Re: Are we promotion candidates
46No ... and frankly the thought of us in Lge1 with Lge 1 wages, with probable average crowds of sub 2500, frightens the fook out of me!

Their late challenge for a play-off spot is underway. I think they're gonna climb the table a bit like Villa have in the Championship.

My guess would be that like Plymouth Argyle this season, our attendances would be lower at the bottom of League 1 than at the top of League 2.Fourthousand wrote: ...we get less than the lowest supported team in League1(our average would probably go up from away fans but if we were struggling what would happen to the home support).

definitely but a promotion run and the excitement that comes with it would improve our core support.Amberexile wrote:My guess would be that like Plymouth Argyle this season, our attendances would be lower at the bottom of League 1 than at the top of League 2.Fourthousand wrote: ...we get less than the lowest supported team in League1(our average would probably go up from away fans but if we were struggling what would happen to the home support).

I think so to. With regards to Plymouth who are currently struggling they are still getting a healthy 3x our attendances (9 v 3).Amberexile wrote:My guess would be that like Plymouth Argyle this season, our attendances would be lower at the bottom of League 1 than at the top of League 2.Fourthousand wrote: ...we get less than the lowest supported team in League1(our average would probably go up from away fans but if we were struggling what would happen to the home support).

You are correct FE, currently 15th not the 19th that I stated in my earlier post.faerun exile wrote:Last time I checked last week we were 15th in L2 in terms of home attendance. There are currently 7 clubs in L1 with av home crowds of under 4,300 which we would prob match. We are 2nd in L2 in terms of % of Home fans that travel to away games at 17.8%. We are bottom of L2 in terms of av away fans at RP at 218.
If promotion comes knocking let’s go for it provided it’s a sustainable decision. We are just as likely to be fighting to stay in the FL next season as we are to be pushing for promotion to or in L1.
We haven’t played anyone at home with decent support yet, Exeter should bring a few on NYD.Fourthousand wrote:You are correct FE, currently 15th not the 19th that I stated in my earlier post.faerun exile wrote:Last time I checked last week we were 15th in L2 in terms of home attendance.

So 20th last year; 15th this season (big gap to close to 14th) but the absolute average should hopefully push up on the back of good festive crowds and if we stay in the hunt we may see an average of circa 3,500 for the season.
