Post War Average League Attendance Table

[SurreyMackem]

I find people's fascinations with attendances a bit cringeworthy. Been working in Newcastle too long.

Attendance = success or at least that's what we hope.

ITHICS

But as @Daffy pointed out Roker Park wasn't sold out too many times those years. It was less than 10 years IIRC.

And I responded to Daffy's post.

 

[vinegar hill]

We've spent a total of 30 years outside the top flight since WW2.
Amazing average really.

 

[Maximus]

It doesn't help considering our capacity was 22k for a decade. Longer?

The regular sub 12000 didn't help either in the 80s

Any way can we have an attendance sub-forum instead of all this shite

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.

Aye. That was arguably in the top 3 cringeyiest things since they got relegated.

Someone read the thread
Someone wrote an article about it
Someone edited the article and approved it
And someone published it

And not once did anyone of them think it was an embarrassing idea.

Wolves, Birmingham and Sheff Wed averages are impressive given the amount of time they have spent outside the top flight over this period.

For those posters not bored rigid by attendance threads - those who are, look away now!

Apologies for not being able to list in a table!

how have we played more games than arsenal in the top flight in this time span ?

edit

oops realised its all games

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

I'm stunned it's that high

So am I, they were down to 5000 at one point and did nothing for over 20 years.

It doesn't help considering our capacity was 22k for a decade. Longer?

Nowhere near a decade. Still officially 29000 for the 93/94 season.

I'm surprised that the teams from Forest down to Ipswich are ahead of Blackburn, Bolton and Pompey. There you go.

 

[Metro Man]

Mags surely? Won nowt since the sixties and fourth in the table

Tidied....

 

[JGC]

But no-one supported the mags before 1992.... oh wait....

I can't remember that. Cheers for confirming though.

That was the rothmans football yearbook figure, which may not have been up to date. The last decentish crowd at Roker looks like 28000 against the mags in October 92. We had 23000 for the Villa game the season after, so who knows what the capacity was for that?

The Villa game was a full house.

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

The Villa game was a full house.

That looks like the cut off then. Was a squeeze after that, shame really.

What a truly awful website to read.

Also I thought it was only mags thay cared about attendances?

 

[DufraisFTM]

Don't be so bloody dramatic..

They have. It was horrific to look at.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Why are Spurs so under capacity? Is it building work?

 

[sonofagun]

Sounds cruel, but having large attendances only matters if it makes a tangible difference to the club's income. We give loads away for free so don't really benefit from it.

A season ticket at the SoL is along the same price as a panini and coke at White Hart Lane.

I wouldn't know what Mags care about. I don't go trawling their fan's sites.
