If we don’t go up, it’ll be the fans retained list that counts.
That is, those that will be purchasing a season ticket and those POTD punters.
I think attendances are bound to dip if we’re still in NLN next season.
I’d guess they will be 750 to a 1,000 less if we aren’t in the NL.
There may be a bit of a drop off – and hopefully if we go up there’ll be an increase
Hasn’t history demonstrated that attendances are dictated by results and league position more than which division we’re in (the ceiling reached at Championship level for instance)?
I think Rene’s projected decrease in general terms is a bit drastic. Depending where we are in NLN (if that’s the case).I wouldn’t anticipate such a huge drop off.
I just think that the ‘novelty’ factor of the NLN will have well and truly worn off if we are playing in it next season.
A reduced playing budget will probably result in players of an even lesser ability than those on the books now.
This will probably mean that we are one of many in with a chance / hope of promotion rather than ‘nailed on certs’ (Oops!)
It could well be Captain Pugwashesque rather than HM Piss The League next season.
That’s why I think we will see shrinkage.
