They might just as well publish that and cancel all football competition.
With a couple of exception the status quo has not changed over the history of football.

I like leagues we aren't bottom of....

It was rarely full tho

That's not the point. The bigger games would have attracted more fans therefore our average attendance would have been higher.
I find people's fascinations with attendances a bit cringeworthy. Been working in Newcastle too long.

Fair comment

Look who's back, I'm sure this time tomorrow there will be a f***ing sad article in the mag fanzine about how Newcastle are above sunderland in this attendance table.

Look at the top 30 supported clubs in europe last season and you'll see the same glaring omission. It just makes the crowds that much more extraordinary imo.
Hey, I've just remembered - we haven't won a major european trophy either!

Bear in mind we spent a large part of that time in lower leagues

Using that argument we'd be lower down the table as every club around us has had more sellouts than us.

But we've had a far lower capacity is my point. 22k for a club of our size was a joke.

If they used a calculation system based on average attendance to success ratio we'd be top by miles.
A handful of challenges for the title in the late 40s & 50s, 1 FA Cup win, 1 European competition and plenty of seasons out of the top flight.
Mags surely? Won nowt since the fifties and fourth in the table

When the "big club" threads are on the go my contribution is generally that theres 13 clubs bigger than the rest and the top 12 in that table are them with Sheff Wed having slipped one place.....which tbh has surprised me.
