Alty fans in attendance thread shocker
For those of you interested in this type of thing, last nights attendance pushed us past last seasons aggregate with a game to spare. 22730 (ave 1137) from 20 games as opposed to 22006 (1048) from 21. Just generally nice to see a rise in attendances. Regardless off decent gates v Vics, Oxford and Southport I'd say we've averaged about 80-100 new home fans per game. In order to average 100 more than last season (i.e.1048) we'd need to pull in 3674 from the last 3 fixtures. Unlikely as Exeter will bring a few, G&N won't and it'll be our lowest gate and Aldershot may either bring loads for a party or an unlikely play off spot.
Last seasons lowest 688 v G&N, highest 1447 v Morecambe
This season 886 v Woking / 2330 v Vics.
Ahem, bollocks. Lowest gate (so far
is 829 against Grays last week)
Interesting to note that since 1986-87 this would only be the 5th time we've averaged over a thousand.
1986/7 - 1349
1990/91 when we were awesome 1385
1994-95 Maunders/Spurs year 1002
Last season 1048 and so far 1137 this year.
Just like to say in a none embarrassing ssort of way well done to everyone, ML is a cracking atmos, esp as because I'm a dawdler when I get around to the corner (when we shoot towards Chequers) I seem to have to stand further down the side due to increased numbers (welcome aboard Jim Fallon, hope you've enjoyed coming down and all others).
There's a pertinent photo in the sponsors lounge of a Unibond game where you can stand where you bloody like in that corner and it doesn't take long to identify the hard core. Maybe that was from the 2003-2004 Unibond season where we averaged 584
(A 94.69178% increase I think)
