You clearly aren't a West Stand attender or watching on iPlayer then Glyn. The view from which the attendance in the east stand is drastically lower than previous seasons. I would estimate easily fewer than 50% of even last season.Of course crowds are down on previous seasons, we've been relegated! But Hound said supporters are drifting away - present tense - which means within this season.

Filling up week on week where I sit in West.
And I've seen the official attendance figures with my own eyes.
I thought one night game the gate was down to 700 and something? Not sure, but I do have a memory of a sub 1000 gate or two.BobG
Upon which income is based and corporation tax paid. Any shenanigans with the official attendance figures would be a very dangerous game. Both HMRC and those who care about stopping money laundering would be hugely interested....BobG
Seem to remember we played Barnet on a Tues afternoon to save money on the electricity. I attended because I was on a 5PM start. Glad to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Glad to be corrected if I'm wrong. I took a half day and came across from Bradford for that one. I think that there were about 1,200 there.Wasn't the Chester gate where fans boycotted or went in late 700 and something?

Not to worry.BobGIs it not the case that Bramall subsidises the club? And do we actually get to see the complete accounts? I get the impression that they don’t make any profit and that there will be losses brought forward to offset any future profits (if any are likely). So no tax would be payable would it?
The Barnet game was a 2pm kick off, I had to skip school to attend. I skipped work to attend, Harry Gresham was there with a Look North film crew
