Attendance Thread - Stoke City

[Daffy]

The big clubs certainly would, such as the Manchester and London clubs if they had suddenly found themselves with a couple of relegations. A struggling West Ham team are averaging over 60,000. Their all time record was I believe around 41,000 in the days when the three world cup winners played for them. Is that not remarkable ? The game has changed so much since the Premier League was formed and now even more in the time since the pandemic. Our gates are good but not remarkable as I believe at least another nine clubs - Man Utd, City, Liverpool, Everton, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and West Ham would draw either similar or much higher crowds. Are not Southend's crowds remarkable for a team who at best can only make the National League play offs. They are drawing the same average as when they were in the second tier in the early nineties. Nowt wrong with our support but hardly remarkable.

Well read my reply

Absolute rubbish
In the context of how low we have been for a sustained period given the same circumstance
You could probably count in Man Utd , Liverpool , Newcastle & maybe Arsenal / Spurs however they have been top tier clubs for a such a long period it’s hard to say how their support would react

The clubs you mention are all established top tier clubs with a long run in the Premier.
Sunderland are a championship club who have spent the last four years in the !st division.
No comparison

West Ham man. Probably a catchment area of well over a Million.

How many of the 60,000 are season ticket holders. They are going to show as tickets sold

Stoke owners landing their helicopter at Monkwearmouth academy tomorrow. rich bastards

They go pretty much everywhere in it. Flies over my house on their way back from games.

Do they leave 10 minutes early to avoid the rush?

No amount of money would ever get me in a helicopter, proper death traps them things.

See how many West Ham get next season if they’re relegated.
That will be the test to see how many tourists they have.

So you are comparing our support with best supported teams in the country?

Does that not tell you how good our support actual is

 

[Honess10]

Aye let West Ham plummet through the championship in rock bottom and then have them pissing around league 1 for 4 years.

 

[southstander]

Are we making AN buy a ticket to get in?

To hell with that. If i win the Euro millions it's a Harrier jump jet for me.

I'm sure there must still be a few about. Not sure i'd get away with the needing to leave early crack with that mind.

As long as i can get my bike in the back.

Riveting.

There's one at RNAS Yeovilton. Don't think it's moved for years though

I'm sure your lass will protest at this?

Riveting.

Must be, you replied

 

[Inside Forward]

For what is historically the world’s most boring fixture

One that sticks out for me was the 0-0 draw on a Monday night. 1st February 2010, I still remember the date it was that bad.

Probably the worst game I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched us in League 1.

 

[ca8msm]

That to me says the rest in there have been Cashbacked. Assume the same thing with the other Blocks. Proabably be a dozen or so pop up here and there in the morning.

.
.
For those counting their pennies.

P14 is classed as NW Corner so are £29 for Adults (not £35 as they are in the Premier Concourse). Concessions prices are the same as elsewhere.

Is there a breakdown anywhere of which block relates to each corner/stand/area or whatever it's called? If so I can probably add the into the section breakdown on the tracker as it won't change.

You might be surprised. Though she is forever telling me to treat myself, i'm sure this would be a bridge too far.
Though i doubt my back garden could accommodate one, the Usworth aircraft museum is just down the road and it would fit in nicely there. Just next to the Vulcan.

 

[GRABS]

They are known to rip tarmac up when they do vertical take off aswell. Fairly sure the trees would struggle too.

With you on that one. Especially after what happened to the Leicester owner.
