Possibly the highest league 1 attendance for a few years.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

And I wonder what the gate will be against Yeovil ??? 10K

 

[Huckerby]

I feel like ive been a bit disconnected from it the last day or two - are we selling 30,000 tickets now then?

Afraid not; Leeds got 33,434 for their home game against Brighton in the 13/14 season. I would - however - bet decent money it would be highest attendance ever for a live-televised League One game

 

[Flying Fokker]

It certainly will be for a Friday 5th September 2014.

Have a look at the quote here - the 6th bullet point under 'Attendances'

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Leeds had 38k for matches against Gillingham in 2008 and 38k vs Bristol Rovers in 2010

Thats for the entire football league, that was a championship fixture.

Doh! Oops, sorry!

A good run of form, no defeats 6-8 wins from 10, near top of the league i think we will consistently be over 20k.

Gillingham must be some club.. then

 

[Ashdown]

To get over 30,000, all released ST seats, the top tier of the corporate and block 9 must be Sold and the Gills must bring about a 1000 I imagine...............possible ?

Who gives a fuck.????

it will be what it will be.

cheer up and enjoy the homecoming mate...... rather than trying to look a turd in the soup

 

[LB87ccfc]

The real problem is.. covcraig@bury is indeed correct.. alot have jumped on the bandwagon and won't be back for a while after. shame.

 

[fernandopartridge]

When we'd gone 10 games unbeaten having won at MK we squeaked 15k at home on new years day.

That said, I think some of the Ricoh malaise amongst fans might have been addressed by the Northampton move. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ...

 

[letsallsingtogether]

So tell us something new.....

[Ashdown]

If we can average 12,000 going forward and get the corporate going again along with other revenue streams from car parking, programmes, merchandise etc, we should still have one of the bigger budgets in League 1 next season..........As long as debt interest payments and management fees are kept to a bare minimum !

Exactly. It wasn't that long ago that people were bemoaning the fact we had 'lost a generation' of fans by moving away for one seasonsand that it would take years to win them back.

Well, we're back, and it'll be a full house. Beyond that we get 10K to 15K and I think we'll be doing well.

 

[Noggin]

yep, if we get 12k average for this season we'll have done very well and we should be very pleased with that indeed, it will mean alot of the damage from being away has been negated.

 

[bigfatronssba]

The average club in this division gets about 6-7k, for us to have 11-12k should allow us to easily compete at the top end.

 

[M&B Stand]

Only results will bring people back. Win Friday and Yeovil will be easily over 15k, first Saturday afternoon back and all that. Looking further than that, Preston are league challengers and will bring a few. Keep winning, punters will keep turning up. Before you know it, the budget has gone up, we can afford better wages to bring more quality in and the snowball starts rolling. That's how it works in my mind, I'm the king of wishful thinking.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Well of course it will be a lower crowd against yoevil, the price will be more than double. The pricing of football in this city needs to reflect the wages that are earned here now, gone are the skilled jobs of the car factories, replaced by warehouses offering the minimum wage or slightly more.12000 at £22 or 20000at £15 I know where I think it should be.

 

[Ashdown]

Yeah I agree Johnny, I can relate to that. Prices have to reflect disposable income in a direct relation to what you are offering. £10-£15 per match is quite reasonable, most people won't want to pay £24-£27 at this level.
