As Guitar Ray says, we have some attractive matches to come.  I think we could end up averaging 5300 - 5400, depending partly on whether the last match is vital. That would then be plus 850 - 950, roughly a 20% increase. A different scenario.  After the absolute crap suffered by us under v2001/Mold, and then that creature, many many fans have been lost and it takes a lot to get them back. Just think of fanatical supporters like Fairportnick and his family, have they regularly returned? Sorry Nick, just using you as a typical example, nothing intended.   Attracting new fans in the future may be slightly easier now Stoke are no longer in the Prem though.

I would also be interested in seeing if new ownership had managed to entice Nick back(he had a big part in helping get rid of V2001) I know he said he found new things to do but if we could get these fans back it would be fantastic

He used to sit a few rows behind me but I've not seen him or his family this season. Shame as I enjoyed chatting to them at half time. 

Obviously, he could have thought i am a <ovf censored> and moved seats...

Let's not forget by the time the shanahans had purchased the club and had talked with John Askey it was mid May season ticket sales were very low at that point so they gave Askey a budget which was safe, now they've been in the club over a year and the finances are all staying in the club the budget can be looked at better for next season. Plus tbh you don't need a rediculously high budget to get out of this league a good management team bring a solid team together and you can get promoted

We don't know whether the finances are all staying in the club as we don't know whether Smurthwaite has been paid the final instalment of the purchase price. The rest I agree with though.

I thought they were paying off Smurthwaite over a couple of seasons.

If we have the 17th biggest budget, then it shows the JA and Co have put together a good squad of players this season.  Probably had to use some of it as well to pay off some players as well.  

Next year will probably be a better budget as well, so that will help push for a promotion slot as well - depending on which league we will be in.  If we get promotion this season, then it will be consolidating our position in the new league.

At least we know our new owners will support the club as much as they can and not squirrel money out of it like some people we all know.
