Your reasoning is the same as Nick's. A thousand pounds 50 years ago is probably the same value now as £1m or even more. A "Mars Bar 40 years ago cost about sixpence(For those that don't know) sixpence is the equivalent of two and a half pence today... You see if you can get one today for much...

Was it? you tell me?

I'll tell you what it tells me Grenduffy... Owners wanted the very best football at their Clubs and were willing to go into debt to get it. It wasn't a business thing as such, more a Prestige sort of thing.

To get an average gate of 26k there has to be gates in excess of 33k-36k does there not?

I've always said, if a Football Club wants success, it has to stem from within the Club(Owners and Management) I'll ask all of you a question... Do you want to see CCFC play Football in the Premier League? If the answer is yes, then let's turn back the clock 50 years and get in decent owners...

It took 3-4 seasons after JH came in before we saw any sort of success. IIRC we were getting great crowds(At least, a lot better than today's) Surely that tells you something? 33k-36k was not out of the ordinary... and that was Division 3 football.

Seriously hope you're not talking about me mate! The times I've gone out of my way and researched for some lazy fucks is unbelieveable.

Genuinely don't know, who?

Who are you talking about then Moff?

Or back it up it seems?

Very good hahaha. 1-0 to you.

That could have something to do with CCFC have never played in a European Cup match................... It was the Inter-cities Cup 70-71 ;)

Imagine playing 2 tiers lower than Division 2 at better grounds than Northampton if we had stayed there. *Shivers*

My Grandad played for both Burnley and Accrington. Two teams I follow after CCFC :)

Very true, forgot about them.

I would imagine it goes something like this.... Wigan Burton Millwall Bradford Walsall P'borough Sheff Utd CCFC............... I would also think Blackpool would be way down at the bottom of that list. I don't know for sure just the same as every other wannabe Statto. but think it might be...

So would it be fair to say that the teams with the higher budgets finished above CCFC?

From the way the oystons work, I'd say you were way out.

Going on the way you both don't know for certain, how about Walsall, Barnsley, and Bradford eh?

So Nick and stupot07.... What you're really saying is.... you haven't got a jar of glue;)
