No abuse from me - I hope you enjoy it enough to return for some league games.

If you knew your facts it might help. And you are forgetting the one single most important thing- success.

Completely wrong- you’re saying that a division above, better opposition, better football, pushing to get promoted there are only 2,000 floating fans to go after, weird thinking.

But I was told we only have 12,000 fans in total just now, you must have something wrong here

Why would it be double? (12k). We had that last season and were never in the top 6.

Last season we averaged 12k and prices were ‘normal’. The last season in the Championship, the average gate was over 15k. That was in a season, where by comment consent, performances were very poor. In a successful season, inevitably, average attendances rise. Why wouldn’t ours for this season?

Must be Birmingham fans as It’s been made clear to me that we don’t have enough supporters to sell this many tickets

It's in the wording I'd guess. most aren't actually boycotting as such, but that actually makes it worse, as SISU / Wasps etc. have created the conditions to mean they aren't going to games!

Are they including the season ticket seats that are reserved but not yet purchased in the figure of tickets sold or is not including those, cause I wonder how many seats are going to appear in the kop on Tuesday when the season ticket seats go on sale

We go up about 10% a season with some level of success, down about the same without it. Promotion/relegation = ~30% up/down respectively.
I think 12k last season would equal about 13k-13.5k this.

Three of us also jumping on the bandwagon for our first match at St Andrews.
However, I have done MK Dons away in the Leasing.com trophy this season so I refuse to be classed as a glory supporter!

Interested to know what makes you feel like attending the 4th round cup over any league games ?

Simply the fact that this has piqued the interest and actually have two mates who fancy it and is all set up to be a good day out.
Without going around in circles the absolute cluster fuck of SISU/The Ricoh/Wasps etc. has meant that Saturdays up the football have been replaced by me and the lads I went up with, with other things. Mainly sitting in the boozer drinking and gambling the afternoon away.

Don’t get how people refuse to go in the league but the FA CUP is totally fine ? Weird

Why do you have to be refusing?
Yopu might just be more interested in this, and so it tips you over the edge into going rather than not going.

It’s not so much the competition, it’s the opponents.

I’m hoping that we don’t do what we normally do in these situations when we get a large crowd at home - blow it & get beaten!
My hope is we continue to play the slick & flowing passing game that’s got us so far this season and the fans that make it over for this game press the repeat button and come again for some league games.

Yep. If we got Reading or Luton there wouldn’t be much interest

The average was around 11.3 if you take the community game out. The championship season had several big games away attendance wise.

12362 with the community game.11709 if you don’t count it. I would have thought that greater away followings was one of the perks of being in the Championship. It will be the same for all clubs.

to be honest all this arguing about what attendances we will/will not get is irrelevant.
What we need to do going forward is grow the club. On field, in my opinion, SISU have a strategy for doing that, off the field they don't.
Throw in other entities working against the club and it's a worry.

Spot on. We’ve not had any kind of sustained success on the pitch for decades- get that right and the crowds will balloon, you can’t plan for bigger crowds, you win matches and that takes care of itself.
Ring Of Steel

We are the kind of club when you can get 11,000 one week and 27,000 the next- the crowds will just match the consistency on the pitch. Doesn’t help that every time we had very big crowds we blew it either.
Every ingredient you need to alienate crowds- we’ve had them in spades- yet when excitement is there we can find 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 fans from seemingly nowhere. They are there but they need a reason to come back and it’s more than one good season, its sustained belief that the club is on the up.
