Which clubs if they had the same last decade as us


This whole argument is absolutely pointless until the other clubs listed in the original post replicated our utter shiteness over a few decades, even in recent times we have had the 19 and 15 point seasons, constant relegation battles in the top flight, successive relegations-Premier League to Championship and four seasons in League One etc etc...cheats/mercenaries/third raters wearing the shirt...

Yet here we are averaging 40k in the Championship after all this-you could safely say that not many clubs worldwide would get that had they been through as much as we have...very, very few....
 
Would compete for attendances
Very few-
Manure
Liverpool
Saudis
West Ham
Arsenal

We are a massive club.
Try the last 1/4 century.
During that time:
We have 3 of the worst 10 PL teams in history.
We’ve dropped to the 3rd division and hung around there for way too long.
We played a nonce
We signed a player that wasn’t even allowed to play

This list could be huge


I think the mags would still get huge crowds

I agree with your last sentence. I would have agreed with you in entirety a decade ago. The game now is a monster. It controls, entrances and manipulates the masses.

I think that something special is being a member of the Premier League at a time when football popularity is at an all time high. If we go up this year we could sell out with season tickets alone.
Aye first season
 
You can definitely remove Arsenal from the list have you heard their fans whinge like fook if they don’t make top four .No way would they accept the shite we have put up with.

Leeds would be close. People need to accept that their support is huge nowadays. 36k in the league cup 2nd round earlier this season on the night we were getting 10k against Crewe with lower prices. That’s bigging them up, not slagging us off.

Villa have historically had a fickle support but if they charged what we do I don’t think they’d be far off either.

Neither would be anywhere near if they’d had to endure what we’ve been through over decades.

Leeds’ last 20 years is worse than ours mate. Time’s moved on and their teams of the early 90s and early 00s mean they’ve massively grown their fanbase relative to what it was.

Villa is more debateable like, I get that. But they’ve got a huge ST waiting list (in the Prem obviously, after being tested less).

All teams can say that. Our implosion became others byword for doing a Leeds. Champions League semi-finals to L1 for the first time with a 15 point deduction in 6 seasons. Losing to Histon, a Cambridgeshire village in 1st Round of cup. Owners like Ridsdale, Bates, the only Arab bank with no money, a nutcase in Cellinio who was banned from running the club for a season. Ups and downs eh 😁

They’ve only averaged over 30k 4 times in the last 11 year.

For the size of the city and they way they go on about size of the fan base their attendances are pish like.

Sheff wed are only 3k behind their average this season and they have stupid prices and are such a bad team.

Sheff Wed average this season is 9,312 below ours to be exact ;)
 
:lol: Ffs sake the shite that gets posted on here is comical at times.

Attendance is not meaningless in the FL and Championship. It maybe becomes a bit less important in the PL. So “relatively meaningless” infact that clubs like Liverpool, City, WHU and Spurs are actively attempting to have smaller stadiums.
:lol: As my reply above states FFS
Stupid response.

Of course no club seeks to "actively have smaller stadiums."

Try filling the stadium you have (ideally for 90+ minutes) and then you might have a point.
