Yes agreed, £11 is a lot more realistic than 20, with the financial climate and 3 games in a week....hopefully 4200+

Attendance will be between 3600-4000.
It might take a few more five star performances to put an extra thousand or so on the gate (like the 2001 season)
Hope I am wrong and we get 4500-5000 but I have my doubts.

This time of year and with Col U's minscule away support anything over 4,000 would be good.

Y'can zzzzzzz all you like but the U's will bring more than Newport. As I say if the crowd is less than the Port game it'll mean a substantial amount of home fans have become apathetic and walked to watch the Prem on tele instead. Anything less than 4423 thus Sat is a kick in the teeth for the players and JR after the way they've been performing..

Newport brought 320.
Col Us last two visits to the wonk they've brought 163 & 237. They've had a good start so they might make 300 tomorrow but I doubt it.

How may mates have you encouraged to come since you started this weekly bitchfest about gates? The square root of fuckall I'm guessing.

Our gates have been showing an increase over the last couple of years, but you just keep boring on.

Most of my mates couldn't care a frog's poo about the local club sadly, much like the majority of the town.

However I've gotten 3-4 to go on occasion. I've seen that double decker bus load pull up on QL on a matchday though with the sign in the window, 'Sneag's mates courtesy bus', well done bud.

I'll stop when I want to sunshine.
If the crowd Sat is below 4k then we'll discuss it further, I'm sure there'll be plenty on here ready to excuse those stopping in t'pub to watch their 'proper team'.

I think it might slightly drop compared to the Newport game, but if we keep form going I imagine the next couple of home games could be closer to the 4500 mark (home fans only)

What an arsehole coment.

Anybody who pulls one extra body a season through the turnstiles is doing more than you. I try to get a dozen or so a season, the problem is they are committed fans of other clubs, but their £ spends and you never know one day they may have an epithany.

One thing that certainly won't encourage more locals to attend is sanctemonious strawberries slagging them off for not wanting to shell out top dollar for what has been a pretty crap product for at least the last 15 years.

It's all about VFM for the average punter and what is a fair price for 4th division football to us trainspotters is outrageously expensive to 'normal' people.

The club also needs to up it's game off the pitch. There's some good offers on to make the games more affordable, but where are they advertising. Do the residents of Mansfield who like football but don't go on Stagnate on the official site even have a clue about the family tickets or the now full QLE membership. Stags always seem to be preaching to the converted.

Why are walk up matchday tickets for u18 so frigging expensive?

If the club what cashless turnstiles, then that ticket booth needs all 5 windows staffed on a matchday and each window needs a card machine with a decent wireless connection.

So much has improved at Stags in the last 6 or 7 years, but when it comes to selling the club to the town, the club still has loads of room for improvement.

It's not a just question of why don't the locals want to support the club, it's as much a case of why isn't the club making coming to games a no brainer for the town?

Amen, to that brother.
Especially the bit about the ticket booths and having the right equipment. It's embarrassing when we get a larger than average gate, at the moment.

As of midday today about 140-150 away tickets sold.
Good to see 2190+ season tickets sold though.

Forest away, county played last night, might get a few floaters coming today especially as we are looking good and scoring for fun. Still holiday season though so my prediction is 4250, with 250 away fans.

Colchester always seem to bring a good few for a Saturday game.

I think we should match the Newport attendance at around 4400.
