I think the attendance is dependent on the results at Bromley and Boreham Wood. The difference bewteeen two defeats and two wins might be as much as 4,000 on the attendance. I expect two draws so ... 9,643.

Agreed, wouldn't expect many from Fylde either as it's a ways. So 2 wins in the previous matches, @12,000, draws or defeats, we'll be lucky to break 10,000.

[upthemaggies]

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.

[upthemaggies]

We're back on top of the average attendance table now on 5,100.

1 Notts County 5.100
2 Wrexham 4.877
3 Stockport County 4.409
4 Chesterfield 3.888
5 Hartlepool United 3.419
6 Torquay United 2.792

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.

As an aside, this game will be our 5,000th match in league competition.

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.

The Football League wasn't founded until 1888, which means we couldn't play league games for the first 26 years.

[ncfcog]

Do this season's games count seeing as we are essentially non-league or are we just saying any game that involves playing for points in a league season?

[magpie2k4]

How many extra tickets is everyone planning on getting? Three extra people are coming with me to the game.

You're right. The leagues lost 11 seasons to the world wars, which cost us 450ish games. And we didn't play more than 40 games in a season until 1919/20 (we didn't play the current allotment of 46 until 1958/59, and we've only done it continuously since 1992/93).

As long as we're careful with the semantics (ie. it's our 5,000th league game, not our 5,000th League game), I think it's fine.

Ok, thanks for the clarification XD XD

[Elite_Pie]

Please could everyone reduce their predicted attendance by one, as I have a prior engagement on that day in the land of the goat botherers. As others have said, the next two results will have some bearing on how many we get, but anything over 10,000 will be commendable.

I would keep it the same, seems an ideal time to come 'home'.

[LaxtonLad]

I think the attendance will depend on how many people turn up, but I expect between 14,000 - 15,000.

Also, I think the result will depend on how many goals are scored and who scores them, therefore I predict a massive 0-0 after VAR disallows three Fylde goals.

And are we including the United Counties League that we played in around the time we won the FA Cup?


Back to the present, the current average of 5,100 would be the 6th highest in the 4th tier and is also better than six clubs in the 3rd tier, so you could say that even at this level we've got the support that should sustain a club two levels higher if they're run properly.

Regardless of the Sunderland factor, crowds in the 3rd tier are very impressive these days, 15 clubs are averaging 6k plus, half are over 7k and 6 clubs above 9k.

[magpie2k4]

So who has already bought extra tickets then? How many people normally go with you to a game and how many are planning to come with you to this game?

[SwalePie]

I think the attendance will depend on how many people turn up

Well I'm glad we've got that one cleared up :D

Brilliant! XD

[magpie2k4]

Anyone know of any sales updates?
It seems a bit quiet regarding this promotion. I thought Notts would be mentioning it daily.

Maybe the new owners don't need their ego's continuously stroking?

[magpie2k4]

Leigh Curtis has suggested Notts will shatter the non league attendance record next Saturday.
Anyone know of sales figures so far?

[Reading_Pie]

Leigh Curtis was basically quoting/stealing an article from the Vanarama site.

[nay123]

Sure cambridge had a crowd of over 19.000

If you actually mean 19.000 then that's exactly the same as 19.000000000000000000. I suspect however that you meant 19,000.

Do you ever bother checking a few facts before you post garbage like this?

Bit mean Elite, whats up?time of the month? >;)

tbf it was bollox 14k is their highest ever gate and that was in 1970, i think their current capacity is below 10.000 ;D(it is 8127 on further research and has been since .06

Elite always has to be a complete prick

I would say the complete prick is the person who is sure that Cambridge had a crowd of over 19,000 in their non-league days.

A bit of advice - there's a thing called Google, if you used it a bit more often you wouldn't end up looking so stupid.

Elite can you please tell me where to post my subscription renewal for the national tactfulness club. I cant find the address to send it to ( I did try Google).

