Matthew Le God Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Yet again, disappointed with the attendance. You are disappointed to get 23k vs Millwall, in the Championship, in August? Have you seen the other attendances around the country?
Griffo Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 You are disappointed to get 23k vs Millwall, in the Championship, in August? Have you seen the other attendances around the country? Yes and no.
View From The Top Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Yes and no. Derby had 40 more folk than us and NFFC v LCFC only managed 24.5k.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Yes and no. Forest vs Leicester 24k (big derby game) Derby vs Doncaster 23k Saints vs Millwall 23k Brighton Blackpool 19k Bristol City vs Pompey 12k Burnley vs Cardiff 13k Coventry vs Watford 13k Hull vs Palace 17k Peterborough vs Ipswich 7k Reading vs Barnsley 15k Saints relative to similar sized clubs are getting what you should expect in the conditions. Saints vs Leeds in week one had a higher attendance than West Ham vs Cardiff. August is holiday season and Millwall aren't exactly a family friendly opponent. To get 23k is a very good attendance in the Championship.
Golden Balls Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 pretty surprised that the official attendance figure of 23300 i guestimated it at perhaps just short of 25000. Looked a lot more than that I thought
RobM Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Saints vs Leeds in week one had a higher attendance than West Ham vs Cardiff. That's impressive if correct, given the fact it was on TV, which normally reduces attendances.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 That's impressive if correct, given the fact it was on TV, which normally reduces attendances. It is true. (admittedly only marginally bigger and both games were on TV) West Ham vs Cardiff 25,680 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14356630.stm Southampton vs Leeds 25,960 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14351913.stm
Sour Mash Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 It is true. (admittedly only marginally bigger and both games were on TV) West Ham vs Cardiff 25,680 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14356630.stm Southampton vs Leeds 25,960 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14351913.stm Absolutely massive amounts of empty seats at that West Ham game as a result of segregation from what I could see. Not a great crowd in yesterday, but certainly not a bad one either. I would like to think we could get well over 25k on a regular basis if this form keeps up.

dronskisaint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Looked a lot more than that I thought That's what I thought too...I usually try to guess low to restrict the bullsh*t factor and I'd guessed 25-26k..no reason for under-quoting (I mean we pay our taxes and everything) but I was a little surprised it wasn't more.
Pedro Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I thought it was a mistake, looked a far bigger crowd but I suppose Milwall brought about 1500 less than Leeds so must be about right.
Saint Garrett Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 West Ham were forced to give Cardiff the whole stand (for 1000 fans) against Cardiff due to trouble.
woodfc Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Massive gaps in the Itchen/Chapel corner again + middle Itchen. Northam/Itchen still closed off.
