17k - 18k (the Swindon game won't have helped TBH)

 

That is the problem I have with some of our fans. One game and they decide sod it I'm not going until they start winning. Very fickle and the result of the last game so early in the season should have no bearing whatsoever on the next but considering past seasons drop out rate after the first home game (since premeirship relegation) then difficult to see numbers above 17,000.

So if the crowd is above 17,000 will you admit that all your incessant pontificating about the fickle nature of our fans is wrong??

I think the attendance will be down on the opening game but I believe that our confidence in winning games is a still a little fragile. Last season was dire and whether you agree or not, if we don't win home gains it does affect attendance. We like to see our team win - its a no brainer and the rubbish that was served up with last year will take a while to exorcise from the mindset.

 

Fortunately we have now a new manager and a team building program which in the medium term will do us proud. Time to lower the immediate expectations but look forward to the future

I will if it's on a par with the Miilwall game but be honest some of the recent unrest voiced on this forum wouldn't fill you with confidence and how big is the Brentford faithful? As big as Millwall's?

 

ST's of 10,500 ish leaves 6,500 to find on a Saturday slap bang in the middle of the school holidays and a game against an unfashionable team. My opinions a side the portents aren't exactly good for a crowd pushing 20,000.

There's currently 11,300 ST's. HTH.

Fair play, I say. A massive increase over last season (circa 19%), which is impressive considering we are in our worst league position for over 30 years, having started on -10 points. That is without considering that we are in the worst recession since WW2.

 

This probably proves that a lot of people WERE boycotting Lowe.

We recently watched the Millwall game in a bar whilst abroad on holiday with a number of Dutch, German and other football fans, they couldn't believe they were watching an English third level game, with a crowd in excess of 20,000. When I attempted to explain our circumstances, what's gone on over the years and started on minus-10, they were further impressed with the amount of STs we'd shifted. I think this is unimaginable in most other countries at this level.

 

We may have gained a few overseas fans that day!

18303.

 

Me and my kids will be there.

 

Thanks for the warning....looking forward to your post match analysis which no doubt will be full of positivity. Try not to spoil it for those sat around you, your kids included. Smiley thing.

 

By the way, we're ****, just in case it comes as a shock to you and you want to complain to everyone about it!
