Essentially we have 15,000 empty seats because our capacity is too big for our regularly attending fanbase. We could give them away for nowt and within three or games it would be the same fans turning up that are purchasing season tickets every season. if there giving away for free all the seats that arnt sold why would anyone buy a season ticket if they can get in for free ......... doesnt sound like a money maker to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this trend will continue as finance get tighter for many people. In the last 30 years our overall average attendance is 23,795. That’s from 9 seasons of PL football, 16 of Championship and 5 in Lg1. Our average last season for LG1 football was 22,470. So our attendances aren’t dropping at all, they are round about what they’ve always been as an average. We have a core 21k home fans but that realistically can drop by 4k if things are bad, regardless of ticket prices. Then it can also increase by 4k if we are challenging for promotion again regardless of ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real shame we can't have a stadium that's instantly expandable Like something out of the future or summat For most games it'd be a 25,000 seater but then when a big game comes up additional stands can be locked onto it to take it up to 50,000 (or however many we could sell) That's the dream Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve stagnated while football has flourished though…..due to 20 years of abject failure no doubt. Averages were at 21,125 in the first season of the Premier League, 30,000 by 1999, 35,000 by 2003 and circa 40k last season. Crowds in the second tier averaged 7,688 in 1986 and it’s well over 20,000 now and League One averaged 8,724 in 2019; they were 5,000 25 years ago. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/sport/article/english-football-highest-attendances 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont kid yourself this is value for money its only £25-30 if we get promoted the prices will be back up nearer £35. I don’t get your point, if we go up then absolutely so should the ticket price to roughly £30 average. Like it or not football is not the same as it was in the 80’s, and it’s still completely affordable imo to the average working person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlicer Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I understand why people don’t want categories, however I don’t mind them, as long as they’re transparent at the start of the season. any team that falls into xyz when we play them falls into this category. Any that falls into abc falls into this category. I imagine that Barnsley and Derby will be Cat A*, don’t understand how Charlton can fall into Cat A though.

When DC took over we were the biggest club in Sheffield too but our crowds have been on a downward trend since 2016/17 and their’s have been on an upward trend since 2015/16, We need to reverse that trend if we want to be the biggest club in Sheffield again but DC doesn’t seem to want to try attract new fans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
