    Some monstrous crowds this weekend:

    Notts county-16k
    Wrexham-10k
    Chesterfield-7k

    Staggering for the 5th tier of football.

    Some clubs in the 8th and 9th tier regularly get close to or over 1,000. Good to see.

    Hearing that Emley- whom play at the same level as Winterton- will have over 1,000 at their next home game, they are offering free entry for Huddersfield season ticket holders.

    County’s average attendances in the old Football League Division One (top tier) back in the 80’s were:

    1984 – 9,463
    1983 – 10,266
    1982 – 11,613

    Well done those County fans

    It’s interesting how so many clubs seem to rejuvenate their fan bases in the non-league.

    Notts County, Chesterfield, Wrexham, Lincoln, Stockport, York are all achieving some impressive crowds after years down here. Even a reformed Macclesfield are pulling in 3k crowds which is something they would’ve scarcely imagined, even back in their league days.

    Notts did football for a fiver on Saturday, works for them but wouldn’t for us.

    Under a new owner, proper marketing and a team that doesn’t take 10 games to win a game, then there’s no reason we couldn’t get 6/7k in once a year.

    New owners and an exciting new era would initially (without doubt) bring regular attendances between 3,500 – 4,000 (without giving tickets away)
    and I would expect plenty of matches 5,000+ Fans if the new owners backed the team with some new exciting players and we went on a real run towards the play offs
