They certainly wouldn't take 4000 to PNE or 6000 to Walsall

They got 6/7000 at home in their League 1 days. They've never been a successful, high profile club so you wouldn't expect them to have had a big following to be fair.

Great times for those fans who have stayed with them. though.

You’ve got to be joking haha

City have always been one of the top supported clubs in the country. Brentford’s crowds have mostly been smaller than Oldhams!

Is this city fans telling another club that “they’ve got no history” or asking where they were when they were shit? I’d always hoped we were a bit better than that.
Brentford have an average crowd, since they started, of over 9,500 compared to Oldham’s average of 8,700. Oldhams population, at about 100,000, is almost 4 times that of Brentford. In fact, in 1965, we managed an average crowd of 14000 in division 2 (which was 10000 less than when we were in division 1 two seasons before) which was only about 3000 more than Brentford had in division 3.
 
just watched the highlights on sky youtube. Neville said the ball ‘picked up pace’ when the striker on the second goal headed it into the ground. i think he skipped science class.

Exactly,you don’t begrudge loyal fans a bit of success and anyone who had followed Brentford for a while deserves to see their team succeed. I’ve been a city fan for fifty plus years and have to endure piss take and ridicule from plastic fans and now I appreciate our success as it’s even sweeter
 
I'm going out on a limb here and know I'll get some abuse but the more I see that 3rd goal the more I think it's a foul. Hilarious nonetheless but he definitely moves his arm into his back.

You’ve got it all wrong. In fact, you’re trying too hard to be contrarian, especially by comparing a years crowd to Brentford’s from 1965 (really weird).

City are one of the biggest supported sides in the country and always have been. Of course you can pull out random lower crowds, as you can with any club.

The point was that it doesn’t really make sense to compare our support to Brentford in anyway shape or form. Nothing against Brentford, of course, they’re doing great and it’s very nice to see. It’s just that it wreaks a bit of City fans bowing down to the history boys of being an overachieving small club with no big fan base.
