Average Attendance

Average Attendance

Why though?

Put them on sale at Championship prices with the caveat that it’s a bargain if we get promoted.

Then if we had have got promoted, they’d offset the loss on revenue with the millions of pounds of TV money.

I’d have bought one without hesitation after the Reading game because of the buzz, now I’ll be waiting to see the summer activity before deciding.
It’s a bloody bargain at last years prices must be the lowest in the championship.
 
Talking of attendance, I was sat with easily 3-5 seats empty to my left all season. It turns out they were reserved for ticket holders, they obviously decided not to ever turn up for some reason or another.

I know of 3 old blokes who still buy tickets but haven’t attended since covid. They buy them as it’s their way of supporting the club. All used to sit on the finney.

One of them still comes in for a chat, he’s informed me that the man that drove them is still so scared of covid he has people leaving things on his doorstep.

I’ve offered him a lift, he never accepted as it’s not the same if his mates don’t attend.

Always baffled me as to why 3 Welsh blokes supported Preston, they then pointed out that when they started going we were a good team
 
I was using these figures:


One for Ian Rigby to resolve, I reckon. 😵

Either way, great support in an up-and-down season at home. 👍
Some of those older transfermarkt figures are based on 1 game - so the total attendance for the season is identical to the average - and they are missing whole seasons too.

I don't know where the other site gets its data, but it does at least purport to be complete (and it generally agrees with transfermarkt where it has complete data).

There are a few anomalies in the transfer market one if you look carefully
 

If the data in your link is correct, then we will finish this season with our 6th highest average home league attendance ever, for seasons outside of the top flight. Congratulations to all involved.

I would hope that the owners take advantage of this significant increase in attendances as a selling point when seeking buyers for the club, in conjunction with how close our club has come to the play-offs this season. They will almost certainly still need to reduce their asking price, but if they don't sell this summer then I fear for what will happen to our club.
