I was a long term season ticket holder up to last season.
I've just fallen out of love with watching them play. For too long now we have been watching a piss poor product. In my opinion the overall standard of league football now compared to 10 years ago is much inferior and for £22 i want to watch a team that at least looks like it trying.

Amazing how many people are claiming they are no longer season ticket holders yet the crowds are showing an increase.
David Cardoza must be very pleased.

No there NOT! and I like the way you've included three seasons in League 1 in your example. How about we compare the figures to the 1980's where under 3,000 was the common denominator?
Since we returned to League 2 in 2009/10 the figure has hardly moved.
Average home attendance including ALL games.
2009/10 - 4,242 2010/11 - 4,514 2011/12 - 4,769 2012/13 - 4,416 2013/14 - 4,504 2014/15 - 4,541
Early days but this is the second best figure in the last 6 years and I fully expect it to be the best.

Well... If they are going up on the tail end of a really poor season, then fair play to our support.
Perhaps it's due to the good run of form at the back of last season. Don't forget the final game of last season was far more enjoyable than the season before.

I prefer Warrens figures Marvo, they are simpler and more transparent. Crowds at Sixfields have been on a steady decline since 02/03.

The very low wages, hige prices for everything, it play's a large part, pay morgage/rent, there's not a lot left, food is more important than watching football, it's that simple.

Given the huge impact the global financial collapse had ( and continues to have), I'm amazed the post 2008 attendances are reasonably stable. Some of the major high street retailers would be delighted with the % +\- year on year.

Interesting that even those with a firm conviction gates are declining blame it on the quality/value of the product - rather than the fact we don't have another 3000 (empty) seats........

So if the product improves then the crowds will be up? Is that how I'm reading things?

I hesitate to dignify that with an answer as I detect a hint of sarcasm......

I think the global banking crisis (including the collapse in Iceland) as well as 9/11 has had an impact on attendances...I certainly found myself watching telly more back then!

For years the football club has severely under sold itself to Northampton and its 230,000 inhabitants. Always doing the bare minimal marketing, as it ploughed on with the all important construction of the surrounding area, which has virtually mothballed the club hence our constant poor showing at the foot of the football league. If only we could copy the marketing strategy of Derby, Norwich, Ipswich etc.. There would soon be a serious shortage of seats. But as long as Cardoza sees extra capacity as a bad thing, we can rest assured it will be league 2 for us.

Instead of keep peddling this tripe, how about you tell us why Cardoza sees extra capacity as a bad thing?

What on earth has 9/11 got to do with people going to lower league football matches?
