Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Joe Mawson]

I’d love to see city attack the south stand in the second half. The majority of the atmosphere comes from there so we should use that to our advantage in the second half.

I forgot they sung "Where were you when we were shit". Average attendances when both clubs were in the second division in the early 80s:

83-84 Leeds 15,173 City 26,694
84-85 Leeds 15,504 City 24,220

One team in their city as well.

I think a lot of their fans deserted them in the 80s due to the thuggery at the very heart of that club, plus decline after the glory years plus the terrible effects of Thatcherism and deindustrialisation on that city. They would get big home crowds today if they had a bigger ground, and have always had a comparable away support to city.

If only we all knew this during the game.

Evening fixtures help. Fullish ground helps. Playing football from outer space helps. Win win win last night.

But the state of the back of 326 at half time - dafuq? Looked like Gru’s minions running amok with a box full of glow sticks. Any CB3ers got anything on his?

I'm in that area of the ground but I don't know what this means.

I mentioned in another thread they didn't average over 30k from 2005-2017...in most of those years they averaged around the mid 20k with a low of 21,572 in 2013,so like I've said before they can fuck right off......

Couldn't make it due to work, but sounded great.

Superb stuff.

Just to be clear I like Leeds well enough. I went on their forum this morning and 99% of comments were about how much better we were than them and nothing else.

But yesterday before the game on a non-football Facebook page i'm on, some illiterate moron was going on about how City couldn't sell tickets and Leeds would fill our ground for us. Whilst I find this "we've got more fans than you" stuff incredibly infantile and pathetic for anyone over the age of 13 I couldn't help but to the trouble of comparing attendances. In the last 50 years literally the only time that Leeds had higher attendances than us was the few years before we moved to the Etihad when our capacity was lower than theirs and we were in the lower divisions whilst they challenged for the league. And even then it was marginal.

Even when they last won the league we got higher attendances and we were rubbish. That shut the daft twat up.

Leeds have won three League titles, one FA Cup, and one League Cup in their entire history. They have never had an average attendance for one season above 40,000. Their fans exist in a parallel universe.
For context Wolves have won three league titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and have a highest average crowd of 45,466. Sunderland, Newcastle, and Villa also have historically much higher crowds than Leeds.
