Guest Stevie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This was brought to my Attention on F365, Did the war end in 1979 like? Look at Spurs average gate in 1986 eh 20,000 in the top half of the top flight, we would never stoop so low, and the blue dippers 1984, SEVENTH, and they average 19,000, we averaged 11,000 more in Division Two that season!

Guest Stevie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 We've been in the 2nd division for 15 of those seasons, so I'm adding 5,500 (REALISTIC) on so I make it that we should be second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Fair point. Anyway most of Man United's fans from the last ten years are plastic are fuck. If they didn't win anything for ten years they would probably get 40-50k. Same could be said for Liverpool, Arsenal, and latterly Chelsea seem to have picked up a chunk of the middle class population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Tell you what, out of all of them you've got to say fair play to Man Citeh for a steady bedrock of 20k+; and that's with a fair few seasons out of the top flight and with the scum across the road wining everything in sight.

Guest Stevie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Tell you what, out of all of them you've got to say fair play to Man Citeh for a steady bedrock of 20k+; and that's with a fair few seasons out of the top flight and with the scum across the road wining everything in sight. Manchester/Salford is more than big enough for two teams, and they've won more than we have in the last 61 years (including being champions of this country twice). Sunderland's figure is the most impressive in my opinion. One FA Cup win, and fuck all else for more than half a century, yet still over the piece they've been the 10th best supported club. I reckon even if we had a short spell of success like Leeds had in the late 60s early 70s, we'd be second on that list, I'm convinced of it. It's also interesting that Leeds have never averaged over 40,000 in their history. Nearer the true order imo: Averaged over 50,000 Man Utd 21 Newcastle 10 Arsenal 5 Tottenham 4 Everton 1 Liverpool 0 Averaged over 40000 Man Utd 49 Liverpool 33 Everton 21 Newcastle 17 Arsenal 16 Tottenham 16 Chelsea 12 Sunderland 9 Man City 7 Aston Villa 3 Leeds 0 People call Leeds a big club why? They had a brief spell of success in the 1960s and 70s yet fuck all else ever, they clearly have never been fabulously supported, yet people fall over themselves to say we're not a big club yet Leeds are?

Happy Face 29 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 looks similar to the league of post war trophy winners. Unsuprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't knock it. Still think City's is the measure of anyones overall though when you consider who their neighbours are-you really can't under estimate that factor. Manchester/Salford is big enough for two teams, but Salford is almost entirely red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking... although their support has never been one to be called into question. Often gets forgotten but its not that long ago that Citeh were in the third tier of English football and it was for more than one season IIRC.

JawD 31 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Would be a more meaningful table if it showed the league and finishing position in each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 So if Everton and Spurs have been more successful than us post-war, and have had better attendance than us post-war, what criteria are we using when we claim to be "bigger"? Money spunked on over-rated tossers? Replica shirt sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
