The fact it was 20 years ago, at Roker Park (capacity of 22k) confirms you are talking utter rubbish.
So why didn't you sell out 22k every game?

They are in North Yorkshire surely ?Where is the harm in wanting Boro to do well? It would be good for the region if they get promoted (and we stay up)
Why are you checking our past attendances you sad arse?

Maximus made the claim that your attendances have always been higher than ours, so I set out to prove him wrong, and did.
05/06 you averaged 28k and that was when you were still in the Premier League.
Wasn't there a quote in Roy Keane's book where he said that there was only something like 16k there at his first game in charge.
100% correct. Take a bow son. Hate Leeds more than little boro.Basically saying there a tin pot club that nee fucker gives a shiney shite about

I was just clarifying the 16k from the book.I don't think our home following is much to write home about. Good numbers at times but some right moaning fuckers and listening to them you'd think they're only there to vent there spleen. Lost count the amount of times we've told a few to fuck off home because it seemed their express purpose of being there was to get on the players' backs, and when we're right in the shite that shouldn't be welcome.
Away following much better over years, and that's where we can say we have a better following than most. Took some very good numbers over the years when not much to play for at places such as Cambridge.
05/06 was the 15 point season we averaged 33,904. Still more than tiny Middlesbrough who couldn't even sell out when you played at Hartlepools ground.
I don't get the relevance of your blathering? Just because you can't fill your shit heap of a ground, doesn't mean we are going to get 20k next season and I'm yet to see you make a pertinent point to suggest otherwise. Hence you are talking rubbish, and you look like a tit.
30k+ every game next season. If you go down and struggle, you'll drop down to 20k.

For the most part they are though aren't they? I mean, why bother comparing your attendances with ours? You're embarrassing yourself.
Seriously ffs this thread is embarrassing, Boro will never get as big crowds as us or the mags on average. Much like we'll never get as big crowds as Arsenal or Man Utd.
Did I say that for the most part your attendances aren't better than ours?
I just responded to his claim that you've always averaged higher attendances than us, which isn't true.
Can't be arsed mate, these threads pop up all the time and are pointless. It's totally irrelevant, as are BoroDid I say that for the most part your attendances aren't better than ours?

You obviously didn't see my earlier post did you.
That might be true, but because there are a lot more people interested in football these days it stands to reason that places with bigger populations will get much bigger crowds in.
Back in the '80s and early '90s before football became a fashion, there wasn't that much difference in the followings both clubs had.
The gap was probably bigger in away followings than at home.
I'm from a place half way between Sunderland and Middlesbrough and when I went to school it was more or less 100% SAFC.
The truth is that there's not that much difference between the clubs except our club can bring in more fans when the club is doing well.
I can't imagine a place that is evenly split SAFC/Newcastle with a couple of Boro because over our way which like I say is half way between Sunderland and Middlesbrough it was all SAFC. At a guess I'd say you're more South West Durham - Spenny/Ferryhill somewhere like that?
