I remember going to watch England at St James Park many years ago. Checking in at the hotel and the people in front of me in the queue were told that the room they’d booked was in the Travelodge (or other chain hotel, I can’t recall) in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the hotel was full.
Went to a wedding in Cornwall a few years ago. The brides mum and auntie had made an appointment at the hairdresser for Saturday morning. Unfortunately, it was in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.
A few Years ago I was working in Hull on the Friday that we played em on the Saturday, booked the Hull Travelodge for the Friday night, unfortunately it was in Hull,
The mini bus ride was better then the whole weekend.Stadium of Light, you gotta be joking. Dull soulless vamped up hockey stadium with more empty seats than The Sty.
I have to laugh at this empty seats lark. They averaged 12k more than us last season in a division below. 41k v 29k. If we end up stagnating in championship or worse history tells us we will have more empty seats than lot of em so we need not to be falling in to the trap of attendance delusion
Exactly that !! We need to stop it sharpish
I think for visiting fans both of the Sheffield football grounds offer a traditional stadium experience.
First thing 41K against 30K. Sunderland have historically been one of the great clubs winning the league 6 times, that's 6 times more than us. Start looking then at their catchment area, similar to the Bar Codes. No major clubs within 100+ miles. Always had massive support because of this. but like the BarCodes they were averaging less than 20K in the 1980's and 90's. Even Mackems admit that the stated attendance figures are in most cases nowhere near the actual attendances, just check it out in their televised games. Don't know where the delusion comes from, didn't mention the Blades, you did.
They’re a far bigger club far bigger support far bigger stadium. And don’t get on about them averaging less than 20k in 80s n 90s we’ve done far worse and not so long ago all this premier league support we’ve picked up over the last few years might be tested in the next few years. I agree there’s not been 41k at Sunderland every week. I can also confirm there’s not been 29k at lane every home game either
Deane and Agana did both indeed score hat tricks. Final score though was 6-1.
Don't you understand that with their history they should be getting that support. Our average last season was over 30K in a 32K stadium. Of course we've had crap support but if you don't win the league since queen Victoria was on the throne and no major honour for 100 years and no Cup Final appearance in 90 then what do you expect. Are you sure you're really a Blade if so go on SAFC Forums and ask them. Season tickets go like hot cakes but very rarely do actual crowds hit anywhere near 40K. And something to cheer you up, The Pigs average 1900 more per game than us at home since 1898.
6 * 1 = 6. 6 - 1 = 5. If they've won it 6 times and we've won it once then they have won it 6 times more than us.
Yes but they have also won it 5 times more than us. English language is quirky like that.
TBF I'd love that. Pinchyism's on every stand.
Your saying there crowds very rarely hit anywhere near 41k. But ignoring the fact ours don’t get near 30k really. There were 6-7 games last season any fucker in that ground could see there were empty seats galore. And rightly so for the shit we were asked to watch week in week out. Similar story at Sunderland just
Burnley also has a large catchment area. I suspect many Yorkshiremen will support Burnley.
