Makes sense. I tried to book a pair of tickets for the hull game over a week ago and there were literally 10 tickets left in the whole stadium. Get yourself on the waiting list mate, I do it all the time and often get a call on the Thu-Fri when they get returns..... Cheers may well do that

You know what those stats tell me? We haven't got a big enough stadium and have missed a massive trick not developing earlier. What a surprise. Quite possibly true considering that 5 years ago there was the danger of a fall in s/t then the bigger model we're following seems to be working fine. A tad of caution and sustainability with bold decisions too. To say nothing of our a average home attendances of 8,500 throughout the whole 1980s at The Vic. The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days 90% of crowds up and down the land were shite in the 80's though. Not a great time to be a football fan for various reasons. We certainly weren't unique, add the fact that we were absolute dog shit as well not hard to understand why....

The Shit averaged close to 45,000 during this period whilst Liverpool was approx 37,000. During the 1980s most Division One Clubs averaged over 20,000 Our attendances jumped up in the early 1990s when Lou became manager (almost doubling) from under 10,000 to about 16,500

That same season West Ham, Sunderland, Villa, Leeds Utd, West Brom, Sheff Utd all averaged between 12,000-18,000 with the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Newcastle all averaging between 23,000-26,000. The numbers remained similar over the next few seasons for most of the clubs above whilst we were in the doldrums averaging 8,000-9,000. Different times......

7 from the Premier League and 3 from the Bundesliga. Interesting. I can understand Bayern selling out and Freiburg only have a small ground, but Koln surprises me. They are a very average side, have only won 1 of their last 6, and must play some rubbish matches against the bottom teams. So how come they sell out with nearly 50,000? Can anyone with knowledge of German football explain? Koln are traditionally one of the bigger clubs, up until the early 90's they were right up there with Bayern in terms of points won in the Bundesliga but without really turning that into as many titles as they should have, they were runners up 5 times while winning it twice. They've come something of a yo yo club since then, managing to get relegated a couple of times despite having a 20 goal a season striker. This could be their best season in well over 20 years, especially if they can sneak in to Europe.

And the lowest gate during the Holocaust Season was just over 4,500 against Norwich. Under 7,000 against West Brom. Just over 7,000 against Newcastle. Under 9,000 against Chelsea. But we did beat The Shit Boxing Day in front of 21,000

Can anyone with knowledge of German football explain? People from Cologne seem to be particularly proud of their city in general and it shows in things like the local carnival, rivalry with Dusseldorf, loyalty to the local beer, and the football team. leverkusen is their rival just up the road

The nadir of low attendances post Heysel ( or maybe it was because Stoke were no longer in top flight) saw a sharp dip.

They haven't been tempted in by the mega money, which is a start. They value their supporters and they value their youth system. That's 3-0 before you start!
