The Castle Premiership trail blazing log leaders Highlanders FC has been watched by more than 16 000 fans in just three home games.
With each passing game an additional 1000 fans attend the next game.
The statistics from Bosso Treasurer Secretary Odiel Nkomo on Monday indicate a steady flow of supporters.
Nkomo said in the first league game against Blue Rangers 4200 fans paid to watch former champions roll past new boy by three nil.
Milton Ncube grabbed a hat trick in that game, the first by a Bosso player in more than five years.
In the second game against the stubborn Hardbody, the figure increased to 5100.
Bosso subdued HardBody by 5-3.
On Sunday, fans flocked to Barbourfields.
Nkomo said, 6936 fans paid to watch the Black and White boys crush Monomotapa 3 nil.
The biggest crowed is expected on May 25 when defending champions visit for a re-arranged game.
A cheapest ticket is pegged at $3 with the expensive being $10. This means that assuming each fan paid $3, Bosso has collected about $48 000 in the three games.
The coming back of fans at Barbourfields comes at a time when the club said it was broke.
On Saturday, Tshinga Dube and a South African based businessman Phatudi Maponya pledged $8 200 and $10 800 each.
Maponya said he would take care of the official's salaries.
Mines and Mining Development minister Obert Mpofu also attended the function at Highlanders Club House.
