Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
The Barwell replay was our first ever 1,000+ attendance at the Woof and Quack if I remember correctly? I doubt we'd see that attendance in a league game, but it would be good to get our own back on them!
K*ttering twice a year, plus cup competitions...that does sound tasty!

Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
Think attendances will definitely increase, especially as we might actually have a decent away followings come to Hayden Road. Should be getting at least 50-100 - obviously discounting the potential K*ttering fixture which will be massive.
I'd be disappointed if we didn't get 550+ average next season. Lets hope for some nice weather and Saturday home fixtures on!

Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
Based on data from Non League Matters here's a few random examples of increases in attendances for some local clubs the year after being promoted to Step 3.
St Neots +33.72%
Royston +29.85%
Stamford +14.39%
Kings Lynn +11.58%
K*ttering +3.98%
Funnily enough Hereford's average attendance this season is actually down 9.5%. Given the size of their crowds that's a drop of almost 300!

Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
St Neots, Royston and Stamford all average under 350. That would explain the huge increases in attendances once anyone with an away following turn up. Given that Hereford won't be there and we already have a decent average attendance (even for Step 3), I would expect our increase to be more around the 10% mark giving us a likey average of 550.BartonRaz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 11:09 am Based on data from Non League Matters here's a few random examples of increases in attendances for some local clubs the year after being promoted to Step 3.

Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
Yes you are right they almost certainly will. However they are coming from the National North where there are 11 clubs averaging over 1,000 and so their average is somewhat inflated by so many well supported travelling teams. I would expect their average next season to be nearer to the 550-600.Phil-the-Diamond wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 8:11 pm Could Tamworth be in there too? They average 700 plus

Re: Next Season - Central League Premier
I see Telford on that sheet as well. Also an old adversary from the Conference days and bound to bring a few.

Telford won't be joining us now, they're safe from relegation.Three of Diamonds wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 10:08 am I see Telford on that sheet as well. Also an old adversary from the Conference days and bound to bring a few.
