Re: V Swindon Town FA Cup 2nd rd Guess The Gate
 

Hi ossy kid, it's most likely the core of the season ticket holders who are reluctant to pay "extra" for FA Cup games. Especially for "non-glamour" ties. It obviously affected support for both sides......Swindon Town fans, having travelled to see their team against Accy 2 weeks ago, almost 700, only brought 250 to 300 yesterday. Time of year impacts as well, run up to Christmas and of course financial gloom.......Labour's rubbish budget and older fans losing out on Winter Fuel Allowance.........many small negatives do affect attendances.....BUT what a fantastic afternoon we all had who saw the "roller coaster" that is Stanley ALL IN ONE GAME........I left the ground enthralled, delighted, amazed and overjoyed at "WHAT MAKES SUPPORTING STANLEY GREAT".

THANK YOU JOHN, GED, PLAYERS ....AND ALL THE STAFF INCLUDING ANDY HOLT.

Season Tickets are counted at every game - there or not.

Therefore, if there are 900 Season Tickets sold, none of which turn up and 1 paying on the gate, the crowd will be........... 901 :)

This is one of many contributing factors, CG has named a few others also :)
