With holidays etc, I suspect it could be a low one, but as they report tickets sold it should be 27k+.

What would be good, what would be bad, and what would be a total disaster?

I think the club will. They should be looking for late 20's for every game this season, 30+ for the big ones. If they are struggling to sell tickets it would be a worrying sign that the bubble has burst just a little bit.

Bubbles can't burst 'just a little bit', it's scientifically impossible.

They're either burst or they aren't.

It can't be any lower than the number of STs sold as they now go on tickets sold not bodies through the turnstiles.

So take the number of STs, add on a guess for the away fans and a guess for the casuals and you'll get there.

That would suggest something more akin to a ball (foot, beach etc...) than a bubble.

Well let the club worry about it. The honeymoon period is on going clearly as we've sold 23k season tickets. What we sell on top of that will depend on who we are playing and how we are doing in the league. Having a discussion about it before every game is just dull IMO.

I'm glad it's not just me that is bored with this boards obsession with attendances. The people who use it as a one up man ship against other teams have got to be the most tedious wankers on the planet.

Palace fan: 0-2 in your back yard, premier league
BHA fan: yeah but we've got a nice ground and bigger attendances!!

2 early defeats probably won't enthuse the 'casual' fan to cough up the readies.
