Our attendances now in line with the Premier League. 15th best supported club in the country
Why would any sensible person go down this route? Wouldn’t you just sell it yourself for £20-30?£10 voucher for adult £9 for concession in non family zone blocks, no idea what you get for FZ tickets
I'm visiting my parents over Christmas and my dad's health isn't too good so wanted to enjoy it with him whilst I canWhat reason?
Mad reply.At least 6 times in the last year
I’ve never understood why we belittle our own fanbase so much. No other club does it.
It’s really weird
We will need a second tier building on when in the premier league. We need a capacity of 40/45k. Always said 32k was not big enough for a one club city the size of Coventry. The game is so much bigger these days.
Mad reply.
We've sold out a load the last three seasons, thats great. We will continue to sell out this season, thats great.
But I was replying to someone saying the have ALWAYS said 32k is not big enough. This post:
Yes me saying 6 times was clearly an exaggeration but when for most of the last 20 years our average attendance each season has been below 20k, with a good few of those being below 10k. Pointing that out isn't belittling our fan base, it's belittling revisionist views.
Also "No other club does it.". We're not special, every club has fans who think they're the
biggest team on earth and others who think about it a little more.
Exactly especially at the CBS.How many times was it below 10k?
Home attendances 2014/15. Easy to forget how shocking they were. I have video of some of the matches and the places looks empty.
Edit: The following season was much healthier. Lots of 11 and 12s. A couple of 15s and 17K against Port Vale.

We haven't gone to the right that much yet have we?
But that was due to the turnmoil caused by those dreadful owners.League attendance that season was 9,998 when you exclude the Northampton games
This is our 3rd boxing day home game on the trot. Before that from 2011 Bristol City we only played 2 home games on Boxing Day in Coventry up to 2023. Port Vale 2015 and Charlton 2018Is it me or do we always seem to be at home on Boxing Day - Other than the Sheff United game where O'Hare got crocked I can't recall many Boxing Day away games in years gone by
I stand mistaken, I do try and block out some of those L1 L2 games... I seem to remember going to Doncaster on Boxing Day one year and going down to 9 men (James Maddison being one of the players to be sent off)This is our 3rd boxing day home game on the trot.

We also had Peterborough at home in Northampton and Stoke at St Andrews although that was in an empty stadium due to CovidI stand mistaken, I do try and block out some of those L1 L2 games...

2019 and 2021 we didn't play due to Bury going to the wall and a Covid break out in the squad
What a day that was, a week after beating Liverpool 5-1 too!The GOAT Boxing day:
I remember that Posh game actually it was a bit of a basketball game - I suppose if you ever want an indicator as to how far this club has come and how bad things got, we once played a home match in another City a 90 mile round trip away and Peterborough United outnumbered our home supportWe also had Peterborough at home in Northampton and Stoke at St Andrews although that was in an empty stadium due to Covid
And the fog descended again almost as soon as the final whistle was blownI was on the Kop that day - think it was a midday start and you couldn't see the West Terrace five minutes before kick-off due to fog. Miraculously lifted in time!
Yes I was the same. I was in the Sky Blue Terrace for the Liverpool game. Can't believe it's 33 years ago, where has that goneI was on the Kop that day - think it was a midday start and you couldn't see the West Terrace five minutes before kick-off due to fog. Miraculously lifted in time!
Wow. Second best supported club in the West Mids, and if we had a slightly higher capacity might overtake Forest for the whole Midlands apart from the Villa. Back to where we were at the end of the 60s. In the late 60s, we were better supported than the Villa, They were pretty shit though on their way to Div 3.Our attendances now in line with the Premier League. 15th best supported club in the country

Remember those we are a small club threads from our own supporters.
I dont understand how Forests average attendance is as high as it is. If Google.is to be believed their ground capacity it 30,445 and their average attendance according to this is 30,343. So their average attendance is only 11 lower than the grounds entire capacity. Either theyre fudging figures, or they have zero segregation for away fans?Wow.

Yeah, but 11 difference? Thats not even 1 line of seats separating away fans on one side? Is it like Fulham with a mixed away/home end?They have almost no segregation.
If we get promoted, it's what we will do and will likely see crowds around 32,000.
I remember going to Spurs away on New Year’s Day one year when I was a child and there was only a line of stewards between home and away fans.Yeah, but 11 difference? Thats not even 1 line of seats separating away fans on one side? Is it like Fulham with a mixed away/home end?
