Popular Post asteener1867 Posted November 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Was a great atmosphere last night, brought on by the relentless, though sometime misdirected attacking play. The fans stayed behind the team more or less all the game, culminating in in something MK Dons couldn't cope with. There are PLENTY of teams in this division that will be totally unused to that sort of raw passion, cos thats what it was, leading up to Gregory's equaliser I think their manager admitted as much after the game. Thats with only 18k (or less?) in the ground That winner was simply sucked into the net. How was that not a penalty when Gregory was clattered into from behind in the area?..cue more passion,just over the bar, cue more passion, Hunt hits the post, screaming shouting, urging.... The winner? I'm 63 yr old..I always make my way down the Kop injury time, then hang around in the corner like a male prostitute... when THAT went in..I just spun around for 2 minutes screaming absolute garbage. Walking out of the ground, the smiles on the faces, fist pumps with strangers, thats what being a Wednesday fan is. Last night was what it was all about, play attacking football, have a go Anyone who thought "Meh" I'll not bother tonight?...I think that fair enough, but f.ookinell...you missed a treat Edited November 24, 2021 by asteener1867 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot still think £25-32 for division 3 football is too much Bar the last few games the football has been awful viewing. And with the anti fan approach with alot of what DC has done over the last few years, it's going to more than a few good results to get the fans back. Many fans will support the club but not give DC any of their hard earned cash to waste. Don’t let McMightside hear you say about football being awful, we’re unbeaten you know, that’s all that counts.

A lot of people don’t live in Sheffield, I live in Doncaster and didn’t get home until just before 11, luckily I wasn’t at work today but if I was, I’d have had to get up at 5am. I think that puts a lot of people off, especially in manual jobs, doing a 12 hour shift on the back of 5-6 hours work isn’t an attractive feat. Especially when the midweek matches are also on the Red Button/ifollow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsleyowl1996 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If performances and results continue we should certainly be getting 22/23k home fans + for standard home games on Saturdays . Would hope even more for others . Hopefully get 21-22k on Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTY BOY Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 8 hours ago, Southie_Owl said: Yep there’s a link between level of performance/table position and attendances. When the Saints came down to league 1 their average attendance was 20.9k, and in the following promotion season was around 22k. And then went up again in the championship. Getting 18K on a cold school night in league 1 still seems decent to me The reason for poor attendances is obvious. For the past twenty odd years we've been crap and prices are far too high for the average fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

should know better Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I don't think any championship clubs got 18k tonight so it's not too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portia Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The attendance was over 18,500. Looking at recent history this shows an increase on what we uses to get in league one, I can remember last time in league one and the time before getting around 16k on a night match. Last night's attendance shows an increase of around 1.5k on the 11/12 season. Look at the attached screenshot, that match was on a Saturday... Chansiri has failed in many ways however he has grown our active fanbase, the stats back this up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggowl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I nearly went to MK Dons but decided £27 (Grandstand with my lad) is too much, particularly as I've been a bit bored watching so far this season. OK it was the wrong decision based on the performance but 2/3 performances like that I won't be able to resist. £29 v Wycombe!!?? Might go, might not! On a side note I know more Wednesday fans who don't go to games regularly/never than I know regular/casual (4-5 per season) attenders. Is this typical for everyone else? Maybe cos I've always lived around an hour away and they can't be bothered!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found something cheaper / warmer / more entertaining to do and haven’t found the motivation to return? Appreciate absence made the heart grow fonder for some fans but suspect some found something better to do during CoVid.

Haha I know , don’t get me wrong there are some valid reasons about but you don’t half hear some stinking excuses . One of my favourites is when people complain at the cost but add things on like going for pints and food and other bits it’s like well just make food at home and don’t have 10 pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
