Aston Villa down at less than 80% is appalling...

 

Cov

 

Surprised Bournemouth and Watford are so low, considering that both were promoted.

 

I'm surprised they got into double figures

Our percentage would've been higher if DQPR had brought more than 5 to the last game....

 

Yeah, cov, nuff said.

 

Im surprised Burnley are so low considering how small their ground is

 

I imagine Bournemouth and Watfords will be in the late 90's this time next year.......

 

Pretty embarrassing effort by Hull too. Though not surprising lol

 

Oh wow, would you like at Sunderland all the way down there in 20th

 

Sunderland Average Attendance 43,157, population 275,500, County Durham 513,200
Leicester Average Attendance 31,692, population 329,839, East Midlands 4,533,222

You're one of these who cries bite at reasoned argument I see. The fact you went of topic instantly tells me all I need to know. Very satisfying indeed.

What are you trying to say here - you fill a bigger ground with less people then we fill a smaller ground with more people?

 

Not at all, just making a point that our support is good, very good in fact. The only reason that we don't fill the ground was because of a badly planned extension and nothing more. But we average more than Chelsea.

The fact that nobody fills their ground 100% shows it the average attendance that really matters, something both clubs can be proud of.

You have good crowds mate, look at the rest of Europe to see how good your support is. but the population contrast was a good one to show my point.

 

Might be why we've got preliminary plans to add another 10k seats mate

 

You can only fill what you've got.

43 odd thousand seems to be your limit. I doubt we would struggle to fill the same. All speculation/educated guesswork though.

 

Hope it goes well fella, ours backfired as it wasn't necessary. 40k was adequate.

 

Id agree both are good and we could also sell more if our ground was bigger but both our clubs are probably only a relegation from them dropping again. You have closer rivals in Newcastle and McBorough as our fellow East midland sides forgot what top flight football was!!

 

I Love the crowds in the Premier League. All teams should be proud... Except Villa We knock socks of every other league in the world. #homeoffootball
