Somehow get the feeling that the 350 will be enough.



Some interesting attendance figures from the FA Cup second round ties this weekend.

For a National League team we are in reality on a par with many League 1 clubs.
Yet more evidence that given our resources and fanbase we really should be higher in the pyramid - surely with more paying supporters generating more food, drink, merchandise and sponsorship we should be able to take the next step up. The number of fans a club has doesn’t guarantee success but it’s got to be a significant factor, especially the lower down the leagues the club is.

In order of home gates of most clubs involved in the cup this weekend.

Lincoln City - 6,438
Plymouth Argyle - 5,984
Wrexham - 5,295
Tranmere Rovers - 4,701
Chesterfield - 4,537
Peterborough United - 3,750
Swindon Town - 3,654
Charlton Athletic - 3,249
Walsall - 3,140
Barnet - 2,826
Rochdale - 2,555
