found the post 8/8/22. To quote you.” Don’t think West Ham will be getting 60000 crowds for long”. A season and a half later crowds are up 👍
They get 'barely' 50k for most games. The Atmosphere is dreadful. Don't know who they were playing, but last week at home in the PL there couldn't have been 40k there and the place was less than half full at the end.
To add, there forum[s] are full of comments about the ground and the atmosphere, and talk of a new, purpose built stadium - without a running track. They reckon there were 15,000 empty seats at their last home game v Burnley.
Yes, although the likelihood is that they're paid for seats, so count towards the actual attendance. This is London, you have businesses buying up seats for corporate partners etc, affluent people who can afford to buy an expensive season ticket and use it as and when. Arsenal have some spaces at their ground, as do Man City. It's not uncommon.
Average home crowd this season 62,435. Second best in premier league. Tickets sold as you well know know. Yes atmosphere is hit and miss. Same as most grounds.
OK packerman I was wrong
Error
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about now you twisted old fruit
👍
We played man city start of 83 84 season ?
Beat them , bodin scored
About 8500 there at Ninian
Lost up at Maine Road to two late goals after hemmerman scored
25000 if I remember
The theatre that is being played out these days with all the money is a different league but even back then Maine Road was a big old school ground and Man City were a big club
Man City not the best example….clubs like Sunderland and Newcastle dipped to 15-18k regularly back then…..boro even less sub 10k
Maybe not , Man City were a well supported big city club long before the money came along
Boro not on the same level as Newcastle, Sunderland
What's driven our attendances in modern times has been as much to do with expectation and recognising the club's ambitions as to actual playing status. In the Rick Wright promotion season we averaged [I think] over 8,000, bigger than clubs in the [now] Championship. In our last game of the season we had 17,000 - more than Chelsea watched Everton at Stamford Bridge. As has been said, the club missed a chance to progress when it had momentum on it's side..
Do you think West ham would get full houses if they got relegated and stayed down ? ..which is what I should have said initially and was different to what i did say
United , Liverpool , Spurs , I think yes
No idea tbh. I’ve lived in Romford and now live in ipswich and the fan base for West Ham is big in both these regions.more so in Romford obviously. Not sure spurs would sell out every week if they were marooned mid table in the championship.for a few seasons. But it’s not gonna happen to either club so we will never know.
Well Leeds , Newcastle , Sunderland have had their bad patches so I wouldn't bet on it
West Ham are the most likely of the big London clubs to go down if anyone is ?
