Nigel's crowd

[sir albion]

Yeah had a look and to be this time of the season is low,still some very low crowds.

Leicester 18k
Hull 15k
Derby 20k
Barnsley 8k
etc etc etc

It's getting to expensive still

 

[Simster]

I agree with [MENTION=5729]sir albion[/MENTION]. Ultimately, football is too expensive for what it is. People forget that we have 23,000 season ticket holders because we have a fantastic new stadium and an affordable payment method - it isn't entirely down to what is happening on the pitch.

On another note, funny how the "loyalist fans in the country" at Portsmouth are really rallying round their club. 5,000 off the opening day gate for today's match against Oldham. 12,500 is alright in that league of course, but it was only 4 years ago when some twat was on here to tell us they needed a stadium to seat over 40,000. Small time gimps.

Price of football killing football at the top level!

Poor old palace although the twats won

They did us a favour we must thank them

To be fair we got 25k at home and yet we only took 477 to Burnley. That's very poor.

Not enough southern aways for us this season. Our away following up north is going to be poor all season (until the end, if we're still challenging).

Actually, that should act as a wake up call to anyone who laughably thinks this club is the size of Leeds or Sheff Wed or even Wolves (and there were one or two last week). These clubs have relatively large dormant support all over the country and will consequently take a lot of fans to pretty much any away match.

Do you think pride had a bearing on our away attendance today ?

Personally, I would have preferred a draw.

 

[Simster]

Yep, and the cricket. Maybe would have been nearer 6-700.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that Burnley have given the pre-sold tickets figure , those who paid on the gate (and the Charlie Oatway comps) were included in the total attendance figure to boost the home numbers.

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

palace will be crawleys feeder club in a couple of seasons.

Yahahaha nailed it.

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

Oh dear oh dear. Crystal Palace crowd is equally as spurious as that dodgy penalty that lead to them going ahead. That was a fine challenge. Disgusting.

spot on with that! far too many people i know think we're huge and have the best support going - 477 is poor to be honest! even middlesborough took 7-800 to millwall today for a 12.45 k.o. with the loss of soton,pompy,reading and west ham i'd imagine our away support will end up being 5th-10th this season.still good but not on same level as sheff wed/leeds

Are we seriously going to have a thread about Palace's home attendance EVERY week again?

Surely we might as well just wait till the end of the season and then just post the difference between the averages and totals!

 

[pauldcpfc]

Definitely less than 10k with the no shows. When we play Wednesday on the 14th the crowd is expected to be over 26,000 and may even nudge past 27,000

Still waiting for your reply on that charity bet... bottlejob.

As for less than 10000, there was just over 14000 in actual attendance yesterday. Source: Senior Steward.

 

[pauldcpfc]

Millwall - 9576
Barnsley - 8088
Brum - 14929
Burnley - 11433
Derby - 20993 (way down on last year)
Hull - 15500
Ipswich - 16800 (down on last year)

You've got big crowds because you've got a new shiny toy to watch games in.

Attendances don't win the league.

 

[tiberious]

no we have the crowds because we have room for them. I have supported Albion for years both home an daway. When i started we would get 30 k at the Goldstone and beat Palace . I then got married had Kids and had different priorities. I still followed the Albion but could not go due to financisl reasons. ( apparently you have to feed and clothe our chldren) As I now no longer work shifts and the kids have left home I can now go again. Since I have had my season ticket I have seen most of the old B***ers I used to go with at the Ground. Its nothing to do with the ground. On a positive note all 3 of my boys are also Albion fans by choice and not because I forced them. However when they were younger and naughty I did threaten to take them to a Palace game.

Probably. If you don't like it then don't open the thread.
