Does anybody know how much money we made from the Wrexham game? With attendance figures, programmes and the Bignot budget? It must be a decent amount. I personally was chuffed with that attendance (even if H block was full of hooligans)

The money from last night will just help to make up for the fall in attendances this season.

Considering it was almost a sell out there were some large empty spaces behind dug out and A & B block. In future if we cannot fill the spaces we should give WREXHAM 2000 NOT 1200

In future if we cannot fill the spaces we should give WREXHAM 2000 NOT 1200 I'm not sure they would sell that many. It took them until Monday to sell their 1,200. It does make you realise that if Wrexham or Tranmere get out of this league, our average attendance is going to take a real hit. |

Money from last night will be used to cover policing costs around the game and to make up for this seasons average as most have pointed out.
Lobster - Our attendance may not take quite the hit you think, because if we can't survive then away sides may bring more fans being a bit closer by!
I don't think it will happen, but i've been saying that for weeks and the table isn't looking any brighter, performances have, but its a results game.

I meant if one or both of Wrexham and Tranmere went up rather than if we went down. Currently, the 3,500 - 4,000 those two games attract are almost like an extra two or three games' worth of gate receipts to us. |

My fear at the moment isn't so much them going up though, it's us going down. It may kill out attendances, or winning football (possibly) may attract people again! I know the main bulk of the supporters would stay regardless, but i think as each game passes by, we look increasingly desperate to win 3/4 games on the spin to get us out of this mess. I just can't see that happening with the scrappy fixture list ahead. Guiseley over Christmas is HUGE! As are Fylde, Orient, Halifax and Solihull. We need 12 points from those 5 sides for me. |

I feel as though we are more 'in the market' for winning games now (even though we haven't won many recently!) - so may pick up the odd surprise win along the way too. |

Yes, I think the problem is that the 8 fixtures McCarthy was in charge for were the easiest run of fixtures we'll get all season. Bignot has immediately been faced with tough ones.

Maybe an idea at the next Chester trust meeting to suggest similar. |

This amount will be clearly communicated at regular intervals to the fans – with the expenditure of these funds raised to be made transparent by Chester FC at the time of their use." Strange definition of regular - its been over a month now and not one update has been made. |

Spot on there, I thought at the time that something needed to be done before the Torquay and Solihull games, so I think that will come back to haunt us come the end of the season. |

Maybe your correct. We needed a minimum of ; points from those two games and were probably lucky to get 1?
I’ve asked this before on here and shall do so again.
When are the board going to have the courtesy to apologise for the ignorance and the incompetence which lead to where we are today. To treat people with dignity and respect isn’t asking for too much surely?

I think you also have to take into consideration a lot of Wrexham fans had gone to Paris for the Wales game.

Don't get why anyone would miss their club's Derby game to watch their international team play abroad in a meaningless friendly.

The number of tickets available for general sale is calculated as follows. Note that this is a very simplified version. From the capacity as shown in the current safety certificate: Deduct the seats required for sterile zones Deduct the required percentage for unreserved seating Deduct tickets for specific purposes i.e. Sponsors, Tickets For Troops, Team of the Week, etc. etc. etc. Deduct the number of season ticket holders in each area. This gives the number of tickets available for general sale. Against Wrexham, all available tickets in the East and West Stands were sold. As noted in another thread, a number of season ticket holders did not attend. Also, some people who had bought tickets by phone or on-line did not collect them before the game. |

Just checked non league crowd averages for the season and we have dropped from 6th to 13th with a running average of 2055 helped by the Wrexham game - so we are not a million miles from break even total - but hopefully as we improve our crowds will also and it's critical we do well in FA Trophy - that could be our saving grace

I also believe that because we are in a relegation battle some of the games in 2018 are going to produce bumper gates. The game at the end of 1999/2000 against Carlisle (who were also in the shit) was over 5,500.This was for a game which would as a routine end of the season game would have drawn a crowd of around 2,000. Despite the crowd and playing against 9 men we lost that game 0-1 and ultimately were relegated to end nearly 70 years of league football.

I often wonder why we've never set up a proper reserves team - just the expense I imagine. When we reformed it would've been a good opportunity to enter a reserve team in the West Cheshire League team as Marine and Vauxhall did at the time. |

That was when we were a fighting to stay in the league. No one apart from a hardcore 1500-2000 gives a toss if we stay in this division. Crowds will stay at this level whether we survive or not. |

It was sold out. Many reasons for empty seats. - People who bought tickets for the side closest to the away end all crammed into H block and were two to a seat, meaning seats nearer the tunnel were empty. - Season ticket holders unable to go meaning their seat was left empty as the club couldn’t sell it. - Also someone has said on here you can only sell 75% of seats if they are sold as unreserved, which we do. |

It does make you realise that if Wrexham or Tranmere get out of this league, our average attendance is going to take a real hit. I think we would tbh. We took 1,500 to Tranmere. We would definitely sell 2,000 or very close to it. Remember we didn't put them to general sale until thay Monday and they were sold pretty much straight away. |
