The above are attendance figures for the Ryman North Season so far. Despite most of the crowd figures still being on the low side it's encouraging to see 15 of the 22 clubs average attendances increasing. Naturally Grays Athletic have suffered the biggest decrease as they have come down from the Blue Square Premier with Waltham Abbey going from an average of 144 in the Premier Division to just 78 in Division One (North). The figures from Capershotts underline how important promotion to the Premier Division is for club's finances in a league that has many clubs who take very little away support with them.

Town's figure of 218 is better than last season's average total of 213 but still down on the crowds that attended Goldsdown Road a few seasons ago. Two of Town's local rivals averages have decreased - Ware last year averaged 123 but this year are down 99 and Cheshunt are down from 162 to 143.

Ten of the 22 clubs* have averages in double figures with Thamesmead Town and Waltham Forest not getting three figure crowds at home as of yet.

Enfield Town are one of the five club's who average over 200 which is positive as only Town and champions Lowestoft averaged over 200 last season. The season prior (2008/09)  it was only Enfield Town who posted over a 200 average with a figure of 216.
