Plumpton’s attendances rose by 23% from 26,143 in 2014 to 32,198 in 2015 mainly due to the following:
2014 2015
Jan 3rd meeting Abandoned 1,016
Feb 1st meeting Abandoned 1,147
Easter Sunday 2,308 (poor weather) 4,246
Easter Monday 4,359 5,517
Ladies Day 2,082 (poor weather) 2,994
These figures highlight the importance of the weather. Given the loss of income due to the weather on the 3rd January the importance of a good Easter especially with no Premiership or Championship football over Easter cannot be underestimated.
