Quote: SirStan "Average 9000?
Based on crowds declining every year since their 8500 peak in 2008, I think getting back to an average 8000 would be a more realistic aim.'"
Maybe I am being over realistic, but on average on our crowds this year, the south had est 400 to 500 every match (and that's being generous). Take that figure off our average over the year and that puts us to 7000 fans.
Next year with the north stand open to home and away support, you would have to say at least 80% of the stand would be filled every home match making that a total of just over 2000 fans. Add a smattering of south stand fans, then I cant see why 9000 wouldn't be achievable.
