gazza77 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 There seems to have been a step change in crowds so far this season, based on home support which is pleasing to see. For years, it felt like 2-2.5k was our maximum and we're well above that level so far. It's good to see. 1 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

There was never 3700 there was there? Fax hardly took anyone and even when we changed ends at half time the amount of people on the terracing was pretty sparse. Ive been there when there has been a hell of a lot more people there with smaller crowd figures given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingaro Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Because we have always deflated to actual attendance in the past. 4.5k v. Leigh and Tolouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as sparse as it was the week before at that ground you rent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbaldnmad Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I thought that 3700 seemed about right. I reckon that there was possibly 100/150 max from Fax, and the family stand did seem busy without being full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said c.150 in the railway end stand first half, which I assume was pretty much just fax fans. No idea whether there was any others elsewhere in the ground. The crowds at Fev this year are definitely higher this season than at any point in the last 15 years of me being a regular. How accurately they're recorded I couldn't say, but it's clear there are more bodies in the ground each week than in the recent past. Hopefully that trend continues for the rest of the season and beyond. 3 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

The Phantom Horseman Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Am I right in thinking we automatically count every season ticket sold as part of the attendance? The club reported having sold a record number (over 1,500 I think) so that would be a pretty high starting position for each home gate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax isn't on attendance, it's on income. How many people were there is neither here nor there for tax purposes, it's what they pay that counts. 5 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

Fax took around 800/900 to Batley on the opening day of the season. Ask yourself why we take so few to POR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are that bad as fans we had more fans at Fax then your, did your club turn us away ? NO ! That's how bad we are. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, it's not how bad we are, it's how bad our reputation is. It takes one stupid incident to gain a bad reputation and years of exemplary behaviour to get rid of it. So far this season, we seem to be keeping any bother at bay, which is brilliant, but as a club we've been let down over recent seasons and I can understand entirely why Fax fans in particular are reluctant to make the trip to POR. For what it's worth, I think they're wrong and as a club we seem to be sorting our problems out, but denying we have them won't help. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha we decided to change ends, which is partly why I questioned the numbers above. Normally we would just stay in that stand but when we got round to the terracing Ive seen it a lot fuller than it were. It probably had a lot to do with the lack of Fax fans the feel to it as it were a really poor turnout as it were the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a common misconception that clubs are taxed on the crowd figures announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
