..we get into League 1 what does everybody reckon our home gates will be?

Red and metal

They will probably fluctuate wildly, depending on the fixture. The games against the 'fallen giants' will probably attract upwards of 4,000 (including away fans) but matches against the likes of Exeter, Oldham, etc will probably struggle to hit 2,500.

i think will go from 1800 hardcore home fans to 2200 + away fans

I'd say thats not far off the mark.
A game against Sheff Wed would probably be a sell out, but if we take a tonking week after week against bigger clubs with bigger budgets, the fickle fans will soon drop off the attendances
and we'll be back to the hard core plus a few new fans and some extra away fans.

It needs the new 'North Stand' to be rocking every week, right from the first game. That way any newbies will find it exciting and addictive, the atmosphere is key critical because we would surely struggle to hold our own against 50% of Division 1 teams on the field?

So core home support would be in the vicinity of 2.300 for most games, obviously boosted by a larger away support giving us an average home crowd of 3,500
