This will be the new normal and they'll continue to drop until it bottoms out at around 7-8k. Watch it dip below that once results start going pear shaped.
All I wonder is how much lower attendances will drop across the league in the next few years?

And ALM attendances of clubs in general seem to decrease over time rather than increase.
Surely, many clubs will soon need to turn to smaller venues to survive.
