...seem to be pretty stable at around 3300-3600.

When you look at some other clubs in our league, its not bad at all is it?

Makes you wonder, did the "Come To Pools" Season Ticket deal actually ensnare many younger fans who have stuck with it?

When you look at our mid-90s "crowds" (lots of 1700-1800s in there) it looks v.healthy indeed...

Shame we rarely get to celebrate a victory at home these days, for the last ten years our record has been dreadful really. If we could improve on this then the crowds could be even better!

The two years I was PA Announcer I think we only won about 12 games at home!! Our Home Record as you say is actually abysmal. Thankfully I get to the odd Away game but it's no good performing to 500-600 here and there..we need to start winning in front of the 3600.

It would be nice to get back to the Turner/Cooper period where we regularly played in front of crowds of 5,000 to 6.000 if my memory serves me right?

but we need to start winning home games which can,t be too far off I Hope :pray:

It's not utter shit. It's been good in patches, bad in batches and to most people with half a brain can tell the team is developing and trying to find its identity.

Saturday summed our season up perfectly at home, started brightly, took the lead, let them get back into it, didn't quiet have that extra spark or experience to get back into it, but managed comfortably to contain a good attacking side.

When we take the lead we need to learn to keep going and get that second goal.

I'm positive it'll happen at home soon.

The team may be improving especially away but the matches at home have been in large dreadful to watch. It will all be worthwhile i guess if improvements are made.

The chance at the end where all he had to do was tap it in from 4 yards. I wouldnt say we aere comfortable we could of lost easily by 3 or 4 goals.

We pretty much shut them down second half, we pressed them higher up the pitch, they hadn't created anything or even had a shot of note or any description at all second half until we gifted them a really soft penalty. Then a long range effort that rebounded off to bar last minute but we missed pretty an open goal at 1-1 as well when all Toto had to do was direct his header at goal. Until the daft penalty they looked to have run out of ideas after being really impressive first half.

We just need that first win at home then we can push on.
