Not really , were in the conference North and one of the best supported teams, I remember when were in the league at sealand road and getting about a thousand. We all do our best, some do more,some so nothing it's just the way it is. Just enjoy it,

We had 2,000 for Alty on a Tuesday night recently you know? People will pick and choose their games at this level regardless of how we're playing IMO.
£15 to watch us play the likes of Kettering Town and Farsley Celtic just doesn't provide any value to a floating fan, even if we're winning 4-0. They want us to be playing proper teams. Hereford being one and I'm confident we can break 3,000 with a strong 3 figure away following.

Read that Hereford may bring around 800 fans on Monday. Frankly, if the overall crowd isn't approaching something like 3,000 with an away following like that we'll look pretty tinpot.

How can we look tinpot ? If you go to the games and see what all the volunteers are doing and we get decent crowds then tbh your talking shit. Mate, you live in a different world, what do you expect? With sky and other things going on we just need to make samll steps forward , but tinpot were not!

People more arsed about watching Liverpool on tv you go out in Chester and people don’t even know we have a team

But yeah I disagree, crowds of 1,600 aren't decent for a fan owned club reliant on gate income. I think we'll have 2,000 in the home end on Monday and, for me, that's the very least it should be. As daft as that sounds to some.

Mate, you live in a different world, what do you expect? With sky and other things going on we just need to make small steps forward, but tinpot we're not! If you think 1,600 is a decent crowd for us you’re seriously deluded. Only three teams in the league above beat that attendance, so while I agree we should be getting more, we're not doing too badly!

No premier league on Monday makes a big difference, already know a few coming who wouldn’t always come.
Should be getting a gate between 2800-3000. The club need to get the message out there and captilisise on the good start to the season.

Not saying great but not bad either, the performance on the pitch will ultimately influence that. Just need to be realistic and a bit on the optimistic side instead of negative, nothing wrong with that

Under the circumstances the club is trying its best. The McCarthy era through to the flood has been a catastrophe. The new Phoenix club started nine years ago with great efforts by a small band of committed people, and the amazing success was seen in a positive light by many in the city. Unfortunately the past three or four years have been depressing, including relegation and failure to gain promotion, and the people of the city are clearly tinpot in their attitude to supporting their local team. The failure to check for blockages to drainage on a flat roof didn’t show the club in a good light either. Basic maintenance. I think it will take a successful cup run, including being drawn against a big team, to get the significant interest back. Money talks, and money is missing from a fan owned model in Chester. There was a buzz for a while when Stuart Murphy’s intended investment was announced. What news of that to the average floating fan?

Make sure you drag your arse down there and do your best to take someone else with you. That’s the only way we’re improving gates. Do your bit and then it’s up to the players on the pitch to put on a show that makes your mate want to come back.
This is incumbent on US ALL to do, no excuses. Do your duty to your club.
Up the Seals.

It was 2 years ago we’re in a much much better place under much better managers who will take us places. It’s about time people forget McCarthy etc and focus on the present and future

It’s about time people forget McCarthy etc and focus on the present and future I offered McCarthy as a reason, not an excuse. McCarthy happened, the flood fiasco happened, relegation happened, and people have walked away. All facts. From a point of attracting people back, or attracting new fans, I find it ridiculous that you see being in a lower division as being in a better place. Just not true.

We’re in a better place now then where we were that season though ? We’ve stabilised the club and we can only go forward from here onwards
