they're in a healthier position than they actually are because it's called "League One"? It really gets my goat.

Yes I didn't think it was promoted as much as previous offers. Perhaps it's impressionistic but I just didn't hear the same 'noise' as when we did the "Two for Crewe" promotion and it was seen and heard everywhere. I thought this was more low-key.
A mate of mine said it was "all over Facebook", but if that's the case it won't be seen by me. It's a perfectly good idea to use social media as one means of promoting something, but there's still no substitute for the old fashioned ways of promotion alongside it.
On the plus side, over 9000 fans will have gone home happy with the result, but I think we could have been hitting 12,000 at least if more people had known, despite the fact that we're not in a 'glamour' league.

Right, which would reflect the personalities of the owners. The Reedtz brothers can't be, or shouldn't try to be, anything other than who they are, but this demonstrates how you can't or rarely have it all. Hardy was a disaster in the end but, as much as most would now shirk to admit, there were positive sides to him and his ability to drum up support was quite exceptional.

There are no doubt lots of factors. Through performances we've not capitalised on building on support and whilst it is an excellent crowd for non-league (Bournmouth only manage a few more) the opportunities to build on some of the figures we've had have squandered.
My understanding that the offer was a reward to those that had stayed loyal to the club through the thick and thin of the past few months and as such possibly it was right not to promote it the Hardy way.
And it must bring comfort to the owners to know there is still a level of support for the club assuming that tickets weren't being thrown around to reluctant schoolkids.

This.
Completely agree. I work in an environment where I am speaking to colleagues in overseas offices, or even when on holiday, and the number of times when football comes up and you have to say we are in division 2 but its really the fourth tier, and then have to try to explain why league 2 is actually league 4 is tiresome. I never understood the need for it in the first place and still don't now. I only hope eventually they rename the championship to Premier League 2, then a few years later the League 1, might be a candidate for Premier League 3, and then finally we may see league 2 becoming Premier League 4, and normal service (and common sense) would be restored !

Luckily we're not in L2 anymore and we can just call the National league the vauxhall conference
