Hope this helps, taken from a good local site… NUFCvSAFC***AVERAGEGATES***1893to2014 ***121YEAR ... NUFC v SAFC (average league attendances) 'The Geordie Times' haz published below the average leegue attendances of both clubs from 1893 to 2014, startin' from 1893-1894 season and endin' on the current season, to date. The SMBs claim that they are az loyal az The Toon fans and that they can match us in crowd figures throughoot the last 121 years of leegue futbaall between us! Lets see if they are reet?---The SMBs joined The Futbaall Leegue in 1890 and NUFC joined in 1893 and so the average attendance figures are from the 1893-1894 season az we have ne NUFC data before that time. Attendance figures are independant and are taken from three sources---'The Association of Football Statisticians', 'European Football Statisticians' and the excellent book, 'Through the Turnstiles', which gives every average gate for every club who have ever played in The Futbaall Leegue!
