Attendances again - drives me mad

[WhitbyOwl]

This topic keeps appearing, it's latest form has risen on pig mad re the Forrest game attendance. Both sets of fans are as bad as each other though, it's an obsession which is embarrassing.

To clarify united get good attendances for a top ten team in its 4th season in division 3. Wednesday get good attendances for a regular lower half championship team.

To be fair I would have thought there would have been more yesterday bear in mind our current position. That's TV for you though.

If both teams were in the same division with equal success they would be hitting the same attendance figures give or take a couple of hundred either way.

You have to take in to account the cost of attending matches, TV and people working weekends nowadays.

Frankly both teams could manage comfortably with a shared 25k stadium. In fact I wish they would do this, joint costs, better facilities, long term security for both clubs. A nearly always full 25k stadium is better than a half full 40k stadium.

Just seen the thread on owlsmad2 - oh dear.

They do they know we get the higher gates and have done for a number of years?

Category A game, not a bad attendance and a good turn out from Forest.

I think they are still hurt from us getting bigger home and away attendances when we were both on a level playing field...even though they sat above us for the majority of it - until they bottled it and Evans decided to take the law into his own hands of course.

A thread highlighting the absurdity of 'attendance banter' (which I agree with) and Rov comes out with this.


You couldn't make it up.

Just highlighting my opinion on the attendance debate and how stupid some of the comments are in that thread.

Would have done so in the actual thread, but like so many, the dictatorship of owlsmad2 don't approve of Wednesday fans challenging their posts...
