Attendances....

to be honest...I couldn't give a fuck bout where we are, compared to other clubs in attendances. I'm just enjoying the crowds we currently get. It's not a bloody willy waving contest!
I'm quite interested in waving my, er, I mean, seeing what other attendances are like cos (a) it gives a sense of how much of a hopeless suicide mission the season after a promotion would be (not at all at the moment!), and (b) I'm interested in the wider health of the divisions around us. I'm perfectly capable of indulging myself behind the goal* but it's slightly less fun when you feel like you're playing a team with no fans.

* = Am I writing a Carry On script?
 
1,162 Dulwich Hamlet v Canvey Island

571 last season
As with last week it felt like more. I think that's the fullest I've ever seen the Dogging Paradise Hedgehog Mass Murder End in the first half. Was there another cash-on-the-opened-gate queue-buster?
 
While I'm confined to the main stand I get a different perspective on the match and the crowd... and it was definitely a lot quieter yesterday than last Saturday. Loads of empty seats for the second half.
 
The crowd was fairly accurate yesterday. Last week should have been higher, 'off the record', but Griff wasn't there to tally, so it was slightly lower. But not able to rectify after it had been sent in to the league, I think.

Crowd was accurate as The Griff was back in the saddle and I jumped on the next turnstile. The hoards still love to turn up near kick off.
 
canvey had around 20 fans
There were twenty behind the goal in the second half, which mens there were probably at least the same number again along the sides and in the stand. You need to remember away fans don't all wear colurs and stand behind the goal. Quite a lot of people in the stand jumped up and cheered when they took the lead.
 
Would be interesting to know what the average attendance has been for Saturday matches only, as obviously it's quite a bit lower for the midweek matches so they'll be dragging down the average.

I guess it also means there's a big financial incentive these days for the club to make sure Saturday games don't get postponed, as there'll be such a big difference between Saturday and Tuesday/Wednesday income.

ForwardHamlet have been keeping a loose eye on Sat home attendances and the Met Police game was the 5th in a row that has been over 1,000.

The Saturday average is 1147, boosted of course by the Hampton and Richmond gate, nevertheless an amazing figure
