Not a chance ! As you said you know it's Tuesday evening and that makes all the difference Meaning the attendance will be between 10%-20% below that of a similar Saturday fixture That's just how it is, If we get 2000-2400, that will be pretty good
Nonsense, wasn't our last home game v Sutton a midweek game? Wasn't it a full house? The crowd was 3,030. According to Nick the crowd on a Saturday would have thus been between 3,367 and 3788. His prediction identifies that he believes it to be better if you are challenging at the top of Conference South rather than fighting at the bottom of Conference National. On a crowd numbers basis, Nick wants us relegated unless he likes smaller crowds. On that basis he wants us playing back at the Morman church in front of 30-50 people. I thought he was meant to be so progressive as well.

We will get 2401 I will be the 1 Your attendance will reduce crowd by another 10-20% But I won't let it put me off

Are there any town enders planning on moving to the new stand?

I will go back to standing in the Elvis Stand for the first half, then moving to the Town End for the second. Unless the view is very spectacular and tempts me to stay.
Much as I would hate to segregate Sutton, if they bring a few it might be good to separate them out and create a bit of atmosphere. As well as being good practise for livelier opposing fans.

I merely drew inferences from the FACTS as they presented themselves. The conclusion about relegation was based on inferences from facts. It also had a qualifying aspect to it which you have decided to edit out, possibly because you seek to argue.

To bump up the attendance, maybe the club will do some external publicity to announce the opening of the new stand, there's a piece on the OS tonight, though I doubt it'll be news to many reading it on there. Perhaps a feature article in the KM on the preceding Friday, they'll be no match reports after all, maybe something on radio Kent as well. Pretty sure Ian Tuckers already all over it

My brother is coming for his second Maidstone game, last one was 40 years ago, anyone else beat that? A percentage of our crowd got to 20 years between games, eclipse, but not 40.
Another, very small, percentage made it a little more than that between games Adrian. I travelled to see 2 games when the stadium first opened which were the first live games since 1964! Hoping to get to the Easter Monday game to make the gap a little shorter this time !
On another note if anyone collects programmes I have a spare one from the Barrow away game earlier this season that they are welcome to. COYS.

The game has got no chance of selling out. But there does seem a fair bit of interest in the new stand opening so I think think the crowd will be a very healthy one..
