From what someone has said in the pledge thread.

10300 tickets doesn't equate to a minimum 10300 for ever game as a lot of those tickets will be family tickets so that's even more people. Then add on the visiting fans and Odsal will be packed out

It doesn't equate to every ticket holder being there either. There are plenty of people who don't make every home game of the season but who will be saving money by buying a season ticket. I made about half the games last year. I won't have to go to that many to have saved money.

Its not actually clear whether ticket holders attending is actually necessary for them to count towards attendance figures. We pay tax on the ticket whether you attend or not. Ive heard plenty of anecdotal evidence that clubs announce all season ticket holders as attending all matches whether they show up or not.

I asked Ryan Duckett about this and he confirmed that all season ticket holders are counted in published attendance figures regardless of whether they attend or not.

If thats true then we've got a 10,300 average attendance figure for next year before any away or walkup supporters are even added. And thats irrespective of any confusion as to whether club has announced family tickets as 1 or 2 adult tickets so figure could be higher. Good news and a license point ticked for next year at least. Now we need on field performances to improve to ensure we retain the support going forwards.
