8,700....really ? (18 Viewers)

if that is so it's very disappointing indeed, but I honestly thought there looked a few more than that. I was down the front of the East stand and it's difficult to see how many were in our stand from my vantage point but the north stand looked a little healthier than usual .

Only if you keep posting negatively and don't get behind the team!

what should we all chant then once we're 3-1 down with absolutely not one second half opportunity ?

hmm. So, despite travel overseas to get to the game today if i post a comment on here less people will go ?. Interesting

He's done a runner again. Pulled the pin out and gone !

All your fault. Nothing to do with the horseshit on the pitch. Shame on you ccfcway.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Not many of them today

 

[Gint11]

No 8k was about right. For me the ground looked empty. Disappointing after 2 victories but it's still early days and it's going to take more to lure fans back. In saying that. 2 of my mates came back today and 2nd half performance has not given them the feel to come back

I'll be there as normal but those that walked out will be probably be doing something else.

Aren't all the missing thousands of fans simply just turning up at our sparkling, spanking, brand new stadium?

Loads of free tickets apparently

Peterborough who are in the play offs got 6,600 today at home !

The decline has taken 20 years, reengagement is not going to happen overnight.

Would it make a difference if we changed to cow?

Where did you get "20 years from?

What's the population of Peterborough? How large is their fanbase historically?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We have been in the FL for 14 of them, less sure about the other 6.

What has that got to do with the size of the crowd? what were the crowds like 10 years or even 7 years ago?

isnt it about 170,000 ?

by that reckoning (if you times by 2 for the cov population) ,do you think we would get less than 12,000 if we were in play offs ?

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

Where did you get "20 years from?

Exactly what I was thinking mate. The decline in support started approx 7 years ago.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My guess is that's what he means by decline, although I'd say it's only in the last few years that crowds have shown real decline rather than hovering around a steady figure. Allowing for the new ground factor when we moved to the Ricoh it was always pretty constant.

 

[Samo]

OK 30 then, is that better?

Probably

Why,is that because you don't like the obvious answer?

 

[Macca]

Given the amount of people at the Gillingham and Crewe and Chelsea games and the population of Coventry, we should get far more........and so on

We should do but I preferred spending yesterday watching my eldest lad play,the football is dire up there and let's be fair even with a big crowd they hardly act as the twelfth man, the Gillingham game was meant to be the big return but we scraped it in the end.
I took my lads up before Christmas and the game was awful and at half time NO HOTDOGS !!! Hardly anyone there so the mice must have ate em all !

Fucking hell...

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Fucking hell...

We were the better side that day but not by much. Two poor teams in a poor division. One being slightly less poor than the other.

I used to support leicester but stopped as they had no burgers left one game. Couldn't get over it.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Population of an area is a very poor way to gauge support.

Using that theory Leeds United are one of the worst supported clubs in the country.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Probably

Last time we mounted a promotion challenge in this division crowds went up by 16k, what is there to suggest that wouldn't happen again?

 

[skybluebeduff]

The fans are not coming back, why do people presume differently? SISU are still here, most stay away fans stay away due to SISU. It won't change.

 

[Sick Boy]

I remember that we got a crowd of around 9K for a first game of the season at HR in the mid-90's.

 

[Sick Boy]

Our crowds were poor until we moved to the Ricoh and then we saw over 20k being the average.

It's hilarious that the fundamentalists will label me as a sisu lover for pointing this out. Morons.
