Comment | Saturday's Attendance Was Poor
at 09:56:25
Nick, yes some people would say that we had the best gate of the round, and I am one of them. Best comparisons, Sheffield Wednesday & Charlton. Many would argue that Wednesday are a bigger club. As their club is in dire straights, you might say that their fans should be rallying round!
If you want a true comparison, you have to look back to a time of austerity before Saints were in the top two flights, which takes you back to a time before TV and the multitude of other distractions. But if you look back to those days, how many fans traveled from outside the immediate geographic area, like I and countless others do week in week out? It's not the £2 extra, or the cold. It's the prospect of a 130 mile round-trip, when maybe, just maybe, I have something else to do or spend my money on?
You really can't compare our gates with the past, it's not a level playing field, but you can compare it with the gates achieved by all the other clubs in the same competition. We had the biggest gate on Saturday, end of.
