    Draw your own conclusions

    By the way the best average attendances were in the few years immediately after the Second World War when averaged about 20,000 (tier 2 / championship level). The worst season was 1972/73 when we averaged just 2,900
    (tier 4), and yes, I was one of them.

    To say Barnsley is a low income area i think those figures are decent.

    So the average home attendance hasnt really changed in the last 6 seasons - it only goes up in the last couple of years due to the contribution of some away teams like Sheff U/Weds, WBA and Leicester who bring a few thousand.

    Basically we stabilized to our current core fans in 2002 then having the part timers that joined for the Prem season drift away over the previous seasons - last straw being relegation to div 3 - probably picked a few hundered back up when we got promoted but thats all.

    I was there in the 72 73 season as well - fortunately as I had only been watching for a couple of seasons I didnt know any better
