NYCOWL Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This season should put to bed the ridiculous notion that we wouldn't get 30k plus every week in the PL. Great crowds so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two different attendances for the Forest game, it was announced as 26,900 but the Twitter account announced it as 27,350, wonder which one they used, is there anyway to contact them?. Don't think that website is fully up to date yet? Edited October 1, 2016 by ohgoditsjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the team/club/football that was the problem. Nothing wrong with 20k average attendances when the product your watching is crap.

So although it's closer to than somewhere like Leeds or Blackburn, it doesn't really make much difference as it's still an 'all-dayer', by which I mean you get up while your wife and kids are still in bed and get home after they've all gone to bed. There's no doubt that long away days like that with your mates are fun, but any more than 2-3 times a season and it becomes a chore. I am fully aware that Wednesday have good away support and will bring a couple of thousand to the south coast. However that's got to be your longest trip of the season by a good hour at least, hasn't it? Imagine how many might give it a miss if you had that sort of trip another 8-9 times a season. Brighton is 3 hours with a decent run only time takes 4hours is midweek when every bloody motorway these days seems to be reduced to 1 lane at best.

PopePiusX Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 3 hours to Brighton? What are you driving? Light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Its all motorway miles so 3hours is average 80mph on motorway so not even hammering it much. Anyway well done though to any travelling fan today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHA83 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Wish I'd never mentioned travel time. There's too many variables that affect it between the realities of normal Saturday matchday traffic, both on the motorways and in the town/city of the game, and leaving at 3am post zombie apocalypse (which would allow you to average 80mph for 230 miles). Can an I change my original claim to: Brighton average somewhere in the region of 2000-3000 away fans for all games within a 150mile radius? I'll leave it at that. Let's enjoy the game.

Where I live Copthorne w Sussex is 25 mins to Brighton and I travel to Sheffield to most home games and to see my mother-in-law regularly. Done so for over 30 years mostly takes around 3hrs 30 mins at most depending on M25 traffic it's complete bull shine to say anywhere remotely near 5 hrs on normal run.

And the 3.30hrs is to Hillsborough takes me 3 hrs max to junction 31 M1 Worksop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
