The famous two blues secured a return to the NPL last evening at a raucous Newcastle Benfield.
Backed by around 200 travelling supporters Bishops' ran riot with a 7-1 win to gain the point needed to secure the Northern League Div 1 championship for the first time in 38 years and with it a return to the NPL for the first time in 18 years!

Yep 1 to many congratulations!got to admit i hope bury come up theyve a few supporters! Hmmm. Given Bishops average gate is only 419, or 318 if you take off the 1102 that attended your derby against West Auckland your gates aren't that amazing in comparision to the rest of the league. You'd be 5th and 8th respectively. NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE - EAST TABLE # Team Matches Highest Lowest Total Average 1. Stockton Town 19 1218 450 12397 652 2. Ashington 18 711 345 9253 514 3. North Ferriby 19 803 301 9561 503 4. Belper Town 18 726 257 8601 478 5. Sheffield 18 634 73 6276 349 6. Cleethorpes Town 19 578 258 6596 347 7. Consett 18 500 240 6118 340 8. Grantham Town 19 1022 205 5952 313 9. Ossett United 18 485 168 5588 310 10. Hebburn Town 17 611 173 5215 307 11. Pontefract Collieries 19 434 151 5579 294 12. Bridlington Town 19 459 147 4834 254 13. Winterton Rangers 18 462 156 4258 237 14. Brighouse Town 18 387 158 4207 234 15. Dunston 19 456 77 4154 219 16. Liversedge 19 519 82 4131 217 17. Stocksbridge Park Steels 18 378 122 3608 200 18. Newton Aycliffe 18 414 114 3371 187 19. Carlton Town 19 384 112 3558 187 20. Grimsby Borough 18 375 124 3325 185 Our lowest gate isn't that far off your average with WA, and higher than without it. Bear in mind also your gates drop in this league as you don't get many away supporters a lot of the time, I'd maybe concentrate on getting more people through your gate than worrying about other teams attendances www.thenpl.co.uk/match-info/attendance-tables |

As someone who's been to every ground in this league this season baring Sheffield, some of those numbers are bullcrap.
Consett's probably the most heinous. Crowds of over 250 yet both stands mostly empty? Cleethorpes another often reporting shy of 300 in a relatively empty ground.

I've seen them claim over 500 when there was maybe 120 in, and around 50 of them were from Ashington. |

Consett as you say were doing it for the 3 or 4 years in the Northern League prior to going up so no suprise. Also Ashington seem to artificially inflate their crowds. Bishops' will be up toward the top of the real time / real amounts actually in the ground next season, IMO. As for our crowds this season - nearly always in the 300s, 1,102 v Shildon, 700+ v West Auckland and a number of 500+ gates v the likes of Birtley and Crook, with 400 + on multiple occasions vs the likes of Whickham, Redcar and Carlisle City...whom hardly boasted any kind of significant followings. |

Totally disagree about Ashington, you’ve gone fishing there. I doubt you’ve been to any of our games this season so you’d clearly have no idea. I’m not denying your gates have been good, they’re just not as good as you reckon. |
