The attendance of 8,882 against Bolton means that we have now enjoyed the equivalent of a full season of home league games (23) where the attendance has been above 8,000.
That constitutes the best run for 65 years. The last time the club enjoyed a run of 23 successive home league attendances over 8,000 was in the Second Division between 26 January 1952 and 16 March 1955 (66 games).
The last time we had an attendance at a league game under 5,000 was for the National League game against Wrexham on 29 November 2016 (it was bloody freezing, I still haven't warmed up). Since then, we have enjoyed:
68 successive league attendances over 5,000 (average 8,625)
64 successive league attendances over 6,000 (average 8,797)
61 successive league attendances over 7,000 (average 8,893)
23 successive league attendances over 8,000 (average 9,151)
If someone had told me at that Wrexham game (attendance 3,344) that the average attendance for the next three years would be 8,625, I would have had them committed.
The average home attendance since we returned to the Football League stands at 8,927.
As John Beck would say, 'not bad for little old Lincoln'.
