14,572 07:20 - Oct 5 with 6578 views | Whiterockin | Last nights attendance, make all the excuses you like but this is poor. Take into consideration that this is tickets sold, so the actual attendance was far less .Plymouth we have sold out again for an away match, but don't seem able to get the gates at home. It's not the middle of winter, Norwich were a top six club at the time of kick off, we didn't have two home games in a week, it's not the holiday season, we won our previous two matches, so what is the reason and what do the club need to do about it. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

You ask what the club need to do about it, just carry on winning, people will come back, school nights are never brilliant and respect to the couple of hundred Norwich fans but a full away end not only adds 2,000 to the gate, it encourages home fans to come out too. Keep winning Swans and we'll have the sold out signs up soon. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't believe this is the case, the cub needs to do something to bring in the casual fan, many in Swansea did not realise we were playing last night. Our season ticket sales must be way down for our tickets sold last night to be so low. That's our core support numbers, so people have to physically buy a ticket for each game to attend. We have a couple of games coming up which should be close to a sell out, Leicester and Sunderland but Watford and Hull will be way short. We have to shift a load of match day tickets now which we are not doing so marketing needs to improve. They could start by reintroducing the "next match" on the board above the ticket office for a start. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

14,572 on 09:24 - Oct 5 with 4266 views | Just_Dave | I got into the ground about 5 minutes before kick off and I thought I'd got the time wrong there were so many empty seats. The club do need to try and make it a bit more attractive to the casual fan and families too. Maybe more reasonable prices at the food and drink outlets and start accepting cash again may help. Also is there a need to search everyone going on the East? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

It was certainly more passionate at the end and I wish we could extend Lowes loan. He’s right up for it. Biggest difference is Ashworth. He will have a big future and is the keeper we should have had post Fabianski instead of the weak indecisive ones we’ve had to endure . | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Doesn’t change anything Rog. You have posted thus for 15 years It was a disappointing attendance and you must accept that simple fact The club and team deserve better Duff has been working his arse off to improve and just because he is not exactly media friendly he gets crap . For a region of 300,000 + it’s poor. Norwich is half the size of Swansea but attracts thousands country wide . Fact | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

14,572 on 10:57 - Oct 5 with 4077 views | EagleEye | Big away followings up until yesterday has hidden the poor attendances until now. Midweek attendances & atmosphere are always down these days, such a difference to the Vetch days A lot of people didn’t renew season tickets due to the dross served up by Martin for much of last season. It is no coincidence that the early bird offers ended when we were on that long run without a win last season. Hundreds didn’t renew because of that. Lots didn’t renew because of the ownership & transfer window fiasco last January. Add the abysmal start & the failure of Duff to win over many fans early in his tenure & we have what we have. | ![](/images/avatars/20217.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Hence what I referred to as the Martin legacy,whic was basically a fan base ,bored,frustrated, and bshitted for two years . People had walked away as it’s no fun seeing a ball passed sideways and backwards . Now ,Duff has stopped that carnage but not without those crying hoofball. Duff has learned his best line up and amended his strategy accordingly. Had we done that last season,we d have made play offs Anyway ,we’ll done Duffers but get fisting ,then they ll swallow it up | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Easy…..no need to bring us into it Kieth…..football is expensive these days. Personally I think midweek games are difficult to get to if you have kids to run about after school after work, can you be arsed to rush out again?
