    22.Grantham Town       16            821         145         4588          287



    SOUTH EAST DIVISION (top 7)  :   Attendances:  

    #Team                   Matches    Highest     Lowest     Total      Average
    1.Ilkeston Town         16          663           282       7972            498
    2.Leek Town                12          475           303       4366            364
    3.Cleethorpes Town    15          556            262       5394            360
    4.Belper Town             13          753            237       4643            357
    5.Worksop Town         16          441            279       5712            357
    6.Sheffield FC             11          416            272       3769            343
    7.Stamford                  15          513            189       4571            305


    Only the top six in the Premier Division have better average attendances than Ilkeston (ie. South Shields, FC United, Scarborough, Morpeth, Stafford and Whitby).

    FC United and South Shields are by far the best two supported teams

    The above attendance figures of most of the Premier Division teams were boosted by FC United's several hundred travelling supporters. 

    Belper had the highest attendance in the South East Division (753) against Ilkeston.

    Ilkeston's attendances of over 500 were: 663 v Belper,  602 v Cleethorpes,  598 v Stocksbridge,  595 v Worksop  568 v Leek and  552 v Stamford

    Cleethorpes highest attendance (556) was against Leek. Their second highest was 502 against Ilkeston.

    Stamford had one 500 plus gate. That was against local rivals Spalding (513).

    The NPL team watched by the biggest crowd of the season  -  5,729, was Belper at Notts County in the FA Cup.

    Re: NPL Attendance Tables

    Good work mate.

    Just think what our average would be if we were in the premier league.

    The top 7 and then this isn't counting local games v Matlock, Buxton , mickleover , Grantham and Gainsborough

    I would say a 600+ average maybe more

    Re: NPL Attendance Tables

    I was surprised to see  how low Basford United's gates are. They are lovely people there with great facilities and a fine team but still not enough people want to watch them! Why? Maybe Nottinghamshire do not rate non league football. Carlton doing well but very low gates and other clubs who looked to have great potential have just gone under or slipped down the pyramid i.e.. Eastwood, Hucknall, Arnold, Gedling Town, Oakham United, Sutton Town, Greenwood Meadows, Retford Town, Radcliffe Olympic, Rainworth MW etc. Although Ive just realised they now have the best supported non league club in the country in Notts County! Odd I wonder if its connected?

    Re: NPL Attendance Tables

    Home attendances  2019-20 season (League matches only)

                                    Matches   Highest    Lowest    Total     Average
    1.Ilkeston Town         16          663           282       7972            498



    We know there is a big difference between NMG day match attendances and night match attendances
    These are the figures for league matches last season.


    Of the 16 home league games two were night matches 
    Tue 3rd Sep   Spalding     Attendance 389
    Tue 1st Oct    Wisbech     Attendance  282


    So the average attendance for night matches was 335.

    The average attendance for 3pm kickoffs was 521

    Is there a reason why less people come to night matches?
    Is there anything we can do to improve the attendances at night matches?

    Market Drayton           110                       137                      160


    *  Ilkeston's visits to Stamford and Leek were both night matches

    At every away match, with the exception of Stamford, Ilkeston's visit produced a gate bigger than the club's average.

    Belper, Wisbech and Sutton Coldfield had their biggest home attendances against Ilkeston

    Re: NPL Attendance Tables

    Feel sorry for Basford as in their crowds attendances . The club are doing everything right as a non league club at the moment but they just don't get the crowds . The club have major plans for the future but will the people Basford support it ?

    Same applies to Carlton. Last year they finished second bottom and their average gate was 84. This year they had a great season with Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey in charge and were pushing for promotion but their average gate only went up to 113. With their results they deserved attendances at least double that. 

    According to Football Web Pages, Basford's  attendances were up by 17% from 286 to 336.  That's a good increase but still way below the majority of other teams in their league. They have an ambitious owner, a top manager and a good media team. They deserve better support.

    Re: NPL Attendance Tables

    I do feel sorry for the good people at Basford and Carlton. If Basford has been promoted this season there average gates in the National League North would have been lower than all the other teams.https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league-north/attendances 
    I do not know what more they can do to attract the fans.
    We are very lucky at Ilkeston We have a large fan base, great ground and now we seem to have secure financial backing! Basford have the last one but arguably not the first two and I do not know where Carltons money come from but it certainly not gate money.
