So, to say crowds under Vicent Tan have risen would not be wrong (I know for a fact that the 18/19 average attendance figure is higher than in any season since I saw my first home game in 63/64). However, a few thingsa need to be pointed out I feel.

For example, the crowd for the Millwall game was less than half of what we avaraged in 18/19 and I'd guess there's every chance it will be the same again tomorrow - the QPR crowd was just over 50 per cent of the 18/19 average. Our average league attendance this season is 18,876 which is very slightly below 60 per cent of the 18/19 figure.

In the last season before Vinvent Tan took over the ownership of the clun (09/10), City's average home league attendance was 19,413. Therefore, we now find ourselves in a position where the current team is much worse than the one Vincent Tan inherited and crowds are slightly smaller than they were when he took over, so Baloo is not wrong in saying that it's not as simple as a blanket statement saying crowds are up under vincent Tan even if it is accurate to say that crowds have, at times, been as high under this ownership as they've been since, at least, the 1950s.[/QUOTE

I’ve just posted the historical attendance numbers- it’s as clear as ever
But I’m not wrong when I say we have a worse team and, for now, are getting lower crowds under Tan than we were getting just before he took over. That probably will change with a couple of games during the holiday period coming up and then a visit from the jacks early in the New Year as well as a game with the wurzels to come, so I think the 24/25 average home gate could well end up slightly bigger than the 18/19 one.
