Attendance

[pravda_plc]

Says there was just over 9000 today. Looked more than that

Why do football fans reckon they can judge the size of a crowd at a glance but electronic turnstiles / computers cannot?

Didn't Crewe being a couple of thousand? The away followings make a big difference to these deals.

We were 2nd in League 4 and favourites for promotion at the time of the Crewe game, who as optipez says brought a couple of thousand or so with them.

Before yesterdays game we were a mid-table League 5 team who'd won 2 out of our previous 6 home games this season.

Maybe it would have been nice to beat the League 5 attendance record but in the overall scheme of things is of little consequence.

Surely if anything we were a mid table League 3 team? Or a 5th division side. We can’t be described as League 5 side when in the conference it’s the division/league that sits directly below League 2.

The 2nd most stupid thing the FL ever did was renumbering the divisions in 1991. *The* most stupid thing they ever did was re-numbering them yet again in 2004. What has it achieved other than causing lasting confusion for ever more? Does anybody in the 3rd tier feel as though they're in a healthier position than they actually are because it's called "League One"? It really gets my goat.

This.

Completely agree. I work in an environment where I am speaking to colleagues in overseas offices, or even when on holiday, and the number of times when football comes up and you have to say we are in division 2 but its really the fourth tier, and then have to try to explain why league 2 is actually league 4 is tiresome. I never understood the need for it in the first place and still don't now. I only hope eventually they rename the championship to Premier League 2, then a few years later the League 1, might be a candidate for Premier League 3, and then finally we may see league 2 becoming Premier League 4, and normal service (and common sense) would be restored !

Luckily we're not in L2 anymore and we can just call the National league the vauxhall conference

For the 15,000 against Cambridge last season, they brought about 2,000, I think. Disappointing not to get 10k yesterday, but I’m sure we had offers under the Trews where we didn’t get close to 9,000 so overall it’s still pretty decent. We can definitely get over 11,000 toward the end of the season if we’re challenging for promotion.
