Dave_Og Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I wonder what it really is. Notable that for Saturday games since Shez's return every one has been lower than the previous one. Hardly surprising that hope ebbed away and I'm certainly not taking the moral high ground but unless we hit the ground running next season, and let's face it - that takes some imagination from here, I can't really imagine more than a couple of thousand being there.

oafc1955 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If the Lemmies are still here maybe but if they are gone and we’re under new ownership I think we would start the season with 4k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I believe the official attendance figures by any means, but they're all we've got to go on and for the six Saturday home games we averaged 6692, well up on the overall season average. That figure is inflated by the Rochdale derby and by games v neighbours like Bradford and Carlisle, admittedly but IF we are challenging next season and IF we have new and well-received owners - two massive IFs, I know - I don't see why we can't get the >5k gates that Shez has pulled in.

There is great potential there for investment and the price should have dropped markedly. The big question is will the ‘Lemmies’ sell….we have zero future under the current ownership and they have to realise that now, surely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Interestingly Southends average is around 6k and they are a mid Conference side at best this year. It's amazing what some fan unity and hope for the future can bring irrespective of league position or results. I think we will get 5k plus at home homes as long as we have new owners in place. We are a resilient lot as shown by the last third of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
