Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I don't think their attendances should be laughed at mind because they have never been a 40k+ supported club and given how much crap they too have suffered and just how poor their history has been they still pull in decent crowds for me. I wont knock the club giving away free tickets either. They should have capped the capacity of the sol to 30K or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure if serious... Amount of games we play is irrelevant to the average attendance is it? Aye, but it's entirely relevant to the total attendance, which is what the first 2/3s of that article is about. The total attendance figure in the table is the number of people who attended our games divided by the number of games, hence we have an average total attendance of just under 50k people for the time period they took the measurement from. That then translates to a percentage of the total available seats for that same period vs. the amount we sold. It is not just the number of people who came to all of our games added up...

triggs Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure if serious... Amount of games we play is irrelevant to the average attendance isn't it? The headline states a fact, in that table we have the 6th highest AVERAGE attendance of all the clubs measured. We don't have the 6th highest average attendance though.

Wullie Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure if serious... Amount of games we play is irrelevant to the average attendance isn't it? The headline states a fact, in that table we have the 6th highest AVERAGE attendance of all the clubs measured. The average table further down the page has us in 13th. The 6th place is as a total, not an average. I can't remember this much dribbling obsession about our attendances in years previous. It's getting proper cringeworthy.

I'm not sure what's happening here. The first table - where we're 6th (with 1,146,044) - is the total projected tickets sold for the season. Average seats isn't brought into it. That's what they've based most of the article on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, their attendances are very decent given that they have also had to suffer utter crap on the pitch for decades. However, their average is a little further back down the list as compared to ours, that was never the point. The reason I made the post was that they missed the fact that it was the average attendance which factors in the number of games played, they seemed to think it was just the number of games we play that made us so high up the list....

It literally says beside the table which you think is our average, 23 * 49k. That is not average Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 They seem to have hundreds of threads about attendances. Some time last week they had separate ones about themselves, us and Boro running at the same time. Needless to say after allowing for seasonal adjustments, life expectancy, the North Sea etc and disregarding thousands of free tickets they all decided that they had the best support by far.

Don't forget the County Durham Mag glory hunters. Even Newcastle fans from parts of Durham closer to Newcastle than Sunderland are Keegan bandwagon jumpers. In summary no Newcastle fans lives in County Durham before 1992. None at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's the way they can just reel them off as well. I'd be struggling if I had to think the other way. Cantona's iconic chip, remember Matt Taylor scoring a belter and that's mainly because it was the day Laurent Robert went in a strop for Portsmouth that day. Then erm...nah.

Matt Ritchie's volley against them last season comes to mind. But that is the first one that comes to mind, due to it being a year ago and the fact he now plays for us! I am struggling after that?

Guest reefatoon Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think the only goals against them i remember, was when they scored three own goals in the same game.
