They had 2 stand shut off for a while didnt they?Must be wrong, no way massive club Birmiingham are averaging 4k less than us!

Birmingham have always been a strange club support wise Villa have always had a high regular support yet Blues same City their support is up and downMust be wrong, no way massive club Birmiingham are averaging 4k less than us!
To be fair I think Dean Court only holds 11k. Though they wasted their time in the PL and should’ve invested the £150million+ a year they were getting in a new stadium. Such a crap place even for the championshipWeren't Bournemouth fans calling us tinpot after our game with them?
Very strange breed. Worked with a few many years ago when they were on the rise and we were on the decline. The way they spoke you'd think they were Real Madrid size but reality is where they sit right now is probably about right.Must be wrong, no way massive club Birmiingham are averaging 4k less than us!

Probably same place some of our fans get delusions from!Always said they're about the same size as us (and a dozen other clubs), I've no idea where they get their delusions of grandeur from.
Parachute payments currently will help, but they've for a long time had significant cash injections from their ownerHow do Bournemouth pay the players wages with the size of their gates

Or any of the teams below us.Even better when you consider none of the teams above us in that last have had any of the issues we've had in the last 20 years.
We do get alot of away fans at the ricoh on average , we could do with a few more coventrians getting onboard really , it's a bloody big city
It's better than it was though I suppose several years ago
And there’s a chance one of their owners Maxim Demin who owns 50% could get named soon as a banned oligarch.
Sunderland will easily be the highest in League 1
It’s not just the City of Derby, though. Being a county team anchors greater support locally, too. The same applies to Leicester - people from Loughborough still consider themselves ‘Leicester‘ by virtue of living in the county of Leicester. By comparison, Coventry’s support may not be that widespread as the city boundaries are tightly knit and it’s not a guarantee that all Warwickshire folk are committed to Coventry.Just checked this after getting home - I'd had a feeling Derby would be high on the list but the fact that they're 3rd despite all the off-field misery is a real tribute to the strength of the support in their city. Fair play to their fans, hope they stay up (and in business) for the sake of the 99% of of their fans who aren't wankers.
Good point, It's quite a big area when you incorporate all those towns like Ilkeston, Ripley etc.It’s not just the City of Derby, though. Being a county team anchors greater support locally, too.

That‘s not to say the support we have from Warwickshire towns isn’t great, it’s just not a given as Coventry isn‘t a hub for a large conurbation in the same way that Derby, Leicester and Nottingham are.

Derby have had a season or two in the PL since moving to Pride Park. Same with the other clubs who have moved to new stadiums.
Coventry City on the other hand haven't, fell to the lowest level and left the stadium twice.
I suspect Derby will still get crowds of 15-20k in League 1.
They were in the Prem the first 5 seasons or so there tbf.
