I'm happy with the numbers who come to Barnet games which is why GFs little jibes don't bother me. It's in the top half dozen for the league they are in. 1100 of those who go have bought into the membership scheme and we don't get 1000's of away fans coming through the door (50 away fans on Sat).
As GF says the target audience isnt the same, we represent a town on the edge of London, there are 3 other clubs who originate from London Borough of Barnet and we have to compete with a dozen london league clubs who are higher up the pyramid than us.
Broncos represent a far larger area with far less local competition and it sounds like they are guaranteed a decent number of away fans to most games. Reading this back it sounds like away fans outnumber home fans at every game which is pretty sad.

Wait till wigan turn up they could easily fill the 5k on their own.