[magpie2k4]

7,200 sold so far.

Need 4K more to break the record

I don't think there be as many as a Googol there 'cause of recent performances, but if there were it would beat the attendance record.

[ncfcog]

I'm assuming that figure included ST's as well?

[magpie2k4]

From what I understand it was at 7200 this afternoon and that includes season ticket holders and away fans

[nw6pie]

We are 16th in the fifth division - any crowd above 8,000 would be impressive, no matter how cheap the tickets are. I think our last cheap offer was against Cambridge, when we were diabolical. Can’t imagine any neutrals from that day would be looking to return. Still, maybe a win on Tuesday night would add a few more to the gate.

True, but it's also an indication of how interest is cooling. The same ticket deal saw us get 17k a couple of seas ago. Even the Cambridge game had a sec turnout (14k?)

This is the problem with Ardley's football and results. People will simply lose interest. We should be involved in promotion campaign, yet we're settling into another seas of struggle.

[magpie2k4]

There is a real possibility of Notts setting a record here that might never be beaten. Spread the word and encourage your friends to get a ticket :)

Any update on tickets sold.

[magpie2k4]

I haven’t heard an update since the start of the week. It was 7,200 (everyone included) a few days ago.

As fans we really need to be doing our bit by spreading the word. It will be sad if we miss out on the record, because I feel we have a great chance of doing so.

As much as breaking this record is exciting to some I would be much happier with 3 points regardless of the attendance. That said I hope the attendance is enough to ensure the owners see some reward for the efforts they have made so far but as far as breaking records go I thought we had left that kind of ego stroking behind us.

Oh sorry, that the other NCFC XD

[Frigiliana Pie 1]

To me, this looks like a very important match. Fylde were among the pre season favourites for promotion, but like Notts, they’ve had a mixed start. Both clubs still have plenty of time to improve and could push on towards a play off place. I’d therefore rate this as a 6 pointer, with both sides really up for it.

Therefore, 1-1 Wootton. 11555.

[Cornish Pie]

Notts 2 - 2 AFC Fylde

[upthemaggies]

Leaving hope to one side, you can only go on what has gone before and Notts County do not win games on the trot under Neal Ardley and usually lose after a win, regardless of the quality of the opposition.

Notts 0 Fylde 1

Fword playing Friday night so I expect a fair few hundred of them might be tempted by a £3 offer which could break us through the 10k barrier.

I'm thinking the crowd will probably be a lot lower than many are expecting. I hope I'm wrong but I think we'll fall well short of the record.

I still feel we're likely to get all three points though! COYP!

[I've also merged the crowd prediction and match prediction threads to bring everything into one read]

[Dunce]

Looking at it, I cant see us getting the record either. One factor being that I cant see our visitors bringing more than 200. Would be nice to break 10000 though. We shall see.

Been trying to find out how many tickets have been sold but no joy, I'm afraid. Scoop did say on his web chat that we might find out at the end of today cos that's when the offer finishes. It's £22 on the gate!!! Most people seem to think @ 8,500 but we'll see.

I predict a win for Notts

2-0 Dennis, Bojo.

8,764.

[slack_pie]

I have think there will be about 9k there tomorrow. Not bad for non league, but miles off the near sellout we had two seasons ago.

[LilCrazyKim]

I understand why Notts are running the promotion so early in the season given they need to repair the damage to the club's reputation, but it's probably too early in the year for a huge crowd. You can't market it as an important game in a promotion push or ***** relegation six pointer. Still looks like a very good gate for this level and I think it shows that Notts are re-engaging people after all the trouble of the past year.

[LilCrazyKim]

Why on earth is v-ital a censored word?

Oh a message board a rival's name is worse than our worse football rivals name. I fear if I posted a link to the said satanic site I would be banned for life. There was a time I could post a google shortened version of the site address but it seems that facility is gone, but if you search for the obvious phrases I'm sure you'll get somewhere near.
