Season Ticket Sales Pass 5,000!

Good to hear. I wonder when the last time we sold over 5,000 ST?

Back just before the commencement of the 2018/19 season we had sold over 3,000. Quite the contrast.

Hoping for a late rush before the early bird deadline to push that figure higher.

Had a look on Transfer Market UK for Notts attendance figures in last 25 seasons. If we discount 20/21 due to Covid, the average crowd through that period is 5987. Four seasons where total attendances averaged under 5000. Twelve seasons when the average was between 5000 and 6000.
It is probably too much to hope for to reach 6000 season ticket sales but it does give some perspective to the direction the club is heading. We'll done everyone at NCFC

I think attendances are up across the board. Look at Mansfield, for example. They used to struggle to get 4000 at home including away fans but have already passed that number in season tickets sales.

But yeah, things are definitely on the up, and last season will have got a whole load of youngsters and peripheral fans hooked.

Our average attendance for the coming season could be the highest in decades, especially if we make a push for promotion. There are a handful of teams that will pretty much sell out the away allocation (Mansfield, Grimsby, Bradford, Stockport, Wrexham) and a few more that will take 1000 or so, so 10k+ attendances could be fairly regular.

Honestly, I don't remember a time when we were so well run, and when optimism for the future was so justified. Good times!

They are, clubs are seeing average attendances they haven't seen since the 1970s at all levels, but you don't have to look too far away to find that some clubs have hit a celling, they can't go any higher because their capacity won't allow them to. That means other clubs will start to close the gap in terns of bums on seats. You don't have to look very far either for an example of that phenomena.

It isn't so much of a stretch of the imagination to predict that Notts could average 10k this coming season *if* we were in the mix for promotion again, which would bring Notts up to a third of the size of our PL rivals on gates with the local newspaper hilariously still doing their best to ignore us.

If we got promoted again (which has to be more likely than going back down, and as I've shown in a previous thread, clubs generally don't tend to stuck around in L2 for more than 4 seasons) you're going to be looking towards Notts becoming half the size of Fword if the current trend continuers and Fword don't expand. There's also a reasonable chance that by the time we go up, they will be going in the other direction again.

This is why we're so lucky to have a relatively big stadium. Sure, opposition fans will mock us for only quarter-filling it when times are bad, but on the off chance the good times return, we're fully prepared to grow and grow.
