Crab Lungs Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 24th best in League One! Wonder what it'll be if we were in the Prem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 It's all time attendance record. Makes you wonder how much higher it would be if we weren't held back by The Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 I thought with St Marys for nearly the last 10 years we would have edged past the blue few down the road by more than 5 people before now. Glossop North End At 119 was a surprise, my sister lives in Glossop and we went with them to the FA Vase final a few years back, it wasn't until I read their friend who writes for the Guardian's book that Glossop North End were once a big player in the early days of Football. The Hill Woods the owners of Arsenal, were the Beneficiaries of Glossop until they went south with all readies they made in cotton and the milling of.

brmbrm Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 Errr, read it - its the all-time-ever -average, not the current average. So its weighted by all those decades years and years ago when the Dell limited attendance. Plus when 60,000 inbreds had a fmaily day out at Fartton Prak. What i think it does show though is that Saints are clearly a "BIG" club, sitting on the Prem/Championship border. Our "rightful place" if there is such a thing is there, so lets get there a.s.a.p.

Saintandy666 Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D2/attend.html According to this, our average is 21k? Edit: OH I SEE, THAT IS ALL TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latheal Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 21,600 is actually enough for 7th Place in the Championship. If we do go up this year I can see a few sellouts next year with the amount of local derbys and with the obvious natural increase in average attendence, we should be hitting around the 23-25K mark. I can't imagine many teams would get over 21K for games in League One - out of the ones above us, pretty sure Coventry, Ipswich, Sheff United, West Brom, Middlesborough, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd and Birmingham wouldn't. Unsure about Wolves and there's obviously Norwich below in the all time list that got a larger attendance than us last year. Its a fantastic effort and still don't think we get the credit we deserve for being such a well supported club from the media - Pompey get 17K or less, not even filling their stadium and everybody from Sky to Solent say what a well supported club they are. Don't these people do their homework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La BoIS Saint Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 Interesting to look the clubs no longer in the league, didn't realise some were ever in the league. Favourite has to be Middlesbrough Ironopolis who played in red and white stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 For this season our average attendance is over 21,000 and the inbreds is 15.5K....BIG CLUB, my arse!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite has to be Middlesbrough Ironopolis who played in red and white stripes. Try looking at the other table, the one that gives overall all-time points for all league teams. The 3rd best team ever in terms of points per game is not Manure or Liverpool, no it is that great bastion of football, New Brighton Tower FC. I'd never heard of them, quite an interesting story if you read about them on Wiki, played in an 80k stadium in Wallesey, folded after 3 years after attracting crowds of about 1000.

sidthesquid Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 Notice thye disclaimer - NB: Pre-war attendance figures based on media estimates and club records - both sources notoriously inaccurate I think you will find it was those pre-war years when the Skates maintained that they averaged 100000 per match to boost their claims to be better supported than us.

mcjwills Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 I see on all time league record we are 42nd and the Skates are 74th a full 32 positions above them hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latheal Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 And whats with Stoke and Bolton not selling out Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final? Fair play to Stoke for the win, but 75,000 in a 90,000 stadium? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Stoke for the win, but 75,000 in a 90,000 stadium? WTF? I suspect the answer has something to do with ticket prices and Club Wembley seats being unsold, there were a LOT of empty seats on the halfway line and the Club Wembley types in the middle tier also aren't going to dignify Stoke v Bolton with an appearance - and they get tickets automatically.

I believe Stoke sold out comfortably, Bolton had something like 5k seats unsold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
