Attendances today

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Just flicking between the games at Brighton, QPR and Bristol City. Loads of empty seats at Brighton, even more at QPR, and Bristol City looks half empty. I know our crowds aren't often a good look, but I wonder if the glut of TV football is eventually driving more fans to their armchairs ? It's Bank Holiday weekend but that doesn't normally impact on gates..

Brighton didn’t sell out v Man Utd? Swansea would

Re: Attendances today

Maybe the low crowds are down to a combination of a poor major tournament in the summer and boring football? Eight matches played so far today and just ten goals scored.

Crowds tend to be smaller on August bank holiday weekend due to many people being on their holidays

The declared attendance at Bristol City today was 21,454. At QPR it was 15,285. Bristol’s attendance was up by 700 on their first home game (a 3pm kickoff against Millwall). QPR’s was down by 1,300 on their first home game (also a 12:30 kickoff against West Brom).

Obviously many opted to watch on TV, especially at Bristol City. I think next season there will be a real impact on fans committing to ST's, when they can see their team at least 24 times live on TV. I think the announcement came late in the day to have too much an effect..

The announcement was made in the first few months of last season.
