Thread | Average attendance
at 17:49 14 Apr 2025
First covered on the OMB, but we are in striking distance of reaching a home league attendance average of 5,000 this season. Our total home attendance for the 21 games so far is 99,819, so we are 15,181 short of the target 115,000 (23 x 5,000), or 7,591 on average over the last two games.
It's certainly doable, but probably hinging on the level of away support, or whether Robbie allocates some of the North Stand to home supporters if there's demand for the Barrow game. I think one of the issues for the North Stand share idea is there isn't a means to segregate the concourse under the stand. I don't know, I've never been in the North Stand?
Crewe is selling well at the moment, E4-E8 approaching a sell-out, S1 and S2 sold out, S3 and S4 close to sold out, as are W3, 4 and 6.
Technically, there is another way to reach a home average of 5,000, but that would require a 24th home game. The good news is that in that scenario, our required average over three home league games actually drops to 6,727 per match 
Edit: Crewe, not Donny [Post edited 14 Apr 18:18]

All in all, an okay set of results if I'm honest. Notts County and Donny won, Walsall, Bradford and AFC Wimbledon all drew and Crewe lost to keep us in 8th place with a marginally superior goal difference. Salford, Chesterfield and Fleetwood refuse to give up on their fading hopes, and all won. Salford have a game in hand, which might add to the significance of our trip there at the end of April. |

Apologies Durham for the preemptive strike, but this really needs to be broadcasted as soon as possible. With still two days to go, the South Stand is completely sold out, and E5 through to E8, and W3 and W4 as well, are already close to a sell-out. If you haven't got your ticket, book as soon as possible!
Incredible support already, and with Grimsby reportedly bringing in the region of 500+ (according to their predictions) it looks like it's going to be a bumper crowd for the Friday night game.
Our best ever at the JobServe for a Friday night league game was 5,461 for John McGreal's March 2018 2-1 win over Luton Town. We look like we'll be challenging that on Friday. |

If the reported ticket sales for tomorrow are correct (at least 21k, possibly more than 22k), it's pretty much a nailed-on certainty tomorrow will be the biggest Tier 4 attendance we've ever played in front of. So, some topical questions to ponder over whilst watching England v Albania.
Q1 - name the four opponents that are currently ranked 1-4 in our attendance stats. One point for each, and a bonus point if you get them in the right order.
Q2 - name the opponent for our lowest Tier 4 attendance (not including the Covid lockdown matches).
Q3 - name the UK side that holds the record for a Tier 4 attendance. Bonus point for naming their opponent. |

A bold decision by Mat Sadler not to take the easy and to be honest justifiable decision to postpone Walsall's game next Saturday at Gillingham, with three first team regulars away on international duty. He will no doubt be relying on the U's to do them a massive favour.

Valley Parade should be a 20,000+ crowd on Saturday with their 'all tickets £5 in advance' offer, even if at least 15,000 of those are already season ticket holders who don't get any benefit from the deal. Anyone know how many tickets we've sold? |

Over 1,000 tickets already sold, and there's still two days to go, and presumably pay on the day for anyone who decides last minute to travel. That must be our largest away following this season, or am I forgetting anything? Much as I hate giving that scummy bunch any of my hard-earned, I'll be there. [Post edited 26 Feb 18:54]
