Figures were declining every season and returning to their natural levels. Ultimately it proves nothing.

Actual figures you must be so proud ?
What about the fans who started boycotting the SISU regime before we left the Ricoh? What about the floating support (fans who can't attend every game) within the 10,000 average at the Ricoh.
I would put our fan base around 15-20,000 rather than 10,000.

It's not 24% it has to be higher.

Makes me wonder if they do go back, what kind of admission prices they'll be charging.
If they stick to Sixfields prices, they'd be in with a chance of boosting those flagging gates.
if they go back to ripping people off, fuck them.

The last years Ricoh home attendance was a shade over 10,000 and the home average last season I believe was around 2,400. If you factor that as a straight percentage it is around 24% but that would assume every fan at Sixfields was the same every game. Many on here said they have need to a few games so an assumption of 6% spread is if anything a conservative estimate.
You're including away fans there Grendel. Excluding away fans there were (we're told) 1922 home fans, down from 10161 the year before. That is 19% of the previous year's figure.

It's still a safe assumption to assume at least 3,000 supporters have attended at least one or two games - that's still 30% of the average crowd in the league we are in. You cannot compare to championship crowds as crowds in Northampton would also rise to some extent.
It's not a tiny minority and they deserve respect.
Yet you're still obsessed with them.You could argue that it's the sixfielders that are the divisive ones. Seeing as they are a tiny tiny minority of CCFC fans.

Our fan base has never been anywhere near that naturally. Boycotting the sisu regime is a euphemism for "can't be arsed to go anymore"
Surely we all remember when grendel claimed RFC was an ACL plant ?Grendel really is the Comical Ali of Sixfielders
"There is no boycott"
"It's not a minority"

Just to end pointless debates such as this one, the return to the Ricoh couldn't come sooner
Insults always help.
To make the other party less empathetic but the sender feel a bit better for a short while.
Hobo, DWH, WEA, SB, Reg & Monners - while I agree with your posts (and some quite witty), why engage with that person. He/she is never ever wrong and debating with someone who will never change their standpoint is, well, pointless.
Withdraw the oxygen of response and they'll eventually give up - bite and you'll be reeled in.
Just my opinion, of course. :wave:
By the way - has anyone noticed that all the De Vere Hotel rooms overlooking the pitch at the Ricoh for the Sheffield match are all booked. :thinking about: wonder if it means anything?

If I've got this right, what Grendel is saying that the average Sixfields attendance represents supporters that might have just taken in an occasional game. On that basis he suggests it should be inflated to a larger figure.
However, he completely disregards the fact that every other average attendance in the league, including ours when we were at the Ricoh, similarly takes no account of supporters that attend on an occasional basis. Surely on that basis those figures should also be inflated proportionally.
I'd respect that the individuals who go to Sixfields have made their decision, and they should be free to do so (even though personally I'd rather they didn't). However, I'm afraid I've no respect for the flawed logic here, trying to proportionally inflate the Sixfields attendance into something it isn't.
In raw numbers, using Grendel's assumptions, if there's an "extra" 600 occasional supporters at Sixfields watching the club, then that represents an additional 2500 occasional supporters who are being denied the chance to watch them at the Ricoh.
