So has a corner been turned? Will the Swindon fixture attract a good gate?
Currently, the average number of County fans at home EFL games stands at 3686, but will the Swindon game attract more than the average, higher or lower than 3686?
The last two seasons, Swindon have brought 704 & 949.....with them being top, and it being a Saturday 3pm KO, will they break the 1,000 mark?
I'll go for 4194 County + 1009 Swindon = 5203 total.
If the weather's fine it could be a good turnout.
Any thoughts?.....

2Would love to see the 5,000 mark being broken, but I take a more negative view, despite our attendance's being higher than I anticipated during our recent slump.newgroundrodney wrote:So has a corner been turned? Will the Swindon fixture attract a good gate?

I'm guessing 3695 County + 1005 Swindon = 4700 total
Re: SWINDON attendance, higher or lower?.....
3Plymouth I think sold out the away end back in August with 1,039 so would expect Swindon to do likewise. If we can maintain 3,695 home fans that's a good effort in my view. 4,600 ish in total.
Can't make it myself, taking our kid to Arsenal v Sheff U. £36 per ticket (upper level, behind goals), which isn't too bad, albeit Sheff U is a low category C match. Same seat v Spurs (Cat A) would be £90 !

4On the basis that a few Swindon fans might buy in the home section I'm going for just nudging over the £5k
Re: SWINDON attendance, higher or lower?.....
5Swindon have sold their allocation as did Plymouth.
The Plymouth game was just over the 5000 attendance mark early season. Due to form in recent weeks, i'll guess 4600 - 4700. Rugby on the pitch the night before also.

6With the way the pitch is looking already, rain forecast all week and rugby Friday night I’ll be amazed if the match is on.
If is, I’d be disappointed with anything less than 5K

8Not quite so pessimistic. Drainage has undoubtedly been improved and if the forecast is correct the rain will stop Fri and be dry throughout Sat. Sure the pitch will be looking very bare in patches, however after the rugby Fri.Coxy wrote:Agree with Dos...Think it'll be off.Dos wrote:With the way the pitch is looking already, rain forecast all week and rugby Friday night I’ll be amazed if the match is on.

9Unless it’s totally trashed on Friday, if it’s dry on Saturday then the pitch should be ok. If it’s off then the only reason can be that the drainage is f*cked and I’ve seen no evidence of that though obviously it’s got a very worn surface now.

10The pitch looked the worse I’ve seen it for a long time Friday night.

12Against the current high-flying team of inbreds from Swinetown, I feel a good result would be: match postponed, game to be played on a cold Tuesday night in March'. Gives the new players a chance to bed in.
Re: SWINDON attendance, higher or lower?.....
13I understand your reasoning, but wouldn't that mean us falling further behind with our fixtures compared to others and we would have to be playing twice a week for most of the rest of the season, bearing in mind we are still involved in the EFL trophy ?DeePeeNCAFC wrote:Against the current high-flying team of inbreds from Swinetown, I feel a good result would be: match postponed, game to be played on a cold Tuesday night in March'.

Re: SWINDON attendance, higher or lower?.....
14Yes, I know. However, watching County over the last few years has been like 'feast or famine', e g. we either go on a bad run or a good run, not much in between. I feel (just a hunch) that in a few weeks time we'll go on another good run playing 3 games a week with higher confidence, plus our pitch is a great leveller so get some more rain in it and we can beat anyone.OLDCROMWELLIAN wrote:I understand your reasoning, but wouldn't that mean us falling further behind with our fixtures compared to others and we would have to be playing twice a week for most of the rest of the season, bearing in mind we are still involved in the EFL trophy ?DeePeeNCAFC wrote:Against the current high-flying team of inbreds from Swinetown, I feel a good result would be: match postponed, game to be played on a cold Tuesday night in March'.
