Lurker - oh I see. Your guess is as good as mine at this stage! I would estimate about 5/6k home plus additional away supporters where we get the full houses. For example, didn't Sunderland take 5k to Coventry?? Certainly a few teams would bring 2/3k plus the novelty of a new stadium. If we can do a Bradford an offer cheap tickets that will also help, whether we will or not is another matter.

If you ever want to know why the ability levels of English youngsters are so poor exhibit A, FIFA games.

Alex I think we drifted into it from the new stadium discussion and the question of how 9K may be a struggle never mind 20K

Are we not reading too much in to the attendance?? As I read elsewhere it compares similarly to this time last season supplemented we were playing a less glamorous opposition with fewer away supporters. Oh and we struggle to score.

Reg Davis has spoken

Booing was deffo directed at Ref. Surrey Bob: Scunthorpe brought 204 this season, compared with 366 last. One reason for the smaller attendance. Also South Western Trains were on strike.

Thanks Pete. Never stop dancing xx

Oh, and I've seen our three wins this entire season too

I booed Sussex Don because his standard of booing was far below that of previous standards set

I was booing REPD at halt time because his last write up wasn’t u to his usual high standards

There were some boos at HT, but they were a) mild, b) muted, and c) ones of frustration more than anything.

I sit in the main stand & I heard booking at half time - not full time - could have been for the ref - but at HT wouldn't have surprised me if it was for the team - and there were 260 Scunthorpe fans

The booing was aimed at the dickwad of a ref, who is an old 'friend' of ours (Fleetwood 'swimming pool' last season anyone?) but it suits the narrative of some to believe it was aimed at the team/manager/both...

Got a sense of deja vu reading Hash's 15:41. The one lesson I have learned about being a Don is this. There have been ups, downs, even sideways, but the club that represents Wimbledon, be it WFC or AFCW, has always been full of fight. Rule 1 = win. If rule 1 not possible then rule 2 = draw. If rule 2 not on, then rule 3 = at least go down fighting. This has always been our way, and long may it continue.

Whoever came up with the turnstile bar needs applauding. Great idea but why has it taken so long? It's coming up to winter and people are not going to freeze down the other end of the ground.

I didn’t hear booing either but if there was and more noticeable in main stand I’d ask question is that cos was aimed at the ref as he removed himself from the field of play?

Lurker - precisely - a much better base with little local competition

Spit, i agree with you. The team being entertaining or not shouldnt matter as most fans will go no matter what is being served up on the pitch. The matchday experience has to be much better and we have to worry about all fans and not just the suits who pay a little bit extra

Chiggers - I don't deny we are entertaining but .....

Basically from what I can see we have a potential match attending fan base of 5K based on what we’ve sold, when, how many brought a friend to Wembley who wouldn’t attend any other time etc. To max out 9K with 1500 away fans we’re predicting a 50% increase in match attending fans based purely on the stadium move?

Getting the extra fans in NPL depends on the match day experiance,If we don't get that right from day one,we may struggle to get decent extra crowds.so cattering alcohol bars need great consideration not the usually crap!

I sit sometimes if I am allowed to stand in the John Green. Why were people booing? We had enough in that game to at least get a draw. We havnt taken our chances but we've also had some awful ref decisions.

I’m well aware of Brighton’s attendances at the Goldstone, I used to go every game when Wimbledon were away.

Chiggers - don't know where you sit or stand but it was very audible from the main stand.

That was about playing at Gillingham (quite nearby!!) and the Withdean - an athletics track with limited capacity. Look back to their attendances at the Goldstone for a better comparison and the finance behind the current club.
