What strikes me is that the home fans total for the game yesterday was lower than the corresponding fixture last season.
Taking into account that Stevenage and FGR are similar opposition (nothing to get excited about), this season we are near the top of the league, had won our previous five home games, yet we attracted fewer fans than last season (played on Saturday 15th December) when we we had failed to win in 6 games and were 14th in the league.
I get that its nearly Christmas, people have other things to do etc, but a genuine question.......why have gates not reflected the improved performances, results, league standing etc?
Do you think that to the "stay-aways" its just the fact they don't want to watch fourth division football?
The difference is 21, less than 1/2%. Perhaps the question should be why are there not more people coming to the games? The bad weather probably played a part yesterday but I would suspect that unless we get into the top two or so then the floating watcher count is unlikely to change much. Mind you, how many season ticket holders are there this season? There can't be that many that pay on the day.
