Personally I’d much rather watch Warnock side than what OGS,Slade and finally Trollope served up
Early season we were a joy to watch I loved our style of play
Then Friday night in Birmingham we weren’t even in the game and lost sustained a few injuries and things changed
Since then we had our blip over Xmas and Warnock had to get us back to winning ways which ever way it took
Hence why we went on our unbeaten run even playing some nice stuff in between til wolves ended that
Warnock wants his 8th promotion and he’ll get it the way he feels best
We are obviously not going to play the same football we did early doors at this stage of the season
It’s all about getting us over the line whatever it takes.
I really hope he achieves his Record 8th promotion he fully deserved it
If you want tippy tappys stuff go and support Fulham
Brentford at Fulham fwiw

Also watch the highlights here- goal for Brentford is on 5 minutes and you can see the Brentford fans then good 2500 imho.
The away section of that end hold 3700 Ish and it's easily 3/4 full.
The whole Stand holds something like 7000.

For balance I would suggest the 2010/11 is largely due to the large number of season tickets bought the season before when people thought we were going up.
Also 2012/13 inflated with the previous seasons Wembley trip v Liverpool.
We have a low number of season ticket holders this season but have sold 17k or so for next. If we don’t go up and come bottom half in the championship the average attendance will still be 20k plus. What will that prove about the rebrand (which is what you have brought it back to once again here in this thread)? Absolutely nothing.
It’s all about season ticket sales for all clubs.
we have not been a lower league side for over 15 years, in that time we've been to two cup finals and Play offs twice, the premier league, a billionaire owner and new stadium, to compare the expectations of fans nearly twenty years ago to now is wrong in my opinion. On the back of that progress, we've gained new fans, and those fans that are below thirty have seen progress and their expectations are probably higher due to this.

For those who are interested, this season's average Championship attendances are at this link. Over a thousand lower than the Wurzels despite being automatic promotion challengers all season. I don't know about you but that's a surprise to me.
This is precisely what happened in 2012/13. That season we started off as we finished the previous season, playing quite an attacking style, until we lost 5-4 at Charlton. At the time we had scored just over 2 goals a game on average but conceded an average of 1.5 goals a game. For the remainder of the season our conceding rate halved, but our scoring rate nearly halved as well as we became far more defensive as a team. Our first 15 games saw 53 goals - our remaining 31 games saw 64.
You've probably got a point, however given the disruption we've had with injuries since September until pretty much now, it's not surprising that we've reverted to type.
We are a big strong side and against the likes of Forest that gives us a massive edge. So we play to it.
Lots of people probably preferred to stay in the pub and watch Man U v Spurs and then maybe City after.
Yes, I was definitely disappointed. I was expecting 2-4K more.
I don't really think it was the kick off time that cut it by that much really.
A few weeks ago we had a fantastic away performance on Sky vs Brentford and that had a lot of people talking about coming to see us again.
Unfortunately the next 3 on Sky we didn't win and played poorly overall, maybe that had an effect on the waverers.
Thing is these days it's heavily influenced by season ticket sales.
We are 4-6k down on the Ines at the start of this decade and I believe a couple of thousand down in Bristol ( hence then still showing 20k + crowds despite being shite recently £
I'd expect our walk ups are actually similar to what they've been in previous promotion challenges.
This seasons success will ironically influence next years attendances as next year whatever league we are in or how badly we are doing we will have at least 3000 more season ticket holders than this year.
Another example of this is when under Ole despite being rubbish we were still posting very good gates.
Reality was 3/4K of the season ticket holders weren't even attending.
