Meadow lane full again..How is it this keeps happening?

My question is..Was going out the football league the best thing ever to happen to us in terms of fan numbers? It seems we somehow found a whole new "Bigger" fanbase after going down, For decades we could only dream of getting the number of bums on seats that we're getting now! I really do think if we had not gone down that we would be still getting the 4 to 7k numbers. Plus it seems we could get even more in if the council let us! Am i the only one that thinks this?

Or Forest being in the Prem with a fan base that is much bigger than the City Ground can facilitate

This^^^.

When we've been successful, Notts have always been reasonably well supported. We just needed the right owners with the right vision, rather than the one's with the 5 tier pan and a load of useless promises.

Sometimes you have to go backwards to go further forward, just like our style of play

Gates are comparable with the first time we were in the 4th tier, though we can't match the Easter Monday top of the table clash (Walsall) of 22,788

107 goals that season (59/60) and a double over Gillingham ;)

Lots of contributory factors but I believe one of the main ones is the inaccessibility to seeing the alternative in the city. Unless a season ticket holder it's expensive and hard to get your hands on a ticket so hard to become a regular football fan especially if a youngster. Forest getting promoted has been great for us. Sorry but it's true

Oh and the owners of course. A steady pair of hands through choppy waters and ambition. They've should ambition since day one.

All of this. You can’t discount our style of play as a massive factor. It doesn't feel like you are watching a side playing in the fourth tier. LW and the brothers deserve massive respect for this.

Did you enjoy the game last weekend laddo? You forgot that we also play exciting attacking football most of the time.

Genuine question as I have no idea why Laddo was banned. Was what they did so bad that it requires people to jump on any reply from someone who may, or may not be The Poster Formally Known as Laddo, even when the post seems pretty innocuous? If so, please can someone explain why? Thanks.
