oafc1955 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Nearly 5500 home fans today....that's 2k up on the norm....where've they been all season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Both Manchester clubs not playing today, local derby, on a good run but still a vital game, plus last home game of the season will probably all add a few hundred on to the gate each.

NewBlue Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That's more than what Bury and Rochdale get most weeks combined. I do miss the rivalry we used to have with Huddersfield and Tranmere. Maybe Wigan can be that side next year, cos Rochdale don't provide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Positive way to end the season all round really. If Bolton mess it up next week, and Blackburn come down, average attendance could get a healthy boost next season. But it's Latics, so maybe not!

Fans of Wigan in their early 20's would have just about remembered playing us. Probably take a while to reignite that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 2500+ to their place and they bring similar to ours and it'll soon reignite. Think they see Bolton as their major rival and they'll be switching divisions so there's a gap.

Best boost they'd get is if we had a decent start next season, today proves that there are fans who will turn up if they feel we are onto something.

aaronoafc Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Great crowd today, looked packed. Hope we do well next year and the attendances pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont live too local anymore but I travelled for today. It all comes down to value for money and value for time and effort. Good weather, local derby, decent attendance, potential to secure survival, potential to ruin rochdales promotion chase, last home game... all in all it made it a worthwhile game. If there is value for money the fans will come, we have our best chance of bringing fans back in ages for next season if Corney keeps his promise and Sheridan stays! Need to build on this momentum!!

Andy-latic Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Love it when we get a decent crowd in, always good fun down the chaddy end side of the North Stand!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 From a selfish point of view I now want Wigan to pull of the great escape & both Blackburn & Birmingham to be relegated. Birmingham being a new ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know - the rivalry does seem to be growing year on year. I'm really starting to dislike them, which is good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit of trouble on Hilbre Avenue after the match as well which will start to spice things up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hopefully we'll be up there fighting for the playoffs with (or without) them next season which will add a bit extra to the rivalry. It's really all about consistently going up against them. Unless Keith Hill goes elsewhere, I think they're here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
