There are some interesting stats on attendances in the attached.

Most noticeable is the percentage of the ground filled. Ours is the highest at 97%. That as much as anything else to me shows how good the work is by the ticketing people to re-sell unsold blocks of away section allocation. It all makes a difference.
As for our average attendance: remarkable. I wonder what it’d be if the capacity was greater. I’ve always thought approx 33k was enough. But is it?

Premier League away allocation is a minimum of 3,000, or 10% of capacity if less than 30,000.
Means capacity for home fans reduced if we are promoted.
Should we become an established Premier League club closer to 40,000 than 35,000 ought to be the target.
Worth adding that this seasons average attendance will be the highest ever. |
The last thing we should be doing is spending money on increasing capacity. The promotion push might fizzle out, McKenna might leave & if we do get promoted, it might just be 1 season in the PL. These things take at least a year to do so by the time we had more capacity, we might be mid table in the Championship. The big money in football these days comes from PL TV contracts, not match day revenue. |  |

Think I said "should we become an established Premier League side" My point was if that happens when the 50 year old Cobbold Stand is replaced we need to be looking to dd more than just a few 1,000 to capacity. |  |
