Guess the attendance

[toonfalifekevbrown]

How many will be at the game today
I will go for 40.000

[Zippity]

Too many, whatever the number.

Watford won't bring many but a fair few from the Arsenal 'boycott' will return. About 46,000, I reckon.

[TheOtherTerryMac]

44’000 there today hopefully a lot more fans will see sense and it will drop into the thirties soon

[toonfalifekevbrown]

44157 today's

[Geordie1974]

Bruce doesnt help himself does he.Says the fans will be back if we win a few games.No Steve,we wont.Its not about results,its not against you,its not against the players.Its against one man,Ashley.When he is gone then fans will be back.

[TheOtherTerryMac]

It includes season ticket but who have not attended

Yeah they could all season tickets in every attendance which is a nice way to defraud the numbers.

What to you think the 'critical mass' number will be; the attendance figure the where the majority of the fanbase number of fans which turn their back due to the stadium being devoid of atmosphere because all those passionate fans have left?

It is already apparent from the Watford match that a lot of the more vocal passionate fans have already left.

With or without the fans in the stadium TV money comes in, do you think regular attendances of 20-25k will convince the current owner to leave?

Some how I don't think so.

It's a travesty!

I think it will make a difference to whether he stays or goes. I understand that FCB can plough on and ignore the low attendance and still get his TV money but it´s all about putting him more and more in a negative light and trying to make that straw that breaks the camel´s back. If he was going great guns in all of his other businesses then low crowds would have a lot less/no effect. But he isn´t and the message that Ashley is a complete c**t is spreading further and wider every day. That is not good for him or any of his businesses.
The funny thing is, if he had kept Rafa and spent what he spent this window, Newcastle could´ve been a great way to divert the business world´s attention away from his other business woes. He´s completely missed the boat on that one and shown that he isn´t as smart in business as many thought (including me) - instead, his incompetent managing of the football side of things at this club (an annual re-occurence) has piled more bad publicity and pressure onto him and his business empire.

I congratulate each and every one of you who has stopped going, whether this season or before. You are the supporters who truely love the club and you may well be able to look back in a few years and say that it was you that helped save it from Ashley.
