Even in the old second division we would struggle to get 4500 when the likes of Newcastle were getting 20 k gates , in the same division
Our support just hasn't matched the big clubs historically
When we went up with Pompey in 1983 they got bigger gates
And clubs like Bradford are getting better gates now in division 4 than we were even in 2003 , riding on the crest of a wave with the team safe in a league higher
