Thanks Ian. That must mean that Whitworths average gate is higher than Cogenhoes also!

Whitworth's home gate against Wellingborough Town last season was 1150 so this has massively boosted their season's average.

I think Judge John meant this season Jonmac saying that both Wellingborough clubs have experienced a massive percentage drop in attendances, where have the good people of Wellingborough gone

Problem is in this league lots of clubs don't keep very good records of their attendance. How many times do you see an attendance of say 80 or 60, is someone just taking a guess? I don't think many clubs to a specific head count, more likely someone will look around and count in blocks of roughly ten heads. I wonder how many overstate the figure to big themselves up, or how many understate it in anticipation of future tax inspections? I count in ones (although that sounds like I'm stating the obvious), so it's not 100% accurate, but will never be more than a handful off the true figure (people in the toilets not being counted due to being out of view, for example). I personally don't consciously inflate or deflate numbers.

Perhaps someone has asked the FA to make turnstiles compulsory so that the true attendance figures can be ascertained. I wish they would stand still when I try to count them, spectators that is !

Correct mr Hughes I was counting this season. To be fair the game last season was a lifetime one-off and should have been discounted from the figures. Our perception is that our attendances are up, if only because we have so few we know them all personally and we know we have a handful more, some who used to go across the fence last season.
