Attendance Thread - Fulham

There's fans refusing to go because they've taken the hump over the striker situation?

.. There's fans who would turn out to look at a new lad. A half decent signing has always increased interest. Feel free not to agree, I couldn't give a monkeys ..

exactly. i've made this point millions of times but you just get met with 'its a business at the end of the day' blah blah blah

buying a ticket for our home games is not very easy, especially for older people. the website, especially when doing it on your phone, is atrocious.

and maybe they don't want to queue for ages at the ticket office to buy a ticket, then go and queue at the turnstile. just have one or two 'pay on the gate' turnstiles and people can have a few pints before the game, walk to the ground at 2.30, pay at the turnstile and watch the match, its f***ing rocket science is it. even if it cost the club £100 per game, that is their responsibility to bear as custodians of the club


oh aye i know all that, its just the contrast between the rounds. you'd think it would have went up. unless everyone was sure we were going to lose?

we had just beaten the mags 3-0 away and had wembley coming up. 16000 in the FA cup 5th round just seems bizarre

Probably not mate, as has been covered loads of here, people just don’t bother their arses for an extra game. No idea why.

I’ve suggested if before but the club should just do an auto-enrolment scheme where your ST is automatically activated a money debited. This would obviously be a choice at the start of the season but would increase cup gates I reckon.

There is no such time as 12:00pm
Their reasoning was thus: pm stands for Latin post meridiem, usually translated in English as "after midday". As midday is meridiem — that is, midday, the mid-point around which the other times are ordered — it cannot be said to be post itself. Therefore, 12:00pm is not a real time.
Nor is 12am.
Noon , midnight, 0000, 1200 all acceptable.

The convention for 12 p.m. meaning noon was established, I believe, in USA. I don't like it. As you say, it's noon and midnight.

Season card holders are a massive issue. Think 16k took up their seat in the first 24hrs of Fulham being on sale. That leaves another 16k who just didn't bother their arses. Granted some changed seats for this, but will be nowhere near 16k. Some have valid excuses, but again nowhere near 16k.

Being on council tele isn't an excuse. It's canny bad because the ones who haven't bothered for this will certainly be using their season card to get to Wembley if we ever got there in the competition.

Mentality for cup games is a bit fucked up.


Aye let's not support the team because we didn't sign a striker.

Im my case, I have commitments in Bristol on Thursday that i couldn't have got back to in time. If the match had been today, I could have done it. With a longer notice period, I might have been able to do tomorrow, but there it is. I can do the Sheff Utd game next month, because there's time to organise things. If we win tomorrow, I'll be at the Leeds game.

Like I said, there will be a large portion with very valid reasons. But it is what it is, I know you're at pretty much every match and Bristol is a hell of a trek.

Not if they don't have any points from attending cup games (or certainly not as a priority, anyway)

Missed a lot recently - between train strikes, engineering works, and a succession of respiratory viruses, life has decidedly got in the way for about three months. Hopefully, normal service resumes at QPR next Tuesday.

I reckon we will just nudge over 30k which is a great turnout for a midweek replay at short notice and the away team only bringing 500. Will be the biggest gate of all the replays by a comfortable distance

Sadly the only thing people (media) will mention is empty seats.

I remember we had Leeds in the cup, PVA 1-0. That attendance was 30k and they brought probs 5k. I think people actually need to realise, on average our attendances are increasing, even for mid week games in low rounds of the cup

This is a good point and it's continually being missed. If we break 30k against a team with a small away following, live on free tv, on a Wednesday night, with 10 days notice, that is brilliant.

Think back to sitting with only the East Stand open as we lost to Sheffield Wednesday or Walsall or Mansfield. Miserable by comparison.
