As you say in the Championship, Yes. And that is the aimSo do we need an 18k stadium ? When we get into the championship then yes. But very few sell outs at the Kassam

Previous sales are only one factor when looking at future sales. Improve the product, improve the marketing and seize the moment. We're arguably producing the best football at the highest level since we've been at the Kassam. We have genuine Championship class players, open attacking football and a board that are looking to develop and improve every aspect of the club and it's standing within the community. Stick that in a purpose built stadium and we'll see much bigger crowds.So do we need an 18k stadium ? When we get into the championship then yes. But very few sell outs at the Kassam
I understand where you are coming from but all attendances at every match as you know includes away fans and there is no getting away with that fact. So when we eventually get in the championship our crowds will increase fortnightly based on even bigger away support. If this is at the k*ssam to start with away support will be capped like it is of today. But at the new stadium with the planned 18k the stadium will have been tailored to take into consideration away support from 1k up to 5k fortnightly giving OUFC's own support some growth from our 8.5k as of today to around 12k in future home support. Not an impossible task. Nevertheless, if we could grow our support to 11 to 12k we probably would end a season at Stratfield Brake averaging around 13 to 15k which will be reasonably successful. And from that nobody will be dissecting our average attendance then as we will be crowing at ourselves at being a club with with a home attendance average of 13 to 15k.With respect, 10k and 11k is great. But the measures should be based on home sales, not including away fans.
Mark - the Newcastle Utd home FA Cup replay from 2020 is not on the spreadsheet - the gate was 11,520.
Reckon there were some needing toilet paper when the referee added seven minutes of injury time.
Imagine if that had been your first game! Two boys of about 9 in front of me were absolutely loving it.Firstly, huge thanks to everyone who got on board with pushing and promoting yesterday's game. 10 seconds of some nugget on the pitch aside, it couldn't have gone better. Lots of new or recently absent fans were back and, helped by a great second half display, the atmosphere was excellent.
But we can't rest on our laurels with Pompey only 2 weeks away. Let's keep spreading the word, keep pushing the game in person and on social media, and just as importantly, keep your negativity elsewhere!
Back to back 10k attendances will be a real statement to local authorities about the level of support Oxfordshire has for top class football as well as helping push the team on.
Some first class for counting from @Colin B and continued support from @OUSP Secretary will hopefully help us along the way!
Let's make this happen
Still sends shivers down my spine that we gave Orient the whole of the north stand for the one of the most important games of our history… crazy decision!!Can you share this Spreadsheet, brilliant to look at!

There were people from Oxfordshire shut out on the day, lining the fence and standing on the mound. We should never have given Orient the whole stand.At the time the north stand had been shut to home fans for that season as crowds were so low.
No reason that for one of the most important games in the clubs history it couldn’t have been reopened for home fans, and even if it wasn’t it was a dreadful decision to to give Orient the whole of the stand, not that I’m surprised they were considering who was in charge.At the time the north stand had been shut to home fans for that season as crowds were so low.
Loads of Oxford fans missed out on a ticket that day. All because of short sighted greed.There were people from Oxfordshire shut out on the day, lining the fence and standing on the mound. We should never have given Orient the whole stand.
