People have said to me that they would go to watch the Cobblers if we still played at the County Ground or if Sixfields had standing. Others would also go more often if they could get 'good seats' I.e. Near my season ticket or not near the front or stuck in corners. Clearly other clubs that sell out have people sitting at the front or in the corners but our small stands make that option sooner. Also bigger stands, seated or standing would get bigger crowds for the bigger games and successful periods where hopefully many would become regulars. The 2015-16 all-conquering season, our best for 30 years, we were limited to just 5,500 as no East Stand for the majority of the season. The dilapidated but bigger County Ground pulled in 11,000 during the last most successful season back in 1986/87.
Sorry to p*ss on your bonfire, Lee, but during the successful 1986-87 season I think we had only one attendance of 11,000. That was the Cardiff game on the 28th December 1986. A lot of the attendances that season were pretty average but increased as the season progressed. Mainly 5000, 6000, 7000 gates.
