Chansiri must be convinced his prices are correct and the data would back it up. These are my thoughts exactly. I keep reading how he’s pricing fans out yet the gate stats show he’s getting more in than any other post premier time. It hardly makes an argument for lowering prices. Next season may, but our fans are fickle. If we’re going well in L1 or even keep this form up in championship they’ll be back in droves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the average attendance overall is decent. It’s crazy given our league position, prices and the football we played in early season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimJunk Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It is strange how we take more away now, than the late 90's and most home games. I gave my season ticket away for the Stoke game and the bloke who had it said; "How the hell do you watch that rubbish every week." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Would be an easy 30k+ if we were in the same position as Ipswich, Leicester and Leeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aingarth Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 These are quite amazing figures. If you look at some of the league attendances when we were in the old Division 1, such as the mid to late 1980s, the season average, excluding cup matches, was often less than 20k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The WBA sell-out may help us overtake Boro into 6th place in this season's highest average attendances table. Currently its... 1. Sunderland 2. Leeds 3. Leicester 4. Southampton 5. Ipswich 6. Boro 7. OWLS 8. Norwich 9. Coventry 10. WBA Just confirms that really, we should be a top 6 side in this league - like the others in the top attendances table. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue next season is that (as it stands) we have significantly less season ticket holders. All those fans aren't going to suddenly start paying 30-40 quid on average each game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 2 hours ago, alanharper said: This season's league averages by manager - Under Xisco (5 games) - 25,719 Under caretaker (1 game) - 26,025 Under Röhl (16 games) - 26,726 Think it's pretty safe to assume that had Xisco stayed we'd have been down to the attendances pretty much being sold season tickets and away fans only with probably well under 20k actually present, we never got near the gate for the opening game again under him, and his final game was also boosted by a big Sunderland away following. Whereas Röhl's have been boosted by bigger gates in the last few games although lowered a bit by having more midweek home games which are almost always a bit less than normal. Overall the numbers have been pretty consistent. Yet in return Sunderland give us just over 2000 brilliant from Blackburn yesterday and made the atmosphere so much better next season give Sunderland 2000, if that’s how they want to be 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 4 hours ago, Davidioso said: 33,000 against the Baggies will see us at around 26,750 average attendance, only marginally less than the playoff final season figure in 2017. The second highest this century or since leaving the Premier League. And yet we've been in the bottom 3 for 42 of the 44 games, watching some of the worst football in living memory and paying through the roof for the privilige. Where do you start trying to analise that? But come the end of the season we will be told the club has lost £10m, when we have spent nothing on transfers or anything else to that matter and have one of the poorest squads in the league. where is all the money going???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Over 44k Owls at Wembley +any extra who got into the corporate section (and if I remember correctly there were still 12k in the queue by the time of the sell out), the supporters are there, it's about getting them to become regulars.

Paying wages, one of poorest squad in the league should not be costing as much as we seem to waste every year. Our running costs should be rent, we dont own the stadium, so stadium upkeep should be paid by the land lord i.e. DC not SWFC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
