Yesterday, at home to WBA (who would have sold their allocation)... 33,000.
If we got that for a home league game, then the alarmn bells WOULD be ringing!
Stop beating ourself up about nothing.
Our stadium holds 8,000 more than Everton's.
I must be missing something here, but... what has that got to do with anything?
Yeah a basic grasp of logic and maths...
It's about how many seats you fill, not how many are empty!
We got 7000 less (on a rainy Thursday against a Danish team that we were obviously going to turn over without too much effort... when no season tickets are sold) than Everton did for a fine Saturday against a well supported PL team when all season tickets attend... Irrelevant what your capacity is unless you exceed it every week, then you need a bigger stadium!
In the Nineties we averaged around 27,000 for our league games, including 6 seasons in the premier league, and 2 5th place finnishes. 26,000 in the last 32 of the UEFA cup, mid week, when the game is on normal TV, and during this economic down turn, is not embarrassing.
I am just trying to put things into perspective.

Yeah, and I think you lack a basic grasp of reading and comprehension!
You just repeated what I said!
Doh!
