    Yesterday Attendance V Others

    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?

    We won’t see 15,000 of them again until we draw Liverpool/insert others, at home in the FA cup, next season

    It was nearly 28000 wasn't it, which must have been pretty much near capacity bearing in mind social distancing in the upper ninian and crowd segregation measures (two empty blocks either side of Swansea fans).

    The attendance yesterday wasn’t an issue, it was as high as could be expected. The problem is winning these floaters back again. It was a disaster on that front.

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

    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 care

    Are the usual 18000 the same 18000 each week, or are there a decent percentage who, for whatever reason that's none of anyone else's business, can't or dont want to attend each week?
    Either way, fans can't win. They get criticised by some for not going, then criticised by some when they do.

    The atmosphere from many of the 18,000 has been rubbish for much of the season. A full crowd always helps

    Not making enough noise. Making the wrong kind of noise. Arriving late. Leaving early.

    It was probably the regulars who turned up at 2.55 expecting to go straight to their seat without delay 🙂

    ...and ending up in a queue stretching back to McDonald's. It happened (apparently).

    Derby have always had good attendances at this level, often 30k+ if they're having a decent season.
    this gives them a few million quid a year more to spend, which should start to tell over time (if they were well run).

    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.
    They have bigger crowds because they’re a bigger and more successful team than us.

    yes of course that's all true.
    for the last 20 years they haven't been much better than us though have they?
    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.

    Do agree that was the point of my post, Derby are well relegated, and still get better crowds than us , sadly it takes an emotional derby game , for us to generate over 23k
