Crowds of 15kish next season! How will it affect you?

[Diego Napier]

Your usual boring bilge.

 

[BensGrandad]

Even if, which seems unlikely, we are relegated the gates will not drop below 18000 as we would be in contention for promotion also the future under CH in this division looks bright so again not less than 18000 although probably more buy on the day tickets.

A couple of midweek games this season had low crowds, i thought the atmosphere seemed better. Lower crowds, if it happens will not spoil my enjoyment.

Oh dear Rev, seems yet another of your 'look at me' posts getting a kicking. I guess you feel that any positive post might not get you enough attention.....bit sad I suppose.

Yawn

will smaller crowds affect your match day experience ? Positives could be quicker service with transport and catering a chance to move about sit in other areas etc.
Negatives possible closure of catering outlets and cutting back on park and ride,general atmosphere of a less than half full stadium plus implications for playing budget.
In short is it good or bad for you?

Even if there were crowds of 15k it would still be better than we thought it would be. In the Withdean era when we used to discuss 'Falmer' (how quaint that sounds now) on here the general consensus was that we'd sell it out, or as near as dammit, for the first year or two because of the novelty factor. Then crowds would probably drop off to about *finger lick* 12,000. We even discussed what areas of the ground should be tarped off!


(On the negative side though, in those days circa 12,000 was bandied around as the break-even figure!)

can't anyone limit the amount of threads the op starts? Same tedious ramblings time after time, change the record please.

last one was 4 weeks ago!

Dull,dull,dull...Yawn.

Whats the negative about the post? Honestly i have no power to make crowds drop,i just see things as they are.I thought it was a positive looking at certain gains when the crowds drops,i'm sure other threads might have mentioned lower crowds

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Next season we will continue to have an incredible amount of STHs for a mid-ranking Championship club.

Not sure exactly how many but closer to 20,000 than to 15,000.

Assuming we have a decent season then our average gate is likely to be closer to 25,000 than to 20,000.

These figures are magnificent and a source of some pride (more or less) for most Albion fans.

BORE OFF.

15K is extremely negative.

Just because you prefer watching non league don't assume everyone else has the same attitude. We've had one poor season out of four at the Amex and if things start of well in August then the crowds will be back. Even if they don't, expect crowds of 20k at the very least.

 

[gripper stebson]

Not quite sure how smaller crowds will equate to less queues for pies / beer. Surely the club will just employ less staff = same queues.

If you are as you claim to be just seeing things as they are can you please provide the proof to back this up and show us how you know that the crowds will be at 15k.

If you can't provide this, you are just putting your usual negative Slant on your wild speculative guess and it has nothing to do with how it is but just another tedious dig at the club and seems to suit your club negativity and look at me agenda and the pretty much everyone (club included) would be better off without it

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

When we hit the ground running and get off to a great start, the crowds will be HIGHER.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

On a personal level, nobody likes a queue shirley, so it's all good on that level. However, most folks will recognise that what's good for the individual is bad for the club. Happy to grin and bear the longer queues - so long as the club start showing a degree of genuine ambition, as opposed to just a glib slogan.

Surprising, but only further indicates 90%+ of your OP's are generic 'look at me' threads with something negative to say about the Amex and or club. It's incredibly tedious and makes you look like a knob. That is all.

Quite right. BAN him for even discussing it. GET HIM OUT.
