One of our better midweek attendances. Down to JFH and the opposition. Keep us this form and the Bradford game could get close to a sell out.

Its more the sib standard Sixfields affect neutralising JFK one.
Sixfields is the stadium equivalent of a pig with lipstick.
It doesnt work.


Even though it was higher than any other mid-week league game last season?

We have a loyal band of several thousand that turn up every week or when they can so until we have a major sales and  multi marketing strategy, that isnt a token gesture but one thats long term, that uses all the successful campaign's seen at our more progressive rivals, we just stay the same.
Just one problem with that despite what kelvin says, our ground doesn't allow us to build up it supporters base.
Those boxes if they ever see the light of day will certainly help but we need extra capacity in the shape of a 3000 bank of terracing in order to give Sixfields a more atmospheric must visit venue for both new, existing and visiting  supporters.

Heres the average gates for next season... (assuming league 1)
Smaller clubs sat, Sc***horpe fleetwood etc  5000.
Smaller clubs tues, 4500.
Bigger/local games posh, ox, luton, Blackburn etc  6/6400 capacity.
Bigger/ local games tues, 5500.
These figures have been steady since 1996 and will be the same until something gives.
Kelvin could be trying to buck the trend and shoehorn a 1000 new fans into sixfields with them paying £24 on the day.. It aint happening me old duck, you need to reconsider your no growth stance.

Your forecasted avg gates seem to suggest that our 7,500+ seater stadium does give us the ability to grow our supporter base as most games we will have 2,000+ empty seats!

Anyone else noticed recently that there are a large number of empty seats in the east stand? I mean it never is sold out, but there are now row after rows of them, especially towada the north stand. When I first started going in the early to mid noughties it was always fairly full and we still had 5000+ gates.

A row of seats next to me in the West Stand is rarely occupied. My mate tried to get a season ticket for his grandson there but told they are all taken. Is it a corporate thing?

You do know we are talking about home support only in this thread? We have just 6400 seats for our more attractive games,  a couple hundred crap seats and singles is usual.
But if you factor in a major county wide sales pitch to get fans in to fill the newly built 3000 large bank of terracing giving a much bigger match day experience to home and visitoring fans, with everything geared up for steady and sustainable growth, something that has been agreed is needed but no one at the club ever has the stomach or passion to see it through.

Last season we had our highest average attendance for 20 years, so must be have done something to attract those extras.
I do agree with the view that a bigger capacity would encourage the floating fan who is maybe put off by the price and limited availability at times, restrictions on buying, lower rows, corner seats etc.
The JFH effect will attract new people I'm sure but will they return if they don't like the Sixfields experience?

Is the east stand, north end still the family area and place where all the flag bearers sit? If so, i would expect it to be more empty for a night game in September with school in the morning.

Yeah that's right, always emptier for night games and the early season games when schools still on hols and straight after. So, expect to see this area filling up in the next few games as the marketeers get out there with there offers.

It's a bit of an indictment when the family bit of the east stand where all the kids are with their freebies is practically empty by the 70th minute - doesn't exactly suggest that they'll be begging their mum or dad to come back any time soon.
