You can check attendances from the 1890's to yesterday. It appears that their average is a little under 2000 more than ours. If you take out their halcyon years in the late 40's/early 50's and ( ours too at the same time ) it comes down to just over 1600. An aged Blade always told me if we'd had had half what the Pigs had our attendances would be well clear of theirs.
Half of what Mahatma? Delusion to the ability to tell Porkies?
