Another way to look at it is in my living memory, Blues have never been a regular top flight team (whereas we were for a large chunk), yet they still have an average crowd above us.

They have a higher historic average because they have had Prem stints when football has been massive in the past 20 years.

People forget that large parts of our top flight era was when football was watched by a smattering of fans across the country in the 80s.

Like i say, its just another way of looking at it.

There's a lot of excuses thrown about when it comes to us and attendances (some valid, some not), but the fact is they're historically (very slightly) better supported than us, so i think pointing fingers at them for lack of support is a bit harsh.

Also heroes like O'Day and others, castigating their entire fanbase for the actions of their firm, is the sort of stuff we moan about the likes of Sunderland...... yeah they've got a higher than average proportion of total bellends in their support, and i'm incidentally no fan of them whatsoever, but it clearly isn't their entire support.
