We didn't get than many vs nobbers in the championship, although 1 was 'sold out' but with huge segregation.
Tbf it was higher price and 1 in the covid aftermath and 1 under the very unpopular Appleton.
I think we could definitely sell the 3 sides and spill into the east. But it would definitely help if we had some wins and were in the promotion mix.
What we have managed to do though is keep similar ish numbers to the league above, so this is our new base at this level, so if we do have a promotion season this or soon, with fans in attendance at playoff /Wembley or auto promotion winning games, it'll be massive for growing the fanbase. This I mentioned as one of the benefits of going down if we do get to go up again soon.
Championship success is far harder to come by and casuals are attracted to success and days like playoff games. It's vital they can attend and it was damaging last time. They are more likely to attend again after witnessing a playoff success and they also get registered on the system not only for previous purchase history but for marketing.
