18 consecutive home wins in all competitions - Club Record.

21 separate teams beaten in a league season - Club Record.

24 consecutive home games unbeaten in all competitions - Club Record.

As the lads are breaking records on the pitch, is it feasible and do the Club/SAG have the appetite for us to try and break the attendance record for the stadium between now and the end of the season?

Maybe we should aim to break the season average attendance / total attendance to go with it...? rather than a one game record?

Possible for the Maidenhead game if we can find a way to integrate their 30-50 fans who will attend, possibly a temporary stand in the corner?

That, Fylde, Oxford City and Ebbsfleet all will bring sub 100 with them. If there’s a way we can adjust segregation temporarily we can do it. Would love to see us break 10k for a game

From the remaining away followings that we have to come, I cant see there being any "high risk category" fixtures. Cant we just integrate the away fans into our stands. Shouldnt be a problem.

We can’t get near capacity whilst away teams bring less than 100 fans due to segregation. We lose about 1000 seats with those offered to them and the netting.
Not sure how we can get around that.

I'm loving that we get 6,000+ v Alty and Woking on freezing cold Tuesdays.

Let's just enjoy being part of that experience.

It’s impossible to do as things stand. Segregation under the East stand means E1 and E2 are the only ‘parts’ of any of our stands that can be separated off. Now, I’m not sure what the rules state (NL or SAG) regarding fan segregation…ie, does it HAVE to happen…If it doesn’t then with some of the smaller clubs who bring 50 or so, I don’t see why with some netting and imaginative stewarding, why we couldn’t have home and away ‘mixing’ in E1 and E2. But that’s the only way we’ll get 10,000 this season. The club should be looking at ways to do this surely.

Is there a reason why we can’t do a little segregation in the North Stand by sticking the small number of away supporters to one end rather than separating the East Stand?

Concourse and toilets, they’d have nowhere to go without mixing with home fans

Nothing a few portaloos and a burger can in north east corner can’t solve. Oxford City and Maidenhead fans will be used to that at home games anyway

Another possible record (it'll take some checking) this is another season without conceding a 'double', apparently making it 3 on the trot, does history give us a larger spell?

A small temporary stand in the NE corner would do the trick for these games.

Why can’t 40 or 50 away fans use the same concourse. Surely we are big enough to warmly welcome them. Obviously give them a separate area to sit. Many of the smaller clubs just alllow away fans anywhere if the away club isn’t bringing many

I think this needs serious consideration.

A quick Google suggests several companies could sort it, one at Castle Donington.

Which would give them a very good view of the back of the scoreboard.

I don't know the dimensions in that corner. The NW corner then perhaps. The cost v return issue will be that we can't be confident with sufficient warning which games will have the required demand.

Perhaps soilyhull could kindly loan us one of their unused 'meccano' stands and we could re-errect it to suit our needs.
