Credit to them for bringing 700 when they average around 1'200 at home ?

One of my Forest supporting mates said where are all these new fans at regular league games ?
The same place that the 3k-5k away fans of small clubs take to the big premier teams in FA Cup games.
They are there for the cheap tickets or the glamour of Anfield etc.
Will they be there against Kings Lynn, probably not.

If we ever get back to the football league, we would probably be in the top 6 for attendances.
Currently I believe only Swindon, Bradford, Bristol Rovers would get bigger crowds, and the first two are one club only places.

Tranmere, Northampton, Orient, Carlisle probably have a similar fanbase to Notts.

I'm not sure what these clubs' grounds currently hold, but it would be intersting to see what Wrexham, Chessie, Grimsby, Stockport could pull in for a similar event.

Stockport have sold out their stadium for the Bolton replay, 10,800.
