Attendances

I thought we were going to be the big fish as far as attendances were concerned and was happy that the 4930 would be sufficient to put us well and truly head and shoulders above the rest until,to my shock horror, I saw Wrexham achieved a crowd of 5777!.
This surprise prompted me to look at their average for last season and noticed it was about 4.3k ,so what was the reason for the unusually big crowd ? Is Fylde a local derby and do they take big away followings ? was there an offer on ?.Like us ,has something happened to give the fans a lift ?.
Anyway I'm confident we will top the 5k mark on Saturday ,or at least I believe they deserve it and maybe Wrexham will revert to type .

AFC Fylde only took 150 fans, so that means there were 5,627 Wrexham fans. Just looked at their ticket prices and they seem very reasonable and sell family tickets. I think the appeal could be the manager Sam Ricketts who played 52 times for Wales and has only been appointed manager in May. His first managerial job in football.

Last night we got more fans against Aldershot than Mansfield did against Newport. Mansfield got 4,423 vs Newport on Saturday. Majority of people in Nottinghamshire follow Notts County or Forest. Also a lot of people think there were more last night at the Aldershot game than been reported, turns out the away fans got given bits of paper with Away written on them because the IT system went down.

Wrexham were always well supported. Don't forget they regularly used to play in Europe and much higher up than us.
Leyton O should be getting good numbers with Hartlepool and us.
Don't think we will quite mange 5k Sat Blue, its still holiday weeks and I think Tuesday was a bit of a 1 off. Think we will average about 4500 until we get to the meaty part of the season when hopefully we will drag in a lot more.

Wrexham should be a League team. They even managed to be top for quite a while under Dean Saunders! Yet they are the longest-serving unbroken members of our league at the moment, at eleven long years is it?

Well ,there seems to be nothing other than a new manager that prompted the sudden increase in attendance at Wrexham so I'm hoping it was a blip and if we keep our form up we will certainly average over 5k.

It said on their website that tickets for the Fylde game ranged from £1 to £31.
