Seat Counters - 2022/23

We never used to sell out league cup games even when the away team brought 5k. FA Cup games seemed to depend on the day and KO time. Now the day & time don’t matter.

True, we're definitely attracting more and more fans. It's a good effort for our fanbase. I do think the opposition in our cup games has helped this season though.

Remember pre covid when we had an empty stand v Fulham in the cup. Now we're selling out league Cup round 3 games. We've definitely attracted new fans over the past couple years

That Fulham game (attendance 39,223) was an outlier compared to other weekend FA Cup games over the previous 6 or 7 years. In the previous round we got 52,433 against Port Vale and 12 months before that Fulham match we played Rotherham on a Sunday afternoon and the attendance was 52,708

Yes, that Fulham game was a weird one. If I remember correctly, they brought fewer than 1k fans.

For 95% of football clubs in England, 38k home fans in a cup game (against arguably the most boring opposition in the football league) would be unbelievable, yet we beat ourselves up about it!

We don't have as large a fanbase as Liverpool or United. There's no shame in that.

It wasn't odd, we got less the next home game in the LC.

The LC game was the semi-final second leg against United - attendance was 51,000. You might be getting mixed up with the Burton Albion game the season before?

The Fulham game was a definite outlier in terms of weekend FA Cup games going all the way back to the 2012/13 season. Even with so few away fans, the attendance was on the low side

I believe that league cup game was mid-week though. If you look at our attendance at the cup games on weekends, they're usually larger than that Fulham game by at least 5k fans.

The away following has a lot to do with that though.

Thought you meant Fulham in the league cup:

4th Round - 1 November 2018 Fulham Attendance: 35,271

Semi-finals - 1st Leg 9 January 2019 Burton Albion Attendance: 32,089

The Fulham LC game was rammed for the tram too, 40 mins after full time still queues at the top, so a lot of casual fans who wouldn't want to see the same team the following season.

These days I don't go to that many matches, usual 'excuses' justifying the outlay, shift work etc..
The Burton match I went to with my (then 17yr old) daughter, think I paid about £30ish for the 2 tickets, certainly got good value in terms of' pounds per City goals' that night!
Very pleased I chose that one...shame in a way we couldn't quite get double figures!
The only time I probably got more City goals for my cash was the Huddersfield 10: (what would it have been on the Kippax in those days? £4 £5 ??)
 
I'm not just being a Sad Seat Counter, I'm currently on the website a few times daily to try to pick up returns for my lads for the sold out Newcastle and Arsenal games.

Anyway, apart from a few dozen for Leeds in April, every home match now until the end of the season is sold out.

Not West Ham.

Loads left for the Leeds and Leicester games,I don't understand you saying games are sold out.

Probably because a lot of games ‘Are’ sold out, pretty straight forward really, a lot go on resale but if we keep winning they’ll be gone, Leeds & Leicester games will both be of importance when the time comes & will sell out

There isn’t ‘loads’ left.

The most I saw in one third tier block was 23.
