Parkinson was manager then if my dates are correct. That explains a big chunk of it. We were playing turgid footy as you say. At least the year before (at the point of boxing day) auto promotion looked fairly likely.

I've just checked. We hadn't won in 8 games. Getting beat off teams like Burton and Leicester under21's in the tinpot trophy. 33,000 was actually a good turnout considering

Stadium doesn't even hold 49,000. Dunno why people say that.

The Stadium of Light’s current capacity of 48,707 makes the club’s home the ninth-biggest football ground in England.

Not arguing with you, just going off what the club say which is about as official as you can get.

No idea how old that article or quoted figure is mind and as you say maybe a bit less than that now.

Yeah I'd imagine at full capacity it would be around that. But take away the segregation and the 1,000 seats at the front of the away end they never sell these days. Around 47,500 would be a sell out. And that bit at the back of the Premier Concourse surely took a good chunk of seats out of the capacity as well. If you look next game. You'll see what I mean

So why did we only sell 33k for the boxing day game the following season? Which was only an additional 3,200 or so more than the previous home game. Compared to the Bradford game which was 17k more than the previous home game.

It had absolutely everything to do with it ffs.

If Methven had just left it to sell like a normal game, I reckon we'd have been looking at about 40-41 ish, 42 at a push.
