Record Conference crowds
John Moules, Chief Executive of the Conference has told BBC Sport that the league is celebrating record attendances as its season heads for a climax with the promotion play-offs. More people than ever watched Conferences games in the regular season, which finished last Saturday.
"We are absolutely thrilled," said Moules. "If you add the play-offs and cup matches to that, close to 1m people will have watched our football this season. It shows we are going from strength to strength. The facilities and standard of football is improving all the time.
"A lot of things have contributed, but this is still traditional English football, which is affordable, family football played at a high standard."
Hereford United's gates have averaged 3704 compared with 2038 last season.
