Gates down at Edgar Street this season
So far this season gates at Edgar Street, the home of Hereford United, have fallen when compared with last season.
To date the average attendance has been 3080, which is down by 624 per game from the last campaign. This equates to a drop of arond 17%. However the average gate last season of 3704 was exceptional and some drop was to be expected.
However the figures may not be as bad as a 17% drop suggests when each home game is compared with the same fixture last season.
Some 36956 fans have passed through the turnstiles so far compared with 40748 at this time last season. This is a drop of 3792 fans in total. With twelve home games played so far the drop is only 316, somewhat less than the 624 drop mentioned above.
