Mate was saying...

[ourbob]

...before the match last night that if we get 90k fans in the lane over the next 4 matches it will better the filthy porkers in their last promotion season.

....just sayin like.

That was then , this is now .

I'd imagine Chesterfield will be a near/complete sell out so that would leave us 60k give or take a few over 3 games. I can't see us getting less than 20k in the other fixtures despite one being on sky.

It could be on BBC and I think it would still be a near full house on Easter Monday Vs Bradford.

20k v Millwall, near-30k v Chessie (depending on segregation). We'd only need around 21k from the other two to top 90k.

Not that it matters, we are above all that aren't we

You could be right buddy. However I honestly thought last nights attendance would've been bigger than it was

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Pigs got a woodworm turnout for the last home game against Wycombe 35k iirc,if that was in the promo season.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

90,000? I thought the truffle-snufflers got that attendance every home game.

 

[ourbob]

This bbc stuff,tell me more?

 

[stringjunior]

The BBC have no TV rights for League 1. It's nonsense.

I thought it was a decent turn out considering it is close to end of the month, fans shelling out to go to the away game at Oldham as well as shelling out to buy next years season tickets.

Four matches? Are you including the play-off second leg?

 

[elgoog44]

Attendances, should we not leave it to the truffle hunters to be obsessed with that shit?, while we concentrate and enjoy a promotion, So long as we have a good team playing good football, people will come watch how many who cares so long as its a good atmosphere and enjoyed by all.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Just goes to show there's hardly anything between both clubs support. There's was boosted by the 38000 for the Wycombe game as well, which had every pig bringing along their wives, girlfriends, grandma and grandad, who wouldn't and probably haven't set foot in the Swill since. They've always benefitted from a larger capacity which allows one or two one off games each season such as the Wycombe game to artificially inflate their average attendance.

Our support this season has been incredibly consistent, no wild swings to make the figures look better.

Somehow United have managed to grow the fan base despite years of failure and kicks in the teeth. Much as the pigs would like to believe it, it's not down to fans getting in on kids tickets. If some do it's only going to be at the same level as they do at the Swill (assuming they too have automated turnstiles)

Would like to see a small increase in our capacity, perhaps to about 37000, a moderately successful United in the top league would need that, as we've already proved, unlike across the city where it's all assumptions because they believe themselves to be a bigger club than us.

The BBC have no TV rights for League 1. It's nonsense.

I think what Harry's Game was saying is that the game could be on BBC (ie an even wider audience to that of Sky) and we'd still sell out and TV will have no bearing on the attendance as it can usually do.

 

[grafikhaus]

Thought it was just me going mad. Three home games left - Cov., Bradford & Chezzie.

90,000? I thought the truffle-snufflers got that attendance every home game.

So they would have you believe. The last time we averaged 30k+ in a season (2006-07) players like Jags were playing (and still are). The last time the pigs averaged 30k+ (1968), the Blades again averaged 30k+ three years later (1971), Bobby Charlton still had 4 years of his career to come and the World Cup in Mexico was 2 years away.

Just don't tell Mark The Pig Shit Thick Pig From Pitsmoor.

Yeah?

Even more remarkable when you consider the Division was like La Liga when Wednesday went up, while now it's the Pub league.

 

[Hackblade]

We do have very cheap tickets as well at £18.

Ah. I see. It could indeed have meant that.

 

[Balham]

In 2011/12, Wednesday's aggregate attendance was 490,732 at mean of 21,336*. Ours, for comparison, was 430,140 at a mean of 18.702.

This season from 20 home games we have an aggregate attendance of 421,333 at a mean of 21,066. We need to get 69,399 through the door over three games (mean gate of 23,133) to better Wednesday's record in 2011/12.

(*Taking out the 38,082 who crawled out of the woodwork for the Wycombe game drops Wednesday's mean attendance to 20,575. With three games to go, they were on 408,484 so we are comparatively ahead despite not having a derby game to boost the numbers)

[WORKSOPBLADE]

21/27/28k crowds to come means 21.6k average so we'll piss it !!

Extra 2k on top of those in total from last 3 games will mean 500k through the gates in the season

 

[BushBlade]

Great. What do we win?

It's a daft argument to get into because you're always going to end up with egg on your face when then they tell you that Wednesday have averaged 30,000 more times than us.

Which they have.

You will find more fleas on a camel than you will on a dog. It's all relative. Or something like that anyway.

It you read it properly it say's before Tuesdays match,so yes,next 4 matches.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Leave the small minded, wankfest over attendances to the S6 lot.

I for one don't give a shit about the petty stuff they get obsessed about.

cant match wednesday who only get 30k when they charge a tenner

to be fair wednesday had a golden era post war when they got big gates with people flocking back to football
what has to be taken into consideration is classic blades areas , darnall heeley tinsley were bombed and there was a mass migration of the sheffield population to the new areas to the north of the city as parson cross and foxhill were built
this faded after 1953 when for no reason over 2 seasons they fell from 40k to 26k and since then wednesday have only averaged over 30000 3 times since
2 of those seasons 1966 7 and 67 8 were due to world cup win in 66 and hillsborough being in the limelight of our win
the other was 1960,
wednesday have not averaged anywhere near 30 k since the world cup winning bubble burst 50 years ago

[Dkc]

wednesday also had a home game with us six years ago, which must have upped their average
