Could someone list the number of games where we've had crowds of more than 16,000 over the last 10 seasons.
I think it’s more important to focus on the future than the past. This club is year on year progressing, at this rate we will be in the championship within 2 seasons. I believe our attendance averaged around 16,500 last time, I imagine it will be higher now. The concern is surely the lack of capacity going forward in the higher leagues, rather than what we’ve done for the last ten years.
We had six seasons in the championship , our average attendances during those seasons and finishing positions according to GoS , were 2004/05 16,419 , 17th ;2005/06 13,776 , 14th ; 2006/07 13,011 , 11th ; 2007/08 13,000 , 10th ; 2008/09 , 11,533 , 21st ; 2009/10 10314 , 23rd . So we had 1 season of over 16,000 average attendance , our first in the division , then despite 3 years of improved positions our average dropped by 3,419 . It would appear that our ground at the time had a bigger capacity than was needed for most of our 138 home games during that period , and to be fair if our capacity after phase 1 is completed stands at 17,500 , that too would have been enough for most of those games .
