Thank you upthemagpies.
So home attendances in League 2 have increased for us by 37.9% between 2017/18 and 2023/24. And 2017/18 was a more successful season results wise than this.
Do you have the average figure for the whole of League 2 this season so we can compare it to the 4491 of 2017/18?
Thank you in hope and anticipation.

Thank you.

In 6 seasons
Our crowds have increased by 37.9%.
League 2 as a whole has increased by 38.9%.

So no matter what we thought, we don't appear to be outperforming football in general. (League 2 anyway) - ( although as I said before 2017/18 was a more successful season results wise and AH really tried to boost attendances eg 17234 against Crewe).
It is not just us, everybody is booming. So we need to be alert to any downturn.

The best yardstick I think is our position in the 92 attendance table, which I'll be able to post when the Premier League season ends. It would be no good us averaging 15k if 60 plus clubs were averaging higher than that, we'd want to be around the 50th best supported to have a realistic chance of going back to being a top tier 3 / lower tier 2 club, which I would say is the least the club deserves when taking its' history and location into account.

Crowds across football have increased since VAR was introduced to the Premier League. Given thoughts on here and having spoken with fans of various Prem clubs, they are at a loss with it. This could be a contributing factor to the increase.
The cost of watching football in the Premier League has reached a point where it becomes unaffordable for many a regular income household. I know for a a fact that if I were a Forest fan, I couldn’t afford to spend the amount required to purchase me and my 2 boys season tickets, plus travel to every game, plus the inevitable food and beverages. Watching Notts averages around £100 a game on average - for the bigger games probably double.
Despite being 20 odd quid for an adult it’s half of not more than watching Premier League footy. U11’s somewhat cheaper.

So true. The Premier League has lost its allure recently, and many people just want to watch a decent game of football for a decent price. Top-level football has become inaccessible for normal people, and spoiled by stupid rule changes that suck all the fun out of the experience.

I personally think they need a VAR referendum and probably poll it across the premier leagues season ticket holders. I get it that it mostly helps with big decisions and some games there’s a lot on it, like us vs Cov it would have been helpful to say the least, but as an experience it seems to be ruining football in my opinion. They could have a vote and say they will revisit in 3 years with another vote and either way people just put up and shut up in between.

I think VAR would be better if they changed the laws/rules about it being shown in stadiums. Fans sit in stadiums for several minutes, not knowing what is happening. From an experience point of view watch the incident back on the screen that every premier league HAS to have. Rugby do it, why can’t football? I’ve said before that the ref and 2 linesman should convene to discuss and make a decision whilst in consultation with VAR whilst utilising the big screen.

I think we currently sit 52nd. All 24 PL teams beat our average gate, 23 of 24 in the Championship, 6 of 24 in L1 and just 2 of 24 in L2.
Season 2017/18 I think we ranked 56th.
Info from Football web pages, there may be the odd cup game which slightly distorts things but not significantly I suspect.
