We had 27k for a derby game between 2 teams with nothing left to play for this season and both teams not having a great season. Derby got a smaller crowd and their circumstances are a bit unique after the points deduction with a “ it’s us against the world” attitude so not sure what your point is?
who cares :shrug:
We won’t see 15,000 of them again until we draw Liverpool/insert others, at home in the FA cup, next season
And that is absolutely their rightQuote:

Dont need them. I honestly think that we would have had more chance of winning if it had been the usual 18000 there yesterday.Quote:

Too right, absolutely let us down again yesterday. If we won every game 5-0 until the end of the season no one will even careQuote:

The atmosphere from many of the 18,000 has been rubbish for much of the season. A full crowd always helps
:hehe: Not making enough noise. Making the wrong kind of noise. Arriving late. Leaving early.Quote:

Derby is a small city, smaller than Cardiff we should be getting those kind of attendances regularly as well, but we've not got as large a core fanbase for whatever reason
Don’t forget that Man Utd had 75k and Morecambe had 5k.
Since we’re apparently listing off attendances with no context.
They’ve spent about 70 years in the top flight and we’ve spent 15. They’ve won the title twice in the 70’s while we were a Div2/Div3 team. At the same time they were Champions League semi finalists and playing in Europe.Quote:

yes of course that's all true.Quote:

can we get upto their level of attendance without that kind of success?
or how long a period of lack of success would it take for derbys crowds to fall as low as ours (and others at this level)?
I think the club could certainly do more to build attendances, a real shame about the result on the weekend as it was a big crowd and not many of the less regular attendees are going to want to hurry back on that evidence.
3pm Saturday KO and not on TV (first time since can’t be bothered to find out when) will have boosted the numbers a bit.
Hope this can be the norm going forward - just not the dead rubber aspect.
Don't forget taking shortcuts. Bastards.Quote:
