Bank holiday weekend before school starts and after a poor run = reduced non season ticket holders.
Same at Hillsborough and other clubs. Couple of away wins and we're back cooking on gas...
We haven't played anyone yet who bring a load of fans unless your on about home fans alone which i haven't worked out if were down on that front.
I don't think we are down are we?
We normally now get around 8K home fans per game, if you add 2200 away fans then that's not that far off capacity. We haven't played anyone yet at home that's filled the away end.
I think we are slightly down but now school holidays are over then I expect it to be back to normal.
Also MK Dons and Fulham only came with 800 ish, we have only had a good away following from Preston which was just over a thousand
M.K. Dons match 9,869 away fans 849 = 9,020 HF first match of season is often up. 19th August Attendance V Preston night match 9,078.... Away fans 1,040 = 8,038 HF
Fulham match Attendance 8,839 Away fans 704 = 8,135 Home fans.
Make of it what you will they`re only stats.
Of course if things don't improve attendances will dwindle it happens at most clubs.
UTM. C64F.
EDIT : Let`s be positive and say the team will pick up form and attendances will increase.
Plenty of full houses to come, Wednesday, Leeds, Forest, Derby, Huddersfield, Hull and probably a few more.

this season 2015/16 mk 9869 preston 9078. fulham 8839 avg 9268
next 2 games avg of 10k with give us same avg gate as last season
Yeah, average for whole of last season was 10240. We have a number of 11k + gates to come and front end of season traditionally lower. No need to be concerned just yet and with the additional players, particularly now we have a goalie, confidence will surely start to grow - In the players and with the fans
Don't forget Fulham's pitiful away support in terms of their home crowds, less than we took to QPR the week before
