Jonas Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 Anybody know what game that is? By crowd density and the time of year it seems to be I'd guess Blackburn 91/92. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a decent crowd as well, probably around 22/23k so it would either have been Blackburn, Tranmere, Swindon or Millwall I reckon. They were all 0-0 after 17 mins.

The older lads would have been in the East / West stands upper tier - they will have been sitting to watch the game. Ageing crowds and all-ticket matches has killed atmospheres more than anything else - all-seater stadiums are an offshoot of higher ticket prices (Lord Taylor advised going all-seater, but said clubs should hike prices as a result. We got the former but not the latter). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 (edited) That age for an average season ticket holder is very common - even for a club with a strong 'youth' brand like CPFC they've got the challenge of an ageing ST base. You'll see more digital 'Fandom' products coming to PL clubs over the next year or two, awarding points for all kinds of behaviours.

Very few people wore replica shirts back then but that was soon about to change. This is 100% certainly the 91/92 season and the first match at Newcastle where I remember fans wearing replica shirts en masse was at the final game of the following season v Leicester when we won the league and released the new Asics kit the day before the match and 1000s queued up to buy it.

Jonas Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 Swindon was a hell of a shout. Similar conditions. Think I can see those three lasses on the crash-barrier when Scott Sellars (of all people) shoots over on their season video and on our version when were taking a corner the lad with the fluroscent yellow on his coat sleeves. Think I started wearing the replica tops the following season for whatever reason, possibly superstition after that 11/13 win start, remember changing into matchday wear when we were losing at Millwall and went on to win and when I can see myself in the crowd 91/92 and earlier despite having the shirts I'm not wearing them. Definitely became widespread with the asics kit (and warmer weather). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
