If the away/home form was reversed (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

I wonder what the attendances would have been up the Ricoh?

10 wins, 3 draws away from home and a number of away wins on the trot.

For the club you have to think financially it would have been so much better the other way round!

We get no revenue from away league games and if we were winning at home we would be getting better crowds.

The break even now apparently is 11k. Had the away/home results sequence between reversed then maybe we would be getting close to 14k - 15k (dependent on away followings) each home game and the club would be in a much more healthier financial position.

While we keep losing at home fans will continue not to come.

If the break even is 11K, and we are averaging over 11K, then are you saying we are breaking even now? (Especially when you factor in the unexpected cup tie revenues this season).

If we are then you have to applaud SISU for their recent financial management (that's if you believe 11K is break even).

TF said it was 11k.

Recall him saying it on the radio a few weeks back.

Presumably as we're paying no rent?

sadly I don't think it would make a difference to attendances. If we were sitting in the playoffs, then we would have seen an increase but only slightly.

I disagree.

If we were winning nearly every home game more fans would be going up.

I am convinced of that. Some people support the team through and through and some go to watch a winning team.

I reckon we would have 2,000 more if we were winning nearly every home game and the atmosphere at the Ricoh would be so much better too.
