Ashton have never been a big draw and time of year (chrimbo shoppin' etc)not to suprised at the attendance. They are down on last year but we were letting kids in for nowt. It think from the start of the season numbers have slowly been improving or have I got me rose tinted glasses on.
So that makes 1529 paying public. Would like to see some of the freebees paying at Watnall Road on Christmas Sunday me old quiz mate. The Borrowers.Mmmmmmmm. lol
Glad to see some common sense coming in to play with the replies now.
You've got to look at things from Danny's point of view also, bigger club (historically), better league, probably better deal. If we were in his position what would we do?
Attendances are generally starting to increase now that our form is improving, with only the odd games lowering the average like the Gainsborough Carthium Cup and Radcliffe in the Trophy. Ashton was never gonna be a massive gate with it being so near Christmas and a relatively unexciting fixture on top of all teh controversy that came out Friday.
Out of the games left at home we have Alfreton, Worksop, Southport, Droylsden, Barrow, Nuneaton and Kettering. so 7 out of the final 12 home matches of the season are against teams that will draw a good crowd in.
