Surely Palace can't... 16/17

Sorry but you've lost me.

3000 may be a clue?

Oh I see.

For all the relevance it has on the subject, why didn't he go for 1903 and the 1,500 from his wonderful link?

Burnley's average crowds in 1986 were 3.204.

Burnley's highest average crowds for a season in the last 50 years is a whopping 20.654.

You seemed to find it was funny that a Brighton fan has claimed we're a bigger club.

Any chance you could research what our average crowds have been?

Champions Leicester are skating dangerously close to the bottom 3 also.

Priceless !
I'm trying to work out if you're a big WUM, or genuinely believe this claptrap ?
Having a shiny new stadium doesn't make you a big club, if that's the case, MK Dons are on a par with you.

Yep MK Dons (the 91st most longstanding club ahead of you) have averaged 26k for the last 4 or 5 seasons. Very true that.

I think it's time to let this one lie now, you've all had a stressful weekend - let's have a breather for the 2 week long international break & forget it eh. Here's to an England victory over Scotland lads

It's bizarre. I think a season or 2 in the prem is all that some judge their club by. But hey ho all opinions - I'm cringing at the Burnley fans response though - shame as he's a decent poster usually...

I was going to put money on them going down. Wish I had now.

Let's not get distracted by the Palace fans, this is a thread to celebrate their ineptitude

Oh, it's because you get bigger crowds than Burnley and Palace ?
There's me thinking it was about history and league placings over the years ?
My apologies .

He is a decent poster, however we all view our own club through a filter don't we?

Well you certainly have outperformed us over the six, yes SIX years of your existence. Must be hard to have virtually no history.

Wanderers Football Club won the FA cup 5 times.

What's your point?

So you're measuring size of club on attendances and historical attendances, alright then.

What happened just 18 years ago? http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn.htm

Or do you think that it's pretty silly to pick out a season when a club is at its lowest ebb?

Our other 2 clubs outperformed you as well

A club with no history over the last 50 years and pathetic lower league attendances, shows the true size of a club IMO. Did you know that when we played in the bottom tier of English football, we managed an average crowd of 17.907?

Does Newcastle's current average crowds in the Championship suggest what a big club they really are? or do you now believe Burnley are bigger than them too?

.

Abit of both , but I admit it's a very thin line between the two .

 

[Dougie]

Can we just stick to the thread title on how shit palace are rather than sidetrack it with attendance drivel , ta .

Had there been a level playing field over the past twenty years, then I suspect that may have been different. I will, give you credit on your last promotion, you were pretty dreadful for half that season but you somehow came through. Can you answer this question though? Why did your average attendance go up about 10000 when you were promoted? I'm particularly interested in your answer as many of your fans highlight our increased attendances at the Amex and accuse our fans of being plastic. Given that over 20000 Brighton fans were registered at Withdean, it is no surprise that we have many season ticket holders, which make up most of our attendance. Given that we are now in our 6th season at the Amex and our crowds are obviously here to stay (first season syndrome lol), why is your club unable to attract the missing ten thousand when you are not in the top flight?

1965 that was. So you're using 50 years as a cut off point for Burnley but not Brighton, great stuff.

Your argument is silly.

No history over the last 50 years? Stroll on me old china.
