Unsure as to whether or not this is a new feature on FWP but it appears as though it now ranks stadium attendances by percentage along with the traditional way. For some reason, we are listed as N/A, but after working it out, an average of 853 in a stadium of (what I believe is) 6,500 comes out as 13.12%. This is one of the issues with a big stadium is that we can't fill it at this level. It is getting better, of course, which is brilliant to see.

It was getting better then they stop turning up because we didn't win every game. 1800 nearly 1900 at the Yeovil game of which it must have been 1200-1300 "Boro fans" and then only 600 are at Welling. Pathetic. Bunch of glory hunters.
If the club is going to grow and maybe get promotion in the next few years then fans have got to keep showing up and not only when it's not Champions League on the telly.

I think you have that the wrong way round. Yeovil brought easily the biggest portion of the 1800, and yes the 680 v Welling was poor by comparison, but on the whole our attendances are growing, and I can still remember the times when we were getting 250/300!! Always room for more, but we are doing ok!!
By contrast, tonight at Worthing they attracted around 700, when they have been gettin 1200+.
Swings and roundabouts!

This is one of the issues with a big stadium is that we can't fill it at this level. I know figures of 6,500, 7,000, etc get bandied about whenever there is discussion about the size of our ground, but the real limit, set by the relevant authorities, not the club, is far lower. The authorities will look more closely at the safety aspects than the size of the stands e.g. are there sufficient exits if a ground evacuation is required? The official record attendance for the ground in its current configuration is 4,267, although *cough* that number needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as it was not an all-ticket game - huge numbers turned up in the last few minutes before kick-off and it was decided to cram them in rather than run the risk of a riot. So, let's say just over 5,000? There are approx. 2,300 seats, the Moor Road End has been passed for 1,500 (possibly 1,750?) and the terraced half of the John O'Hara Stand is good for 800 or thereabouts. That leaves the flat standing by the home turnstiles, maybe another 100 or so? That totals to 4,700 or 4,950, which smells about right.
