BigfinLatic Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) seen as tho there is a big hype to get eveyone down to bp this weekend and usually have a post going about attendances a bp each game, i just wondered what attendance ppl reckon will be there on saturday... im going for 5500... 500mk dons I'd be stunned if itwas anywhere near 6k. I'm interested to see these big claims of attendance targets are rolled out before yet another relatively uninspiring game - seriously, are they just setting us up for another Corney rant when they are "so let down" when it doesnt happen...? The next home game is 'udders - surely it would be a mich better PR exercise to go all guns balzing for a big crowd for that one? Instead we will probably get big whinge again next week....

OldhamSheridan Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It is an odd game to target and you wonder why they are doing it. I suspect the attendance will comfortably begin with a 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.O.A.M Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It is an odd game to target and you wonder why they are doing it. I suspect the attendance will comfortably begin with a 4. In fairness to Corney, I think he is perfectly entitled to a 'big whinge' after all they do. I understand times are hard nowadays, God Bless America for that, there are so many mitigating circumstances why people just don't go, but to not break 5000 is just 'sorry'!

The people who are going to help us break 5000 are not hardcore and aren't going to go unless the product is good. Every time we have a half decent crowd the product is crap e.g. Huddersfield.

pdw76 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 To be honest these ARE the games we need to be targeting new/lapsed fans, as they will choose to turn up for games like Huddersfield/Leeds/Leicester etc regardless. The more we get tomorrow the more chance of those people returning again, be it Huddersfield or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It is 1st v 5th - that's a big game. But its not, is it? A big game is where you can expect the away fans to contribute somewhere areound a quarter of the crowd. That wont happen with this game. ... unless they send an extra 1500 sky reporters to gather quotes from the greatest living manager outside Peterborough... RDM.... It will happen with Huddersfield.

laticsmad Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) I do think 1 or 2 other latics fams will be tempted back due to our great start to the season with a decent following from MKdons but think we will just dip under 6000. My guess.....5865. Edited September 12, 2008 by laticsmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Lions Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think we'll break the 5K barrier, but wont get above 5.5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie82 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Local circket in it's last weekend, St Anne's v's Saddy Rangers and Liverpool v's Man Utd on TV. I personally know of 7 who won't be at BP because of the above. Town game may well see a bumper gate, MK Dons won't. 4750.

I cant see the cricket or 'the game of morons' affecting the attendance much. But United being on, followed by City against Chelsea certainly will. I think TTA best prepare for yet another undeserving low gate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Both the city and United games are on before and after our game so feasibly it won't have that bigger effect as people could watch all 3 games without missing a kick. In the ideal world and if we had the facilities we would be able to show these games in a bar in one of the stands concourses we could really cash in on something like that I hope its something we consider for the future. Me my Dad and my bro aren't going this saturday due to a wedding but will be making up for it against Hudds as we have enticed atleast 4 friends to come down.

longtimeblue Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 will be over 5500 - i think it will be around the 6 mark, after 5 games people will start to believe we cant be a bad side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slurms mckenzie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Stockport County have averaged 2 thousand higher than us with an arguably smaller fanbase - but with a more proactive presence in the area including local advertisements, better pricing structure, and the "Super 10" ticket offer - also, they don't have a local paper, and their supporters have to rely on the MEN.

I always find this weather excuse amusing... does anyone on here admit they miss a game due to bad weather? Does global warming mean clubs are going to begetting attendances of 100 or so in the year 2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Good to see the Chron this week printing the club's comment urging more fans to get down to BP.

Does global warming mean clubs are going to begetting attendances of 100 or so in the year 2020? Well I must admit I don't like watching football when it's too hot - prefer a cold crisp winter's day - and then there's the wind - that really ruins a good game. Rain is not much fun either if it's coming down hard. Only games I miss due to bad weather are when they are called off due to fog/frozen pitch/waterlogged pitch etc Edited September 12, 2008 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
