2) half the Berlin Wall was closed
5) 3500 still not bad considering the crowds 4 seasons ago, still doubled.

Things like mortgage , food and bills are far more important

I don't think it's anything to do with that.
I just think it is becoming more difficult to get into a football match. No tickets were on sale for the Wrexham game after Friday afternoon. Some people may have made a late decision on Saturday to attend but couldn't. I am umming and ahhing about going to Salford next Sunday but can you turn up at the Salford ground and pay at the turnstile ? I don't know so unlikely to go.

Not for everyone but if you can scrape the money together then simply buy a season ticket. What does it work out at for an adult on the terracing. 7/8 quid a game? Amazing value for the entertainment and drama provided throughout the 9 months of the season.
kids for next to nothing. The club are doing their best to make it affordable.

We played them a few weeks ago and you could buy a ticket on the day at their ticket office which is just up from the turnstiles.

Somewhat disappointed with the the attendance of 5100 which with 1600 from Wales leaves only 3500 home fans. I expected more and thought I read somewhere that is was near full capacity.

That is about 500 more away supporters than we can accommodate. An extra 500 at an average of £20 = £10,000 , take out the V.A.T. and we miss out on around £8,333 on games this season with Bradford , Wrexham , Barrow , Stockport to name 4. Last season in the EFL1 there would have been quite a few who would have brought more fans than we can accommodate. In addition to the lost gate money the food and drink sales would also be higher.
I thought there had been a planning application to remove the rear wall so that the away stand capacity can be increased. I wonder what happened to that.

Going on your maths those 4 teams selling an additional 500 would only bring in £33,000 extra. I expect expanding the stand would cost a lot more so probably isn't really worth it unless we can get back into league one and rely on a few big away followings.
