Not one bit, given all Town fans are fully aware of the size of our support/fan base. We are a Town of approx 140,000 people and therefore our attendances stack up very well Take Sheffield, 600,000 population and a two team City. That gives you a damn sight more folk to go at yet your average attendance this season was only 7000 more than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Steve Bruce said something like "I don't know what it was that they were singing but it was deafening." Or something like that. You've only got to watch the game back to listen to it and to the commentators saying how tremendous our support was time and time again. Just another case of a gimp on the internet making something up to suit his own agenda. Or to put it another way, complete bolllocks. I think the band (or the drum at least) helped massively. We all seemed to be singing the same song, because we all knew we what everyone was signing cos of the band. Wembley is so you could have 3 or 4 different chants going at the same time, that's why its a bobbar atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost a tight game 1-0 thanks to a moment of brilliance from Diame Crumbling would be losing 5-1, like Huddersfield did against man city in the cup earlier this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only put it down to Sunday 12pm kick off and being on Sky We had more fans turn out for our play off semi final in League Two against Lincoln. Maybe they're more attractive for the fair weather fan to watch than Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're having a season in the sun where your support has grown. Good luck you you but Do not compare like for like over one season (where we're still above you), cast your net a bit wider and see the results over a long period ...

Try being a Town fan for the last 45 years and then talk to me about total bobbar.
