I think a lot of the reasons for the growth in attendances have already been identified in this thread such as the style of play. Coupled with that, we have won just over 50% of all our league games since the Reedtz brothers took over and scored lots of goals along the way and that makes for happy customers. For me, another important factor is how the ground feels when we have 9-10,000 in the home stands. In the days when we used to get 5-6000 we really rattled around in there and there was no real big match feel. Nowadays, there’s so much more of a buzz both outside and inside the ground I believe that is something that contributes to occasional visitors wanting to come back for more.

Thanks, Robbie. I’ve been following Notts for well over 40 years now. It’s very much in the family and I’m glad to say that I’ve passed it on to my two boys too.

Hi everyone. Some of you might know me from Bluesky but this is my first post on here so please be kind 🙂 Having seen a Notts fan elsewhere recently claim that the club’s rise in attendances over recent years was just reflecting the current trend that all clubs have seen post-Covid, I thought I’d investigate this a little further. I looked at the clubs who were in League 1 & League 2 in 2025/26 & compared their average attendances with the averages those same clubs got in 2019/20 - the season that was interrupted near the end by Covid. The average attendances for L1 & L2 crowds from 2019/20 - 2025/26 increased by 20.75% (13 clubs have actually seen a drop in average attendances in that time). During that period, Notts’ average increased by a massive 100.23%, which was not only almost 5 times the overall average but the 6th biggest % increase out of the 48 clubs. We also had the 4th biggest increase in terms of the number of people through the turnstiles which went up by 5222 and was only bettered by Bolton, Bradford & Plymouth. The average increase in attendances for the 48 clubs was 1379. Proof, if it were ever needed, that our growth far exceeds any general trends and it is likely to increase significantly next year. These really are great times to be a Notts fan.
