Well I certainly went more probably would have gone more often if I lived in Southampton still especially for evening games - It was nice to see the Saints win so much

NO surprise there really. That lot down the road can only fill Nottarf Krap when they are doing well - just wait to see the crowds they get as they start there slow slide into oblivion. If they were in L1 they would max out at 10K.

Lets start getting getting bigger crowds than more prem teams bolton should be an easy target

The Echo mentions Premier League (now 'ex' in some cases!) Burnley, Wigan and skates as having significantly lower attendances than League One Saints but I'd say we almost certainly get more 'home' fans than Blackburn and Fulham too. Their 'average' gates are boosted by big away supports, usually 2-3000 but the big clubs probably have anything up to 10k at some of those grounds. The skates have averaged around only 15-16k of actual 'home' support this season. What's the 'average' away support at SMS in this division, between 5-700?

 

If/when we were in the Prem our gates were among the top 10 or so.

In the Prem we were normally about 12th in attendances.

I wonder if they'd have gone up under Lowe/Wotte this season?

Good guess, going back to our 30k average that we had in the Premi we'd have been 11th this season.
