Ticket sales as per website looking like 300 max as of Thursday evening. Of those, it would seem 30% are York fans.

5,000 fans in 3 years :lol:

Hughes has been sold another lemon
Edit
That bored watching whinos v wakey....counted the seats.
191 sold/taken in sections 109-103
106 sold/taken in sections 102-101
Loubser should be working on his CV........it's not going to get any better for him the longer this season goes on

Maybe they got it the wrong way around. Should be 3 fans in 5000 years. Of course we might get to 3 a lot quicker than that.

The question is, what will Hughes do when he realises that Monkey and Lobster outright bloody lied to him!
There was no need to move from Trailfinders. The corporate area never sold out, the bars were sufficient and the 3 stands were up to housing 2,500 if needed.
If you know you're going part time, stay there until the regular average attendance is 1,700........then look for potential new homes, or offer to build on the 4th side at Trailfinders.
To build your gates to 1,700, engage the local community............last local leaflet drop the club did was at Brentford. I may have mentioned this before, :D but Griffin Park was the only ground we left with more fans than we arrived with!
Hughes as a long history of making bad decisions and I don't hold out for anything other than complete capitulation when we play our final home game to 300 fans before dropping into L1

Not sure counting attendances is your forte, you always seem to count low!

I get your general point mind, but I'd suggest your nearly 50% short, although that is an improvement on your Portsmouth count!

There may have been a surge of sales in the last hour or so mind. I don't think all seats in 101-102 will be York fans based on previous matches. Even for Whitehaven (when the South Stand was closed) only some of the seats were away support.

Although I'm dubious of your attendance counting, I fully agree with your targeting of the Dewsbury match. Added benefit of being a Bank Holiday weekend so keep the entertainment / refreshments rolling post match. Linking it with Newcastle 12 days later would be an idea. Friday night, approaching longest day of the year. Those two matches just have to target the local community. And rather than feel sorry about the June break, the club needs to be lining up all attendees for the July/August games.

One thing that may not have been recognised about the football supporters is a large number are not local (or even close to local). It's hard to get them visit for another sport, a large number don't even go to every football match (30% of Season Ticket holders don't attend). Some pay but never use their seats. Targeting the local community is a must, but I'm not holding my breath.

Interestingly when I looked at the start of the week it looked around 400 including a handful in the South Stand. I'm not convinced though the same seats are now sold, perhaps there have been returns!

The thing about Trailfinders is, the 980-seat new stand behind the goal only went half the width of the pitch. Extend it the full width, and replicate it at the other end if necessary (there's space to do so) and you have nearly 4,000 seats. OK, it might look a little odd compared to most stadiums but it would be more than we've averaged in the past 15 years. Then use the 'grandstand' for hospitality only, and let people stand on the other touchline as they had been. You'd be around the 6,000 mark - which is something we've never averaged.

So may of us said this again and again and again - there were a dozen issues the club needed to resolve before we even looked at the stadium.

Once the stand behind the goal went in at Ealing the ground was perfectly adequate for championship rugby. I can only think we were told by super league, after 2019, that we wouldn't be let back to that level if playing there. Was the move driven by this idea of 20 "super league" teams in two divisions? That's my suspicion. As others have commented, all a bit of a joke when magic weekend can't fill a northern soccer stadium and top clubs struggle to attract 10,000.

The Broncos certainly like a Hooker! Arguably doesn't that mean three of the best players are all playing in the same position?

A two week loan technically means he plays against York only, although in practice I assume it includes Barrow.

Can't argue though that every (good) player added to the squad can only help improve the team.

I believe Broncos were told they would not be readmitted to SL at Ealing. There was a serious discussion about blocking Broncos promotion after the million pound game, on the basis of ground grading. Certain parties were vociferously arguing for this but lost the argument . I'm told it was worryingly close at points.

If we sign any more Hookers, we should open a brothel.
