Mick Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 That's fair enough Mick but you've not taken the North Sea into account, or death. Good point, taking that into account, they've had a higher average crowd than us 21 times, we've had a higher average 88 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Loads of em on an SMB thread claiming their away support (both historically and now) is bigger than ours. Priceless. they are doing this because we had 50 thousand yesterday- and away fans are more difficult to measure- find statistics about. they also bang on about pre 92 crowd bollox, but when you look at the 2o years before 92- we had higher averages, around 10k higher than them. and a few seasons in 70s and 80s we were 3rd best in country- even when in lower division. Summary-Mackems lie about crowds to feel better. Love it when they refer to us as the 92ers like no one went to SJP pre-Keegan Recently on some site, someone bothered their arse to do the stats and concluded that their gates have actually risen more percentage wise since 1992 than ours have The main reason for that of course was the very low base level they were coming from, and the shiny new, cheap and nasty new flatpack stadium effect when their gates shot up. Judging from the vast open spaces down there lately and the desperation of the one pound and free ticket schemes their attendances could be back down to Roker Park levels before too long.

Mick Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 so they have never averaged 50 thousand? No, the best average they've had was in 1950 when they averaged 47,785. Edit. They've averaged less than 17,000, 30 times to our 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Venison I didn't realise how good a footballer Bracewell was until watching him regularly. Back on attendances, for a long time and before the rise of ManU we had the record for the highest ever average attendance in English football, 59K plus and achieved in the old second division iirc. Amazingly, and no doubt deleted from mackem history books, it was before 1992. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about that 49,000, I do remember reading something about a record attendance for a reserves game but can't remember who it was against or what the attendance was. A bit of trivia which may or may not be out of date. We held the record for the two highest attendances for games abandoned in English football, 63,000 against Swansea and 54,500 against Forest.

Crazy day. Had our lot not forced their way into the two pens the two coppers wanted kept empty, people would have died. Unbelievable atmosphere. Spurs-supporting mate of mine was on their "Shelf" and reckoned the structure of the away end was swaying during the Blaydon Races. Hell on afterwards as well. Great fun for a 16-y-old!!
