I have a photo of that F1 car, the old boy that owned it and kept it in his barn was a proper eccentric, he also had a couple of Rickshaws that he bought off the set of Miss Saigon, strange day

From the site in the OP our average attendance in the 2018/2019 season was 1375. Just shows you how far we’ve come!

We've already played Carlisle at home this season!

Not in the league.That was the pizza cup. Carlisle will be up there this season with the highest away followings in EFL 2 I would imagine only Stockport Bradford take bigger away followings in EFL 2

I still have nightmares about that day!,

Barrow v Brackley town, FA trophy replay Jan 2018 attendance 430. Freezing cold night, I remember Mousa pulling his shirt over his head when the hail stones reached biblical proportions.

I was also at the Gainsborough game it was a long 90 mins couldn’t believe how bad we were.Just shows keep the faith

There will be a few I would think. Swindon, Mansfield, Orient, Tranmere
All subjective to how your season is going of course; Carlisle are flying so of course they are getting good travelling support, that’s how football works

I went to the Carlisle Orient game before christmas and sat in with the Orient fans, I'm sure they announced they had brought 260.

The increase in attendances from, say 2017 when I started occasionally attending, have been impressive. I just wonder what all these folk were spending their time on at the weekends prior to promotion to the league? Were they supporting another team in the area or further South? Or just not bothering attending local football matches until the standard was good enough for them?

This. Of course it has always been that way, and not just at our club.

Would be great to have a couple of 4000+ attendances before the end of the season and if we stay in and around the playoffs that is quite possible.

We’ll have at least one; against Carlisle

There’s some that had the mentality of watching “non league” football was beneath them so didn’t attend because of that

So, if I buy my ticket online but cant pass through the turnstiles because I will be in the south of England,'will I still be included in the attendance figure'?.

Yes it will as I regularly do this this, I have a ST & often buy a few kids tickets on the morning of the game just to boost the gate figures ie tickets bought & boost the attendance numbers. Good on you Mall

I am a season ticket holder as is my son,he wanted his mate to go the other week so I went to buy a ticket online but you can’t buy a ticket online for a junior as they need to be accompanied since the banning of under 15 year olds,even though they would have been accompanied so Mike your days of buying junior tickets online is very commendable but not now possible online as that option has been closed online
