Even so, Warnock and Pavis deserved a far better return for the efforts and its' no wonder the collapse was as sudden as the rise with such pitiful support. Had it come a decade or so later, the attendances wouldn't have been such an issue with the amount of money coming in from TV.

If we're not naming the Kop after Colin Slater, Bradd or Masson (the latter pair's era already represented by the Sirrel stand), it should be named after Warnock.

Notts average gates as a percentage of Fwords average gate the same season

1975/76 - 97% (Season I started collecting football cards, both cllubs in tier 2)
1982/83 - 58% (My first season at Meadow Lane, top flight)
1991/92 - 47% (last season both clubs in top flight together)
2009/10 - 31% (Munto season)
2021/22 - 25% (Last season)
Those stats are actually pretty impressive when you think about it. I mean last season was our joint lowest league finish ever, while it was Forest's best season this century. Forest as a club seem way more than four times bigger than us. The amount of money they have is probably closer to 4000x than 4x. So to get a quarter of their gates is pretty good really.

It's strange about the low gates when we were last a decent side. I think we average just over 10k in the top flight. We'd probably get that if we made it back to L1 now, given the momentum and excitement that would generate.
