just visiting Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm not taking the one year in isolation mate..its a longer term...I said on reaching the Premiership..and still 6k is nowt to laugh at...30k is not big enough for Hillsborough in current footballing trends....like I said its a different ball game these days...you can rocket back to the 30's and 40's if it suits the argument.... Wednesday at home to Man U..Man City...even your lot back in in the Prem...the ground would not be big enough as it is... but you've already been in the PL when crowds were growing, in 1999/2000 most grounds were over 90% full. Also do you think Man U and Man C every week? for every Liverpool there's a Hull or Swansea. Do you think you'll get huge walk up numbers for them?

All dependant on how the respective teams were doing...Hull bring as many as you lot have at times... Leeds have had seasons where they only averaged around 21000 in the top division...

I don't really expect you to understand the vagaries mate..Leeds isn't a football city...theres more watch football in Sheffield in the lower tier than trot to Elland Rd when you're running for the Champs league.. My point is...Hillsborough needs to stay at a 40'000 capacity..cos if it isn't it doesn't cater for A Wednesday side winning stuff and competing with the best...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Man U Liverpool Everton Newcastle Leeds Chelsea Arsenal Spurs Middlesbrough Aston Villa Sunderland all of them between 92-93 and 96-97? Some of those teams are always top in attendances and no one would claim we are bigger than them also our average was pretty high in the last season before PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those teams are always top in attendances and no one would claim we are bigger than them also our average was pretty high in the last season before PL It was, 29,560. That stands as your highest for the past 45 years. Like a previous poster pointed out though, whilst other fans embraced the dawn of the PL and crowds grew, yours went the other way and average attendances dropped by over 4k despite succeses you had.
