    Except we haven't had 5000 pay on the day. Not even the "once".

    I think you're backing the wrong horse here m9.

    Well our next home game (with fans present) will have between 20-25000 present. And that will include up to 5000 pay on the day types. More popcorn please.

    if you want to be specific (maybe even pedantic) it should be up to 4,909. but I think as a nice and welcoming forum we can give him the extra 91 tickets.

    The only reason it was up was down to the pandemic folk wanting to get back in and see live football .........you really think the same will happen if our current form continues or there is no transfer in January ????
    Put it this way had Covid not come along then them figures would have been way down ......... Adams or no Adams last season was dross and had VP had crowds during the pandemic then our gates would have dropped dramatically as well ................ take the season ticket sales away and actually put how many folk have been at the actual game and I bet it’s a few thousand shorter than there saying .............I mean the Sutton game what was the attendance 14k ?????? When in reality it was around 8k so that’s 6k that stayed away now that is very worrying indeed because if that many are staying away then you can put money on that 2k at least will go missing when season tickets go on sale

    Did they invest enough to make sure City had firm foundations? The back room was not replaced to the same degree after Park left or the same standard. To say we were going to have strategy of bringing in younger players hardly had money thrown - done on the cheap and very little return.

    Oldham home
    17,200
    Season ticket holders 12.700
    Oldham fans 1,100

    now that shows we had 3,400 pay on the gate fans

    so how you getting 5k is beyond me it’s more around the 1k since that match

    This is a bit of a stretch but the Burger King link up with Stevenage had more impact than expected.

    Now, I'm not saying the aim of that was to get them to the Premier league but they sold out of shirts ridiculously quickly I believe and started accumulating fans all over. If they were perhaps better on the pitch or they had made more of it then it could have snowballed.

    Just a different but similar angle that shows creativity sometimes works!

    Make your mind up on the clarity point you're keen on. Either it was 5000, or it wasn't.

    I'll give you a clue though. It wasn't.

    nice and welcoming forum, wow got that one wrong.

    Theres a large difference between saying up to 2000 (and the average )and up to 5000 or specifically 4909

    splitting hairs over 81 tickets, haven't you got anything else better to do on a Monday?

    its a really interesting state for this forum when theres 3 or 4 pages on here “discussing” how up to works and also rather passive-aggressively tell him or other that he is wrong (when he wasnt.)

    nit picky bantam talk reigns supreme again.

    Read the full thread please, none of the original posters mentioned 5k home fans only. Just 5k overall.

    It was a decent budget for the football operations terribly used because Rahic was clueless.

    Problem is we still have no-one senior in the club with any football knowledge, so chances are whatever our budget is probably doesn't have the right oversight.

    Hello Mark.
    Maybe he could have gifted the interest back to the club?
