Northampton 2041 (relegated season before so this was always a new ground for them then, I doubt the "glittering attraction of the Globe" counts there!)
Burton 1537 (though granted this was a Tuesday in Feb)
Two sub 2000 attendances and maybe a 2500 for the last game. Average attendance will be down and that's with a shiny new ground

Equally, there would obviously be a lot of people in those first 10 games who came just to see the new ground (i.e. neutrals looking to do their 92 etc). Those numbers were always going to fall.
The bottom line of this argument is that we moved to the new stadium because our attendences have always been crap. The whole point of the move was so that we didnt have to rely on attendences, so they shouldn't be as much of a concern.

Again, I disagree, sorry.
All three will do what we did to Barnet I reckon. Bring masses to try and help their teams out of the predicaments they find themselves in.

Average attendence 2008/09: 2,153
Average attendence 2009/10: 2262 (2126 if you remove the Aldershot game which artificially inflates attendence average due to it being the last league game)
Average attendence so far this season: 2,267
Back to the main point of the original post, I dont think we should increase prices at all for the considerable future. I can only talk in terms of the MBW but £15 is too much already for what you get there. Burton only charge £13 and their terraces are comparable to the MBW.
Morecambe Jack wrote:Even if you take 1500 as the attendences for each of the 3 last home games our average attendence for the season would be 2167 - thats higher than 2008/09 and higher than 2009/10 if you take out the outlier of the last game at Christie Park which distorts our true attendence figure.
Keep trying to disprove me though, I only need half an excuse to avoid doing Uni work.
EDIT: In response to your last post, I am not saying that attendences are miles up on last year. But I AM saying that they are UP and not down as everyone keeps saying because people like you are lying to them. They are UP (just) even if you DO include the Aldershot game (but I stand by saying that should be seen as an outlier). I cannot comprehend how you are arguing with me here when the figures are right there - check them yourself.
