oafc1955 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Only 4300 tics today?.........from the mainstand the Chaddy looked to Have 3000 in there so the mainstand was only half full...surely thats wrong. If true thats really poor and not à great following from Bradford either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wasn't it the highest home following this season? Yeah and 1300 up on tuesday. Hopefully a few more get through the door next home game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Had to be wrong the Chaddy was not far off full and the main stand looked to be not far off. Definitely a cock up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) always messing with the figures, not sure why but the attendance is never 100% factual Edited October 25, 2014 by kieranmcandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 They only hold about 5 and half thousand betweeen them don't they? Seems about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu-Blood Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 We have 2 home league games before Christmas against two very poorly away supported teams. Crawley & Yeovil! Surely, it's time for an offer to be put out to encourage a bigger crowd at both games. Maybe could even add the JPT game into an offer to get the attendance for that a bit higher!

Chaddy_Ender Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Its a :censored:ing fiddle if half them seats in that ground where empty then im the King of England makes us look :censored:in tinpot, dont moan about the crowd when your cooking the :censored:in books.

mattyg101 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wasn't too impressed by their following, thought they would bring a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hard to believe that there were less Latics there today than for the same fixture last season after the dire start to that campaign. If the figures are correct - it looked like the Chaddy and Main Stand were virtually full from where I sat - it's quite disappointing we didn't even break 4500. Looks like it's going to take a lot to get these stayaways back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) The crowds will take time before they really go up its a gradual process Those 4300 who went today will have gone home happy and that means they are more likely to come back and also tell more people about the fact they have seen a Latics team win, go to 13 matches unbeaten and now break into the top 6. Keep winning and overtime the crowds will come. Edited October 25, 2014 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Promotion will get them back. Good performances and creeping up the league will get a few in but to really notice a difference promotion is needed. Attendances are always fiddled anyway, there's about 6000 between the main and chaddy, no way there were 1700 empty seats between the two.

Bradford commentators said 1500 from them so that's already 3100 empty seats (RRE holds 4600). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Bradford commentators said 1500 from them so that's already 3100 empty seats (RRE holds 4600). The Bradford portion of the gate looked about right. Quite a few empty seats in their section. It was the home bit I would be questioning. But quite frankly, the attendance is just a number it's what we make from those attending that really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisbrogan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Is anybody on here saying that ground was only half full today ? There were plenty of empty seats in the Chadddy near where I was sat. Thought the turn out could have been much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Missed opportunity today. We should have knocked a fiver off the entry for a "high profile" game like this. Then offer those that came in a 3 pound voucher off the next home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 A special offer for the Yeovil match may be an idea, December 13th being the last home game pre Christmas, which traditionally brings a lower gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brierleys555 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 we don't need special offers. Latics have tried them all. Keep playing attractive football at home and more will come. We have had 5 years with rubbish style football and poor results at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pure financial return terms it's not good to reduce prices when there's a large away following Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Slightly disappointed with the crowd, more so with the away following. Expected nearer 7k than 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLatics Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 we don't need special offers. Latics have tried them all. Keep playing attractive football at home and more will come. We have had 5 years with rubbish style football and poor results at home. Spot on. It goes further than that, too. There's been little-to-no hope on the football front for years. The last promotion gained by either the main football and rugby league club in Oldham was over 20 years ago. I'd love to see the supporters come back but I'm certainly not going to criticise those who fail to come running down Sheepfoot Lane on a Saturday afternoon. My aim is to tell those who have stopped attending matches about how well we're performing this season. If they take a few fixtures in I'll be happy, but I won't lose much sleep if they don't. I understand why a load stay away. Attendances steadily decline. They also steadily improve. We can't expect miracles over the course of a few weeks.
