I’m talking about general erosion once the new stadium factor ended and casuals drifted away
12k last night
15k on Sunday
If Sun's game was on a Saturday then I reckon about 18k

We had 16.5K against Sunderland for a12.30pm kick off on TV when we were 14th in the table. Can't believe people think we'd get less than that with the season we're having.
Incredibly strange logic that we'd get that few this season against them.
Yes, playing Sunderland last season was more of a novelty.So you are saying that we'd get 1,500 less than we got last time we played Sunderland at the Ricoh in a game where there was nothing riding on it and we were't going for promotion?
I find this obsession with guessing what the attendance would be at the Ricoh a little bizarre.
I’m pretty sure the Burton game was a Saturday. Beavon was playing for themWould have been 18k on Sunday at the Ricoh. 4000 away fans.
Probably 14/15k for last night.
We had 17100 against Burton in the Mowbray season. That was a Tuesday night.

The game you might be talking about is Walsall where there was close to 16,000 which was a Tuesday
Sundays are difficult tbh, kids football and mens Sunday football league, i reckon about 15k Sunday and 12-13k last night.

Won't stop people trying though.Sundays are a nightmare. My lad can't make his mind up whether to play for his team or go to the game, but I'm sure he'll choose the city in the end. It can work the other way though, lots of people work Saturdays.
Don't agree with those estimates, but as mentioned above, pointless argument because it is impossible to be proved right or wrong.
Judging by results on ploughed fields and difficult conditions at Tranmere, Southend and Rochdale it probably would still have been a top of the table game.Given the state of the Ricoh pitch, it probably wouldn’t have been a top of the table clash and hence speculation is pointless.
Yes, because we have to deal with difficult conditions for 3 games means it's just as easy to play under difficult conditions for 25 games.Judging by results on ploughed fields and difficult conditions at Tranmere, Southend and Rochdale it probably would still have been a top of the table game.
They've shown that they can cope and that they can win with some really poor pitches. The three mentioned are probably the worst, many others have hardly been pristine. Even the pitch at St Andrews has started to show signs of wear and tear. I think we have a team this year that will get results irrespective of the pitch.Yes, because we have to deal with difficult conditions for 3 games means it's just as easy to play under difficult conditions for 25 games.
Mate, this isn't the 70s. We play football on the ground and the Ricoh was full of divots all over the pitch last year that resulted in us over playing, taking too many touches and losing points, as MR said himself. We also struggled to get into rhythm against Bristol Rovers in the cup following the Tranmere game with Robins blaming *drum roll* the pitch at Prenton Park. If you think we'd been able to get the same results all season on a pitch that rolls up like a carpet and is about as smooth as sandpaper then me and MR disagree with you.They've shown that they can cope and that they can win with some really poor pitches.

(Just as an aside look at the quality an excellent Derby County footballing team produced on a quagmire of a Baseball Ground pitch in the 70s)
Love the optimism of these crowd estimates.
Personally do nt see it sadly.
Reckon at a push tuesday 11500 and on Sunday if at the Ricoh 13000 including the 4000 Sunderland. pusb
It's on tv mate so there's plenty of folk who would rather watch on skyYou think it’d be below last seasons average? Have a word with yourself.
No, a realist thats all.You think it’d be below last seasons average? Have a word with yourself.
No, a realist thats all.
Last season was last season. Most,lots will watch on sky, ifollow or in the pub and of course theres those that do nt travel out of Cov.
Any excuse not to go to the actual game really.
Anway, I ll be there as usual.

Attention seeking lol.This game, was on Sky last year and got 16k, our attendances rise about 10% YoY with relative success. To think it’d be lower isn’t “realism” it’s attention seeking pessimism.
