Ever since our rise from the lower leagues the lodgers have claimed that supporters from other clubs have jumped on the bandwagon jcls if you will.
In my opinion the more success you have the more supporters you attract and this is what is happening to the lodgers at the moment.
You had some of that lot when they tore down Central park (Averageing 15000 in the succesfull years btw ) saying they would never set foot in the JJB /DW stadium “we’ve sold our sole to that tw@t ” they cried “He’s getting non of my money ” was another .And so they entered into a ground sharing with the football club or should I say dragged and kicked into it the first few years proved to be unsuccesfull for the eggies as proved with there average attendance’s of 10000 .
Fast forward ten years and a little sniff of a hubcap trophy and all is forgotten the chubsters are now back to there 15000 average of Central Park days shouting from the rooftops getum onside we are the best .
But as us tics know they can’t do this without the odd sweetner sometimes it’s giving whole stands away disguised as partnerships with Heinz/ Worthingtons or giving a bundle away six games for £30 .But one thing will always stand out when we want an home game on a Saturday we will have a home game on a Saturday so move along Chubbies thats a good lot do as your told and all will be well

Of course success brings the fans in. Latics are the main proof of this.
We were averaging just over 6.5k in league two. Jumping a couple of thousand into league one and then a couple more thousand in the Championship. Then 6k fans on top in the premiership. Were did these 6 thousand fans come from? More importantly if we were to get relegated would they disappear again.
The main reasons I think the attendances have improved this year is how well they have been marketed. At least 4/5 games this season have been heavily marketed. Latics did the same for a three(?) game spell. Friends for a quid etc. They need move of this and attendances will of course improve.
Interestingly the two highest average attendances for the past 10(?) years for WW were the season they nearly got relegated and the season after.
The highest for latics was the first season in the premiership suprisingly. :roll:
