Same with the red shirt fiasco. There was no drop in crowds after we went red. Crowds increased in the PL, then dropped back a little to our Championship winning season following relegation. Our worst average attendance at Championship level since the cup final season (when we were at Ninian Park) was the full season under Russell Slade. Our attendance was better in the Championship following relegation, when we wore red for part of it, than it was when we finished 2nd under Warnock.
