Truro's attendances


Recommended Posts

Guest Gloworm

Attendance for Truro V Frome was 321

Attendance for Truro V Hallen was 387

I have heard stories that sometimes the club add a few more on to the attendance to make it look more impressive, although I've never believed a word of it.

On the day of the Frome game, the second highest crowd in the Western league was 157 for Bideford V Bitton, and the second highest Western League crowd on the day of the Hallen game was 138 for Ilfracombe V Frome. A clear difference between the crowds on both weekends. Congratulations to Truro for having the highest average attendance in the Western League this season.

I hope they can keep these attendances up next season in the Southern League.

I would certainly expect the gates to go up next season. Whether or not this would be at the expense of other Cornish clubs remains to be seen. It will be interesting to see how the attendances of the Peninsular League clubs in West Cornwall hold up compared to this season. I will certainly be watching Truro in the Southern League. I don't seem to have any other calls on my Saturday afternoons any more! How well Truro's gates increase will depend on how they do. If they scrape along at the bottom of the table they'll get fewer in than this season! However, if they make the right signings and push for yet another promotion, crowds should regularly exceed 500.

I copied this from the Tony Kempster web site. This is how the Southern Division One West finished this season. Are there any games that would take your fancy?

Nope, I'm well wrong. Godalming Town charged £7 per head for the season just gone. I was going ny my nearest club, Horsham. They charged £8 for a Ryman's Premier League game. Horsham averaged around 500 per home game, not bad at all but their cup rn must have helped. Horsham is maybe about twice the size of Truro; population wise.

I think thats a little steep but whats a tenner for an afternoon out. Paulton Rovers is a nice club with a very tidy ground plus you can make plenty of noise there. Been there with St Blazey and a ground id go to anytime.
