Wolfcastle Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) The gaps don't look that big now but when nearly every club in the top two divisions is sandwiched between 10k and 30k averages, 4k, 8k and 11k (randomly picked) are pretty significant. Stick an extra 8k (the gap between us and them in 88/89 *despite the heavily boycotted last two games) on our average and we'd have had the fourth highest gate in the country for example.

Jeezus. Knew it was something like but have been selling us short stating it as "something like 80-20 out of the last 100" which alone is trouncing enough.

Good to see what I've always suspected laid out in black and white - we have pretty much always had the higher average attendances, even when we were shite. Also nice to see the reference to our World record average attendances, which doesn't ever get mentioned - the first club in the world to have averages of 30,000 and then 50,000 (and that was in the second division)!

Guest Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 This must be a new one to explain our attendances. They'd come to our matches but we'd not go to theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Of course their attendances are low-balled. Dont believe the evidence of your eyes though that it could ever be the other way around… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TristandaCuna mags Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The mackems grasp on reality is glorious to behold, when they come out with random shite about Durham mags wearing their toon tops but never going to games, that’s because tens of thousands are locked out even a75k stadia wouldn’t be big enough it’s a simple fact, but it doesn’t stop the Bonny lads n lasses proudly displaying their colours,best bit is it’s tearing the mackem half a heeds apart…maybe’s best to compare themselves to a team of compatible size ie Southampton the team that supplied athletic club with red n white colours.

Wolfcastle Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Some reach that. If only their club had a similiar reach they might have closed the gap to being just under half as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
