Historically big clubs

Re: Historically big clubs

In order to become that big club, we need the plastics, the ones that turn up in the PL, at Wembley etc….5 years of success we might keep them for once, but we never do……

They soon vanish don't they

Re: Historically big clubs

In 52/53 City had the 8th highest average attendance in the league. With an average above Man Utd, Man City and Villa. Despite finishing mid-table in the top flight.

Re: Historically big clubs

Yep they were in the ground averaging circa 55000 the year before they struggled all season and then won the europa league averaging circa 60000 which they still do. Now I’ll leave you with the last word Don’t want to get dragged into another sludge derailment

They hadn't moved into the ground when I thought a 60000 stadium might be too big for them

Struggling in the Premier league is not struggling is it ?

Re: Historically big clubs

No I havnt

The fans are great I should know I was there home and away with sometimes 2500

The seventies , eighties , nineties , naughties, sixties , ask your bald shooting mate, the club has never had the support it should have which is the fault of the fans that don't bother not the loyal fans

I know loads of fans who have followed city home and away for decades and still do and often catch up with them

I know who our loyal fans are

No-one is obliged to attend a football match. Your criticism of those who choose not to attend or to attend occasionally is totally futile.

Re writing history again. They were doing well in the prem when you said what you said. I haven’t got the skill or the inclination to find the post but I’m 100% positive I’m right. Crack on with your denial though.

Of course nobody is obliged to attend a football match

But if someone from Taunton who has no links whatsoever to Manchester or Liverpool and uses their free will to support the big clubs then I reserve the right to comment on it

Wether you approve of that is your free choice

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.

Re: Historically big clubs

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.

It matters not what I approve of, old fruit - and my comment wasn't about those who adopt big teams from afar.
