You could count on Bury, Oldham, Scunthorpe, etc to bring several hundred, or even upwards of a thousands to games. Salford in a battle for automatic promotion struggled to sell 500 tickets to Stockport down the road in a 5th v 6th game.
Unbacked millionaire ego clubs are not what people want to see replacing historic generation old supported community clubs is the point being made here.

Oldham’s last home game saw an Attendance of 7,391!
Salford got An Attendance of 3,412 versus Leyton Orient!! Salford average gate (often bumped up by large numbers of visiting fans is 2,856.
Salford and a host of these tiny clubs like Harrogate Town (average attendance 2,234) really offer very little other than a novelty value.
Wrexham (average 9,960), Notts county (7,745), Chesterfield (6,857), Oldham (6,697), Southend (5,864), are mature clubs, well supported and make for a far more interesting contest.Wakefield Bantam, Old Grey Fox, MC Bantam and 2 others like this. -

I'm not a fan of re-election. I think you should be where you are on merit.
However that doesn't change the fact I hate these tinpot side like Salford who have been bankrolled to such a level and no one has joined them for the ride.
I actually like what has happened at Wrexham because the fans are embracing it.Wakefield Bantam, Tony Wilkinson, Idlebantam and 1 other person like this. -

In 2019 they played Peterborough United in the league. In 2023 they will be playing Peterborough Sports.
There are a few other former league clubs at that level. Darlington, Chester, Scarborough, Boston, Kidderminster and Hereford. Some in a new phoenix model due to going bust in the past. However Scunthorpe are the only one to have been as high as the second tier in recent history.Hulmebantam likes this. -

What difference does it make to us how good or poor Scunthorpe are -

Sad to see Scunthorpe United in such a mess. Their old ground, the Old Show Ground, was my favourite away ground back in the 70s and 80s.
