Suzuki_San Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Would be interesting to see what clubs have taken up iFollow and if it affects attendance. I know Middlesbrough and Sunderland don’t offer the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeowls87 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 When You think we have played 4 Home Games so far, 2 of them have been midweek which always sees slightly lower crowds and 1 of the Saturday games was live on Sky I think it's to be expected that our average will be down slightly on where we expect it will be come May Sheffield United and Leeds next 2 games should Hopefully fetch over 30,000 even with them being on Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then take into account the momentum United have from last season's success, 6 years out of the division, and of course the far cheaper ticket prices. Expected United to have a much bigger average attendance at this point of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most people's eyes, it is a contributor as to what makes a club 'bigger' than another. Personally, I go with top flight honours alone - English League Champions, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup, and European Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a forum about matters concerning SWFC and the health of the club which is indicative of the number of people who feel the urge to go to the games surely!!!

Mr Mercury Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The last 3pm kick off at home was Saturday - August 19th. The next one is November 18th. ! Midweek fixtures at home & accommodating sky for games has a huge bearing. Puts a lot of people off I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
