Surely , sisu want these type of crowds ? too ?
Think it was their boxing day game . just goes to show they will return with some progress being made.great crowd for that game. How many burton taking ?
We'd never get 42k for a league game even if our ground was big enough. Not auew what the point is, Villa are a vastly bigger side then us, on a good run playing a side who'll likely not play in front of a big crowd like that for a long time and I believe they sold out their allocation. And it was a boxing day game which are crowds are always higher.
We know things are shit, we know sisu are cunts I don't get the comparison with a vastly superior support club is.

Was that the game v Wolves in 67 ?I've got this picture on my wall as I'm in there !
Yes. I was twelve sat behind the goal at the covered end that became the West End. We kept running on after our goals,and at the end of the game. What a day that was 51,000 inside and it was said 20,000 outside.Was that the game v Wolves in 67 ?

Bet that's you going the opposite way to everyone else lolI've got this picture on my wall as I'm in there !
I remember being in several plus 40k crowds at Highfield Road. Too many people quick to write off the potential that this club has.We'd never get 42k for a league game even if our ground was big enough.

The number 6 was a Wolves player, Holsgrove I think.And ask if the gangly No 6 still has his boots?
Gates for some clubs are actually bigger now than they were in the 60s and 70s, Man Utd for one. This club has had so little success over 49 years that it has really only been a hard core who attend. A bit of success and some big games and the Ricoh would sell out with more wanting tickets. We are no different to Leicester in terms of potential fan base and they were talking about extending their stadium from the current 32k.I don't think people write off our potential but I doubt we would ever get crowds that size now. There are just too many distractions. In those days what else was there to do?
I think we could fill the Ricoh regularly if we were in the top division and doing okay.Still can't see regular crowds in the forties, even thirties.

Rally One Two Three and touching up the mannequins in Woolworths.I don't think people write off our potential but I doubt we would ever get crowds that size now. There are just too many distractions. In those days what else was there to do?
