Martinez Have To Get The Crowds Back

Roberto Martinez has been left perplexed by the dwindling attendance figures at The Liberty Stadium this term.

Despite the dwindling numbers and a ever present feeling that the Spaniard is building a successful Swansea Side spectators are still shying away from the Stadium on Match days.

Whilst there is a perceived downturn in attendance figures on the previous two seasons at the clubs new home however there are positives to glean.

97,607 fans have gone through the turnstiles so far this season which has seen Swansea city have the 3rd highest attendance figures in the league. Only Leeds United and Nottingham Forrest can claim to have higher figures.

The 10,845 average is well bellow the 20,500 capacity of the Stadium.For a club that is pushing for promotion to the 2nd tier of the football league is wholly unacceptable.

Club officials have made consertive efforts to encourage supporters to purchase tickets even going so far as offering £23 season tickets to under 16's.

Martinez insists despite the disappointing numbers , fans who to attend the games still have a big part to play.

The tactician also added that the players performances have to be right in order to attract more supporters to the stadium.
