    Rumour - Possibly after Izale McLeod

    He's scored a lot of goals in the lower league but I really don't he is that good. He would solve our penalty problem though I'd expect as he has a very good record from the spot.

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    We wouldn't, honestly you wouldn't see any worthwhile attendances unless its a one off or until the promotion/title clincher come around and if we went on a bad run attendances would drop anyway even if we remained near the top. Anyway we're just going round in circles

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    So do we just stop going every time we get a sticky spell, even teams in 1st place go through tough spells at some point in the season. People say if we're near the top and having a good season the fans will turn up, if we're top of the league in December and getting okish attendances of 11-12k...

    The Ashes

    I'm not an expert on cricket but even I know this is a disgrace, we were always likely to lose but we haven't even put up a reasonable resistance. Australia could have made another 600 in there second innings had they wanted and then we come in and our players look like they've never picked a...

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    No but to use it as an example of our incredible support is silly as it is a one off. Our support was still relatively poor 14-16k when we were challenging for the play offs.

    Leeds sold out there allocation so then a few extras decide to go as think it will be a good day. Then the fixture is massively hyped and the bandwagoners and snowball effect takeover. If it was the norm, then surely there would have been 22k Cov fans there the next match and further matches?

    Season Ticket Sales

    Yep, I think they would. Southampton were in an awful position in there first league one season and were still drawing in 20k.

    Well it counts but in the context of the Leeds match its clearly not the norm as the games before and after that were relatively poor despite us still being in the top 6. I think you've completely missed the point tbh, we're not a well supported club for how big our fans think we are.

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    Well you only have to look to the next three home fixtures to see, 9k v Tranmere (13th going into game), 10k v Oldham (10th going into game) and 11k v Yeovil (8th going into game, 1 point off play offs). So whilst it looks like attendances were slowly and gradually creeping up the 15k was a...

    Well I didn't really know how big the away end at the Ricoh was when I said 8k, if its 6k as you say then no I don't think there were 8k. No I'd love the club to be successful, why would I move onto the players? There's enough people telling us how shit our squad is and how we are going to be...

    6k then, still depends on how many were sitting in the home end. Haven't admitted you were wrong yet about the time we were in the top 6 for?

    Depends how many Leeds fans were in the home end but likely yea, Leeds sold out there allocation and then Cov fans just turned up because it would be a good occasion. The Leeds match was early November and attendances just plummeted despite us remaining in the top 6 until new years day.

    Leeds attendance was 28k when Leeds brought about 8k which hyped the fixture up. Other than Leicester none of the other fixture broke 16k as far as I can see. Norwich, Preston and Middlesbrough matches were 15k. Barnsley, Burnley and Cardiff matches were 14.5k. Doncaster match was 12k

    I didn't want to post it but someone asked for it after spouting their lies.

    Yea and when we were near the top for half of the season attendances didn't go up

    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    Here you go So from the first 23 matches we were in the top 6 for 12 of them, and spent most of the rest in the top 10. We challenged for half a season and still had poor crowds with only 15k turning up for the Middlesbrough, Barnsley and Norwich matches in this time (haven't...

    No we wasn't, that is a lie I can screenshot you all the dates we were in the top 6 for if you like

    When Boothroyd had us in the play offs the attendances were nothing special either, around 14-16k other than when Leeds brought about 8k

    You said great city with great fans, which I still find baffling that you can call our fans great. All your posts and comments with regards to the actual club are negative 99% of the time and trying to encourage people to not attend.

    Doesn't read like that, reads like you're saying we have great fans and the reason our attendances are low is because we have a shit club.
