Fuckers are third in my hatred list behind rags & dippers.....still not got over that fucking 81 cup final and the walk back to the train.Wembley is not in the sticks. Arguably easier to access/exit from than N17 which is a fucking mare if anyone’s been. 43k doesn’t sound bad but this is ‘top six spurs’ we’re talking about. 43k is a disgrace for such a ‘big’ club. Even lowly West Ham in their rented shit bowl eclipse that by miles.

Under swales in the late 80s,on the kippax terrace,when thd crowd was announceded there was often open laughter and disbelief by a load of us...as in swales fiddling gates againIt's also worth remembering that under the Swales regime our attendances seemed to have been routinely under reported. My guess would be that we actually averaged over 20k in 87-88.
They look shocking on the face of it but relative to other clubs at the time and considering we spent 4 out of 10 seasons in the 2nd division during the 1980's, our crowds held up really well.
I don't have the exact figures to hand but as far as league games go, out of all the clubs in England we had the 3rd highest "lowest" league crowd during the 80's. Only United and Liverpool bettered us. United got 23k+ vs Wimbledon, and Liverpool 17k+ against someone who I can't remember. Our lowest league crowd that decade was 15k+ vs Reading and Millwall.
For comparison, Everton dropped to around 13k when they wanted Kendall out, Arsenal got 13k for one game in about 1983 when they were something like 3rd in the league, Spurs dropped below 10k at the back end of the 85-86 season, Chelsea dropped below 10k at various points (as they did in the 90's too), and I think Newcastle flirted with going below 5 figures as well. So 3 of the so-called Big Five at the time recorded lower league crowds than City during the 80's, despite being top-flight ever-presents throughout the decade whereas we went through 2 relegations.
Your top three mirrors mine, different order maybe. Y words always say their not bothered by us and their a different league than us but match threads on the fighting cock would say otherwiseFuckers are third in my hatred list behind rags & dippers.....still not got over that fucking 81 cup final and the walk back to the train.
West Ham are a proper club just sadly without decent people in charge.
Just going back to that utd wimbledon game...i ve read a few times that it looked as thp there were under 18k there...season tics were automatically counted...not ununsual of course...but the 18k estimates were from utd fans who were there.
They don’t even register for me.Fuckers are third in my hatred list behind rags & dippers.....still not got over that fucking 81 cup final and the walk back to the train.

That was from the boxing, wasn't it?
It'll look better for the NFL.
As for 29th, anybody's guess.
I think those squares were from the Joshua fight the week before, believe the NFL matches are over the next 3 weekends. By the time of our match is will be be like playing on Hough End
