Being as I have time on my hands and I am a bit of a numbers freak (you've probably noticed) I thought I would dream of what may be.
Assuming we had got promoted last season instead of Norwich realisticly what sort of crowds could we have expected in the Premiership next season.
Rather than just stab at a figure I have assessed each away club, the potential away support and the probable CCFC fan base.
Assumptions
Capacity of 31,000 (lose 500 for elf'n'safety reasons)
Maximum of 6,000 away supporters
Forecast (descending order)
Man U /Home Fans 25,000 / Away Fans 6,000 / Total 31,000
A Villa /24,000/6,000/30,000
Arsenal /24,000/5,000/29,000
Liverpool /23,000/6,000/29,000
Chelsea /24,000/4,000/28,000
Man C /23,000/5,000/28,000
Newcastle /22,000/6,000/28,000
WBA /23,000/5,000/28,000
Wolves /23,000/5,000/28,000
Spurs /23,000/4,000/27,000
Everton /23,000/3,000/26,000
Blackburn /23,000/2,000/25,000
Bolton /23,000/2,000/25,000
Stoke City /21,000/4,000/25,000
Fulham /22,000/2,000/24,000
Sunderland /20,000/4,000/24,000
Swansea /20,000/3,000/23,000
QPR /20,000/2,000/22,000
Wigan /20,000/2,000/22,000
From the above 19 home games the average gate would be: 26,400
Average home fans 22,400
Average away fans: 4,000
There you have it then more useless info to digest you may say but nevertheless I don't think it is too far away do you.
Incidently affix an "average" ticket price of say £28 per game and the gate receipts would be in excess of £14M !!!
