Depends on how January goes. 20K would be nice, but I can't really see it.

Mainly because it'll be on at a stupid early time (haven't looked but I'm guessing) which will put many off including families who have children who do sports on Saturday morning. Sooner that the main rivalry matches are brought back to 3pm the sooner we can bring back some atmosphere to our morgue of a stadium

18,000 max. Leeds up to 4,000 and us up to 14,000. It has become pretty clear since we got promoted that the surge in attendances simply is not there. With the offer that is being made via Season Ticket Holders this will give DH a clear indication of potential attendances going forward. Some even think that if we got promoted to the premier league we would get full houses, for a couple of games yes but say Town v Stoke probably 18,000 at best. There is an initiative nearly every game now & this makes little difference to attendances - there are simply not enough people interested in watching Huddersfield Town above what we get now.

Relegation 6 pointer this one, should be a big crowd. Leeds will keep their side of the bargain and sell all their tickets.

20,000 + I think. They'll sell out the away end and town fans will see an upsurge in ticket sales due to the cracking ticket offers. Over the past few seasons the tickets have been quite expensive so some fans have stayed away.

There is an initiative nearly every game now & this makes little difference to attendances - there are simply not enough people interested in watching Huddersfield Town above what we get now. Don't worry, if we get to the promised land we wouldn't have any problem selling out for season tickets, people wouldn't want to miss the chance of seeing some of the best players in the world. You say we would only get a full house for a couple of game's!! so what about the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Manure, Everton, tickets would be like gold for those games alone and when we played Liverpool in the cup, the ticket office said they could easily have sold double the amount of tickets such was the demand. Since we have been in the Championship we have struggled and i don't think the crowds have been that bad really and what a lot of people don't seem to realize, we are coming up against big city clubs who have far bigger populations than that Huddersfield. If you put it in to context, Huddersfield with a population of around 150,000 with an average crowd of around 12,000 is not bad while Leeds with a population of 750,00 and average crowds of around 24,000 is very poor

If we got into the PL I believe we may get 3/4 full houses but no more. The vast majority of people in Huddersfield are simple not interested in watching the football club. It is a real shame but that is how it is.

It is a real shame but that is how it is. That's due to us bottling the big time and big games most of the time. Remember the Mansfield crowd when we could've won automatic promotion in the 4th division and they had to delay the kick off due to the crowds outside the ground. Imagine a home game in the Champioship where if we win we go up? We'd fill it just like we did against Liverpool at home in the cup. Bring the big games and teams to the JS for a season and we'll fill the ground week in week out.

You're talking like we'd still sell the number of STs we sell now! To get to see the chelsea , man utd liverpool arsenal etc games you'll need a season ticket because all 18500 available would sell out. Add on corporate and big away followings most games, then I doubt we'd have any sub 20k attendances at all. Most games would be 22-24000

If the novelty of leeds united at home has worn off as a town supporter then the place really is doomed. why,im happy with 3 points who ever we beat,it just doesn't have the same excitement as it used to,football in general doesnt You will have no argument from me on the declining attraction of modern day football but personally, that's one reason why I will try to cling onto the feeling that the leeds fixtures give me. No better place for me to visit as a town fan than elland rd. it's one of the last few remaining bastions of how football used to be on derby day. Moody loud and hostile. It will always have that edge that gets the pulse raising and the heart pumping. Leeds at home?....the one I always want to come around quickly. The night game against them was the only time we have ever reached anything like a proper old school atmosphere at this stadium. How I long for those days again but as you rightly say....it's in decline and that's a whole new 100 page thread. Enjoy the game today. Utt

If we got into the PL I believe we may get 3/4 full houses but no more. The vast majority of people in Huddersfield are simple not interested in watching the football club. It is a real shame but that is how it is. Just not true soft boy. Many fans are fed up with football in general right now, a good many consider it over priced but alot of the more fickle town fans would be here like a shot if we reached the so called promised land. Leeds are no different - piss poor currently by their own recent standards and paying through the nose....average crowd c20k but the fickle thousands would return if there was a scent of something positive happening. Why do we always bemoan our fan base? As deo states, the Mansfield game was delayed to let in 18k+ for a league 2 fixture. The game has moved on since then, and not for the better but rest assured there is good support for our club if it got its arse together ON the pitch and we would be full most weeks. For those who do bemoan our crowds, take a look at qpr, Fulham, Bolton, burnley, Wigan, Blackburn - we are more than capable of holding our own in that company.

Utt cheers mate,,, i agree with you on Elland rd being a hostile place to go,unlike most clubs churning out that were a family club,obviously its to get as many people through the turnstyle as possible,which makes sense,,i think a big problem is that the players cant tackle any more without getting booked, years back teams had hard men who got stuck in,and it got the crowd up for it and the players,, i find it so diluted the modern stop start play acting game,

Most games would be 22-24000 That might be the case for one season, but do you reckon - if they made it stick - there'd be the same appetite for Sunderland, Stoke and Swansea three or four years down the line? (That's an open question; though, my suspicions would be not)
