Attendances....

Yes great point !

Its fair to say we can claim to be the London non-league team with the largest following (in terms of home attendance)

That is some hell of an achievement !

Dagenham & Redbridge are coming out of the Football League with an average home crowd of 1,993 this season - will be interesting to see where they go and we go next season in terms of crowds.
 
Not surprisingly we are also top of the 'away average attendance' league given the numbers who support us on the road:

Ryman League Premier Division | Attendances

The average home attendance for all clubs so far this season is 310. So, on average, we boost crowds when we play away by 88, which seems about right (with a few notable exceptions - Tonbridge and Bognor for eg):

RYMAN LEAGUE PREMIER 01 Average - Lowest - Highest Attendances

We have helped provide the highest home attendance for five clubs but we are there or thereabouts for each team's highest home attendance all the time:

RYMAN LEAGUE PREMIER Attendance Grid
 
As stated most teams with large attendances are ex League clubs and we were only 43 off Bromley (those winter rearranged games probably cost us)

Anyway next season we have a very real chance of ending up as London's No 1 non-league supported team
We already are. I don't acknowledge Bromley as a London club, they're a Kent club.

We're the eleventh biggest club in London after (in no particular order) Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Charlton, QPR, Millwall, Leyton Orient.

On a specific point, one of the most common things I hear, which is so easily fixed, is "Why don't they change the hinges on the door?" [at the top of the steps leading up to the clubhouse]. Is such a small thing, which would make such a big difference, really that difficult?
I've been moaning about that since 1992!

I will never forget you walking into the chemist I was working in, with a daft grin on your face enjoying refusing to tell me who we had drawn for about 10 minutes or so ...
He bloody phoned me up and told me we'd drawn Basingstoke away. (Roughly equivalent to drawing Grays away nowadays, but three times as far to travel.)
 
And here are this season's numbers in a lovely pink and blue graph:

2013/14
x1 attendance over 1,000 - 1,388

2014/15
x10 attendances over 1,000 but below 1,500
x1 attendance over 2,500 - 2,856
x1 attendance over 3,000

2015/16
x6 attendances over 1,000 but below 1,500
x6 attendances over 1,500 but below 2,000
x2 attendances over 2,000 but below 2,500
Note: x1 attendance 999

Only on one occasion this season (if we discount 999 against Grays 2nd game of the season) did we get an attendance of below 1,000 on a Saturday and that was the first game of the season against Canvey Island

Is that your own work? I'd like to maybe do a Buzz feature if I get time....

Yeah, I've got a lot of data for this season (appearances/goals/assists/etc). I hope to analyse it and make some more graphics when I get some free time before the season is over. So hopefully I've got another couple of weeks.

[/QUOTE)
When in 2014/15 did we get an attendance over 3000?
 
I was using category of 500s
ie 2,500 to 2,999

anyway if you prefer I would write 3,000 or more
or 3,000 to 3,499
