"Disappointing" attendances

52,159 for west ham - not bad.

Nickname or not the lasting support of this club does not watch just from the South Stand and a corner of the East Stand.

That’s true for many Blues but there are also let’s of fans in South Stand Level 1 who’ve only seen us win and struggle to get behind us when we are losing.

Probably so - a lot of cheap seats were sold a few years ago and the whole new extension changed the mix considerably. But as you know the true City die hards are all round the ground not just the SS and a bit of the ES as the OPs post seemed to be implying.

I assume that is tickets sold in the way we and many others seem to do it.

So a large number paid to go or had season tickets but did not go or did not get there.

Intelligent journalists should be looking at the reasons this happens to reigning champions as well as clubs lower down the league instead of point scoring against us.

Reading this forum would give them some insight they do not possess - or use.
