Reply To: Average NL Attendances 2024-25

[Rene Artois]

How do we increase the support?

There are plenty of TV glory hunters who follow the likes of the Manc duo, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal.

Then there’s the ones who make the trip along the M180 / M62 to Leeds and those that cross the Humber to watch the mudrats.

More supporters through the gates should generate extra revenue, which we need to have a hope of ever returning to the EFL.

Do you have a cunning plan, Mr Matthew ‘Baldrick’ Roberts?

Promotion to L2 may be beyond the Clubs impendency for the next five years?

Short term, we can measure Roberts success as a CEO by improving the average attendance over the first year by 15% to just over 5,000.

Success would be to improve the attendance a further 20% to an average of 6,000 for season 2026-27.

If he can achieve that, then he’s succeeded over the next 2 years.

If he’s still here in 3 seasons time then success would be measured by securing a play off place.

If we’re not in L2 by 2029-30, then he’s failed.

How long on average do CEOs remain in post at football clubs?

Five years seems an ample timeframe to deliver EFL football.

Let’s scrutinise the CEOs rather than always getting on players & managers backs!
