    Re: Attendances

    .

    Average attendances for the whole league are down by 11 .97 %

    Teams suffering most with the percentage falls in attendances are ;

    Ilkeston              37.5%
    Mickleover         31.2%
    Redditch            28.5%
    Bromsgrove       19.0%
    Hitchin               18.5%
    Rushden            17.2%


    If we exclude the two free admission games last season,  then Ilkeston's average attendance last season was 911. Compare that with this season's average gate so far of 624 and we have a decrease in attendances of 287 per game. In percentage terms, NMG attendances excluding the free admission games are down by 31.5%

    Attending football matches is now becoming a luxury which a lot of fans are having to cut back on. 
    So why don't we print vouchers to attend matches at the NMG after Christmas for people to buy as Christmas presents. I'm sure football supporters would prefer a match ticket to something they don't really want.  They could be for one or more matches.
