Just a bit miffed when someone who only knows us through a tv series gets one over someone who’s been watching the reds through thick and thin for 30 years. I guess in a few years time things won’t be so bad. We’ll have a bigger capacity ground, the novelty factor will wear off on the fickle fans and the documentary series will end at some point and we’ll be off some people radars then.

How many are there is reality? My guess is somewhere between 20-50 international fans per game. I think social media makes it seem like there is more.
Yes there will be Liverpool, United, Everton fans who couldn't have cared less about us a few years ago. Some of those will even be season ticket holders.
But my guess is that its largely the same pool of fans who went to LDV final 18 years ago. And the Fa Trophy finals. The playoff final. When we played middlesborough in 97, Everton in 02. Aston Villa in 07. Brighton in 2012.
Those casual fans are simply attending more games. And thats how a lower league club should expand their fan base.
