    Maybe in stead of Rose coloured glasses we could buy a reality check... less than 9,000 home fans at a game and we still think we can compete with others in this leauge that get 25,000 a week. I'm selling reality glasses free with season tickets. But I've already heard that most no renewing... Great fans!

    Fans are having a reality check, that's why the criticisms are rife

    Why does having a lower budget prevent a manager from going out to try and win games and players failing to do the basics on a regular basis on the pitch? Why does having a lower budget mean we cant we have more than 2 or 3 attempts at goal per game?

    Is it not being realistic to expect your team to roll there sleeves up at least have a go at the opposition on a regular basis and have belief in themselves? Afterall, if the players don't believe in themselves how can they expect anyone else to?

    average attendence for the championship is approx 17,000..............admittedly we are third from bottom.
    but thats the price for lack of ambition,not just the fans to blame for this mess!!

    We only got around 4-5k attendances the year we got promoted into the Premier League so that arguement doesnt quite sit with me.

    Why does less than 9,000 home fans excuse the lack of on target attempts on goal we've had this year? I go to games now not with optimism but just hoping we get a couple of on target attempts to get excited about.

    I think you'll find it was a bit higher than that, even in the first few games. It must have been the 70s when the crowds dropped that low.

    I'm sure I remember a league game in the 90's where there were 3,500 fans, southend maybe? I started going in the mid 80's and the fane base was around 5,000 for most that time and breaching 6,000 was an achievement.

    3,400ish against Southend around 1993 it was 0-0 and Troy Bennett made his debut, thats the lowest league crowd l've ever sat in by a good 1500 and l've been watching since 1983, l can't recall average attendances under 5,500 throughout the 90's.

    edit: 6,337 was the lowest attendance during 96/97 promotion year, home to Oxford. Average 11,356.

    Re: BFC AVerage Crowds

    Cheers for that l thought so, only 1 season in the last 33 we've had crowds averaging under 6,000. Interesting that the crowds around Hunter/Clarke we around the same as the Davey years!
