Dropping to League 2, having to play in Northampton and Birmingham, and having dogshit owners probably had something to do with our low attendances.
I’m so grateful with how far we’ve come in those 10 years

Well, this is embarrassing…but in our defence, we spent a while shacking up with mates as we were homeless.
Probably outside the remit of this, but I wonder how attendances compare dependent on where the ground is. Like, ground in the centre of town/easy walking distance, compared to ground in the arse end of nowhere on some new built industrial estate.

What year are we supposed to have had less than 20k average attendance?

Why are the biggest improvers at the bottom? This is upside down.

I’d be curious to see this as a percentage of capacity.

Here’s another stat. Prime Real Madrid never beat us

This must be the table that determines promotion/relegation

We have had plus 29,000 this year, numerous times, so it puts the whole thing in to doubt for me

Ours is likely lower than this as it auto counts season ticket holders regardless of whether they actually turn up. I imagine our lowest is closer to 7.5k

Acun has worked wonders getting our fans back on side after the Allams tried their best to drive them away

Would not have pegged us for having the 4th highest average attendance of the last decade.
InspektD on
How does the maths work on this? You can’t have a lowest/highest average unless without cherry picking data. L
It looks like it’s the lowest attendance vs the highest attendance, and the lowest as a % of the highest.

10 years ago we were recovering from being in administration, having sold the stadium to Plymouth City Council and nearly been relegated out of the football league entirely. I think it would’ve been the end of us as we know it.
So many volunteers gave up their free time and in some cases money to keep the club running on a shoe string. The Green Taverners set up the fan fest before the match each week to raise money for the admin staff’s wages, and Peter Reid paid the gas bill from his own pocket and sold his FA cup runners up medal to help keep the club afloat.
Yes the football was crap, but this was just as we started to rebuild.
A few tumultuous, uncertain but ultimately progressive years under James Brent’s ownership until Simon Hallett decided on the foolhardy task of buying the football team in his hometown.
Now we fill our stadium every week, we have a modern, progressive board that is only interest in organic growth, and a club that is investing in the city, setting a great foundation for the future.
We’ve come a long way baby.

Leeds fans best in the world TM

Considering the 24 years of hopeless shit we’ve had the support for us never ceases to amaze me.

These figures are nonsense, totally incorrect.

Sigh. Used to have 25-30K consistently before Venkeys came along.

Those days of 15k fans were genuinely some of our worst years in our history, Karanka came along at just the right time
rumhambilliam69 on
I’m amazed that at least 16K were showing up throughout 6 years of big Mick hoofball, a 5 wins all season relegation, and 3 seasons of mid table league one nothingness.

Surely we had more than 22000 on the occasions we played at home to the vile in the last ten years…

Majorly skewed by division, ie extend to 15 years when Southampton were in League One and they go from 1st to like 11th. Premier League pretty much guarantees a full stadium these days.

There are teams that think they are big and then saints
GoldenJet01 on
that’s what being crap for years and going down to league two, just to be challenging for championship playoffs 5 years later does to a fanbase.
Honestly I hope our fan base recovers long term we should be having these 23k+ averages at minimum for a club our size
2BEN-2C93 on
We are at a massive advantage here from having spent the entirety of the last 10 years in the premiership. Even when we were shit, we’d still get close to selling out.

Bit of a disgrace that Sunderland waste so much space in that stadium
SkimpZoot on
Fair play to us saints. Might not be the loudest but we always turn up
