So there's clearly a feel good factor around the football scene at the moment (for obvious reasons) but looking at it from a CCFC point of view, we've had a great season and gained promotion. We've had a pretty decent closed season with (so far) only 1 player out and a few decent ones in. Few extra thousand STs sold but I think we've about reached the limit now, but...... If England actually won this thing, would it have a knock on effect with the City? If we won this with only 2 weeks til the season, would it put that football fever into enough people to have a huge gate for the Scunthorpe game on 4th August? Would an England win effect the City gate AT ALL or am I just wishfully thinking?
With 7k STs already sold I'd expect a gate of around 11k for the opening game. Could an England win bump that up to maybe 15-16k? And with a good start to the season, could we keep them there?
Football has been pretty crappy for English Cov fans over the last 10 years, so you'd imagine it would certainly help a lot of folk to fall back in love with football
Will depend on a couple of factors, McNulty is replaced and nobody else significant such as Bayliss leaves.
I would like to think an opening gate of 12000+ is achievable.
