Had attendances not been restricted for several games this season, it is clear that our average would have been higher.
This combined with the terrible mid season slump in form.
A strong start maintained through the season should see us averaging 2500 plus, and every prospect of the crowd v Oldham and perhaps Wrexham if they stau down, beating the 3900 that the attendance for Stockport was capped at, and in turn becoming our new highest home league attendance since the 1960s.
On the issue of free tickets for schools the strong evidence is that the kids are coming back, with parents, when they have to pay, having caught the bug, just as so many of us did with free schools tickets back in the day.
The free tickets represent an investment in both the short and the long term future of the club, and add to the buzz and sense of excitement and fun at Moss Lane that is the best it has been for many, many years.
