U Reds!!

 

Think you've overestimated a bit on some of those. Ipswich, Bristol and Reading won't bring more than a few hundred, especially if it's a midweek fixture. Reckon we'll average around 10,000 home fans if we're playing ok. Average attendance will be just under 12,000 imho, though this could be swelled if we're in good form when we play Leeds, Wednesday or Newcastle or get them around Xmas / new year, in which case I'd expect 19-20,000 at those games.

 

Yes, it's obvious that we will draw bigger crowds next year but I think that will depend on how we are doing. If we struggle then matches against the less fancied teams will attract four figure crowds so much like this season just gone.

It's all about how we play. A good first few months with us sitting in the top ten positions will make such a difference. It all snowballs - good performances, good results, big crowds, even better additions to the squad.

The hoopy socks might be taking us up to the Premier again

 

SYP will limit all games to 16k max. Probably less if they find out there's a few Russkies in Tarn.

Wednesday will be a lunchtime kick off on tele I reckon so probably not a massive attendance, would hope to break 20,000 against Newcastle.

 

Surely they can't justify doing that again. I hate to bring it up but Wednesday had summat like 36,000 at their promotion clincher a few year ago and that's the venue that created SYP's anxiety so how they can put an arbitrary limit on our capacity takes the p*ss.
