You lot aren't going down, the 5 "B"s are much worse than your team.

No...

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Same as usual. When the team starts winning regularly the crowds will come back. Doesn't matter what club you support. Winning football always boosts the crowd.

Stupid to compare 80s attendances with todays. Everton finished 7th in 1984 and averaged 19,000.

I'd ask for a recount on yesterdays attendance too. We might pull 15K at a push.

 

[sksk3021]

Bigger if we do well lower if we don’t, same as most.

Well I'm down as being there with a season ticket. But I wasn't.
No doubt there are many more like that.

If we are playing well and pushing at the top of the league 30,000, but if we are playing shite and downt the bottom around 13000.

By your ‘stupid’ comment I’m waiting with interest for your more meaningful Sunderland comparison.

 

[Caer_Urfa]

20000 hardcore.

 

[Its Him Again]

15 to 20000 .
All the fans are still on holiday.
If we are relegated some of the stands will be closed

In 1988 17,000 gave us the 15th best in the country. To bet 15th best nowadays you"d need 24,000.

The op was speculating at the size of our crowd should we get relegated again. This would leave us in the third tier of professional football in this country. The only time this has happened in comparatively recent history is the Dennis Smith season.

Whether that leaves us the 24th or 39th best supported team in England didn’t appear to be of interest to the op.

Our attendance isn’t determined by the popularity of the game nationally- it’s what Sunderland do that determines our crowds.

Thankfully we still live in an area where, to lots of people, football would have great appeal with or without sky and it’s hype.

Local economic performance also has a negligible effect - if the side are playing well people will find the money to go, end of
