According to the BBC (again, I know) it's 828.

Re: Attendance
I think this says more about the actual competition than the club itself.
Tuesday Night game, Minimum away support, Season Ticket holders have to pay...
Kind of expected.

Re: Attendance
Agreed, Shrews - I thought a sub-1000 crowd would be likely tonight.
I'm not there, the old fella isn't there and neither is Rolsten, so that's us three (season ticket holders to a man) who have decided that there are other things to be done tonight and to keep the tenner in our pockets.
Something in that because I went to all of the JPT games last season, and for the majority of seasons before that (LDV, etc, etc)...

Re: Attendance
it'll be those £2.50 pies, i was warned this would happen!
Re: Attendance
828? Jesus.
Re: Attendance
I never made it tonight, i didn't finish work until 7pm but didn't feel motivated enough to go. I did expect a sub 1k crowd, it was expected with the attendances we've had so far this season.
I could've easily eaten a Chicken Balti pie, only problem was that it took half an hour to cool down!

Re: Attendance
It really, really isn't a big deal. It's the JPT, a competition that no-one cares about, and that suffers from awful attendances up and down the country.
Re: Attendance
its a bonus fixture so i suppose as long as what we made on the gate covers the expenditure for floodlights, and staffing its all a bonus, if it didnt, well thats when we've really got to start worrying. losing money by actually staging a fixture no matter what competition is in is bad news!!

Re: Attendance
It might not get good attendances up and down the country but we had an opportunity to tell everyone just how cheap tickets were tonight and encourage more to come along.
828?
I can't even remember when we had a crowd that poor.
Whoever went must have been freezing their nuts off.

Re: Attendance
I don't think it's just the competition. I haven't missed a home match of any kind, including JPT games, for years but I didn't bother tonight. The thought of sitting in a vast empty ground with fewer than one thousand people in the one stand that was open was too much. Unfortunately I think my feelings have been felt by others. There are some bad signs for the club and its future in the White Elephant.

Our league attendances are awful, you won't get any argument from me. But a shite attendance in the JPT means nothing, just like the competition itself. I'm a season ticket holder but I didn't even entertain the notion of going tonight, because I couldn't care less about the competition we're playing in.
Re: Attendance
I didnt bother going tonight, I generally dont with the JPT these days but obviously I'm delighted we've won, but I wish everyone would stop making out our attendance issues "were to be expected" and aren't a big deal. Since last season, we've lost over 1'000 fans! Our regular Saturday crowd is less than we usually get for a JPT game, and our JPT crowd is like that of a Conference North side. We've went from averaging just under 3'000 to averaging comfortably under 2'000.
Re: Attendance
And I would think Raj is completely alarmed by it. How anyone can keep a club ticking over like this is beyond me. And we know that the attendances in the Arena tend not to rise even after good results. We've lost quite a number of fans from what were already pisspoor gates.
Re: Attendance
Well that's a great way to support the club, no wonder you are struggling. I'd be worried because people don't seem to care. As has been stated I wonder if Mr Singh is simply brushing off quite how many people have stopped watching Darlo, I doubt it.Santino wrote:Cute.PJPoolie wrote:Bury that head!!Santino wrote:It really, really isn't a big deal.

Re: Attendance
Its says on the Echo's website that it was the third lowest attendance in the club's history. Puts it into perspective.
But its no good whittering or worrying about it. Just got to make sure we all get to the game against Bournemouth and hopefully get some momentum going
So pleased for Darlo players and Todd tonight. Lets build on this and when we next have another defeat lets not act like its the end of the world.

Re: Attendance
i went tonight, and have to admit it was a good performance - the crowd was worrying, unless things change i can see us being in the s*** again - i didnt fancy going to be honest, but now im glad i made the effort if only a few more had got off their arses!
Re: Attendance
Only 882. But at least we must have made a bit of money on our premium-rate pies and plastic bottled lager as there was still a huge queue throughout half-time

Re: Attendance
The competition is a complete waste of time and effort - except for the two teams who eventually make the final. Apart from the Wembley trip, no-one wants it - obviously not the fans, and you can be sure not many managers either. At least we won tonight - so it will bring some confidence back, but no-one should read anything into the attendance of what is a Mickey Mouse event. The Football League would be better off getting fans to play the earlier rounds, or do it virtually on a computer game... it might generate more interest.
The nonsense is that there was no league match on Bank Holiday Monday - which would surely have generated a bigger crowd.
The FL needs to give it a serious rethink.

Re: Attendance
There were about 60 from Lincoln.
I am getting really pissed off with the so called fans who can't get up of their arses to go to matches - and then criticise the size of the crowd, price of pies, cost of a pint etc.
For fucks sake, make up your mind whether you support this Club or not. !!
If you do, the come to the games, buy beer in the bar both before and after games, buy programmes, buy a pie at hafltime.
Cheer and applaud the team throughout the game !!!!
If you don't do all of these - then fuck off and do not post your crap on our messageboard.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

While I appreciate the sentiment behind your rant DC, I don't buy a programme OR any beer, and I'm not going anywhere

However, I am now sick of "so called" fans that come on this Board and just criticise - either the Club, the Players, the Management, or Raj - and don't even go to games.
We are extremely lucky to still have a Club.
Colin Todd has done well to assemble the squad that we have, which understanderably have taken some time to gell.
Tonight we have got our first win, which I am glad to say i was there to see - It's a pity that many that have criticised the Club over the last few weeks couldn't be bothered to do.
If you don't turn up - shut up - simple.

Biggest load of s*** I've ever read in my life. I cant afford to spend over £50 every home game to do all of the things that you insist mean I'm not a fan, I've missed a hand full of home league games in the last 13 years...but I missed tonight JPT match, proper part timer me like!

Re: Attendance
Coddy - I'm not a name person - DP knows all the people on the Board - he told me before the game he knew over 100 on here, so he's the person to ask about who's missing.
There were about 800 of us tonight, who cheered the lads to a great 1st win. After seeing all the negative s*** on this Board in the last few weeks, it was great to see a win tonight.

You know that I don't include people like you in my description of "fans" - I know that you do come to just about every game. But surely even you must recognise that there are people that regularly post doom and gloom messages on here that don't even go to the games.
