I've no idea of the figures myself and not bothered enough to check, but you can only compare the two clubs when they are both in the same division, all clubs drop fans when in lower divisions across football, so only stick to figures when us and Spurs are in the top flight, that alone tells you anything if anyone really needs to guess who'll come out on top there.
Rubbish, true fans stick with a club through thick and thin.
Our attandances stayed at 33K when we went down.

Under 30'000 in the Premier League by the way.
and that's after football ''boomed''.
16K, how can you use under 30 as a stick? 16K is terrible.
There was a mass boycott i believe (i was only 9 at the time) and there was severe economic difficulties in the north east at that time, unemployment at its highest levels ever (?). Possibly worse post-85.
What was yours that season?
Wasn't it the season that the Leazes roof was taken off and the capacity of that end reduced by two thirds?
That was probably it, i just remember there being some reason beyond the shite football.
What about 91 when your ave attendance was 17K did the building work go on that long?
How come in 1984, when you were winning the UEFA Cup and we were promoted from the 2nd division as 3rd best club do our attendance exceed yours?
Anyway, Post War averages are as follows:
Newcastle: 35,428
Spurs: 25,866
There's fuck all between the two clubs man!
What do you say to that Douglas?Completely false.
Spurs Average 35.8 NUFC average 35.4.
Im just stating facts here when everybody thinks Im on the windup.
Source?
Wikipedia.

Brilliant, in one thread, big it up.
In another thread claim ignorance.
Can't wait for Stevie to come wading in. Hopefully he'll bring WL with him for support.
-
Whereas you got 24k and the average was 19k.
Try again
But we never claimed that we have the best fans in the country and it is such a special place to watch football...etc etc
Whole town blah blah.

21k when finishing 8th in the top division in 88. Was there a boycoutt then too?

Circa 30K, we have never dropped below 20K in our history.
-
The average top flight attendance that season was 24682.
So when you look at it in context 16k isn't all that bad anyway.
Makes a bit of a mockery of all the best fans in the world rubbish though doesnt it?
When the going gets tough and all that.

To be fair footballs popularity has boomed since the inception of the premier league.
If you could keep those figures up after a couple of championship seasons I would be really impressed.
16K BTW

Wow. Strange overreaction.

To be honest Danny it's been in the admin pipeline for ages
Talking of which, I got your PM and I'm going to have to turn you down fella.
Too much on my plate at the moment, what with here and wikipedia.
Maybe next time eh?

Another Toontastic improvement brought to you by Danny B.

If we get something on Sunday, lets not celebrate until we know the other full time results!
Win and we'll be safe.
You support Hull then? Or Sunderland?

Surely West Ham winning 7 of their last nine must be up there.
West Ham, Premier League, 2006-2007
West Ham defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford on the final day of the season to cap one of the most audacious escape acts of all-time.
The Hammers faced one of the most daunting fixture lists as they looked to escape the drop, but their Carlos Tevez inspired side pulled off some of the shock results of the season. Of the last nine games, West Ham won seven of them, including victories against Everton and away at Arsenal.
It came down to the final day and future United player Tevez (pictured) scored the winner at Old Trafford, saving West Ham and condemning Sheffield United to relegation. The fall-out of West Ham's escape act saw them pursued through the courts for fielding ineligible players in the shape of Tevez and Javier Mascherano and ordered to pay Sheffield United millions of pounds in compensation. Despite this ugly end, West Ham's escape should be remembered for the magnificent performances that saw them beat the drop."
Should have probably read the article.

Played one game for us on loan too.
Clown of a man.

"I really thought that I was going to die - incredible feeling of sadness and just how unfair that was."
Maybe it would be unfair if you hadn't just chucked yourself out of a plane.

I would love to know where you got those figures from Stevie.
Derby rarely fall below 25K for home games and are usually nearer the 30K mark
Their gates will be 19-23000 next season I will bet you £500 right now.
They have had pretty stable gates despite being rubbish since dropping out of the prem.
What makes you draw that conclusion?

Fish's first day at work obviously didn't go well.
