Havant got 1650 a few weeks ago for an important National league game, so they clearly have potential for 2,000 if they are doing well in the Vanarama. What that equates to if they make League Two ever I dunno. But Forest Green top 2,000 gates more often that Morecambe and Nailsworth is a very small town. And as Accrington prove it isn't just about gates. By the way Solihull got 915 to watch them play Guiseley so there are several clubs with lower gates than them at this level....... and their end of the season run of games had them 2nd behind Tranmere on current form.
As Macclesfield showed it is possible to succeed on a moderate crowd and a tiny budget. Whether they can sustain EFL status when at an even greater financial disadvantage with their rivals is another matter.
A clue to the standard of the other teams in this league is the signing of Regan Charles-Cook by Gillingham. He spent almost all last season on loan at Woking. He's 21 I think, did well last season, but Woking were relegated ...... yet Gillingham still think he's capable of League One - that's the standard of the opposition next season, even the bottom sides are far from rubbish.
