Is that actually watched or tickets sold (or stolen), because if it's the latter, you can probably reduce it by about 20% Edited August 17, 2021 by wendyredredrobin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, BS2 Red said: After reading your post, I was interested enough to wonder what the leagues would look like if we based everything on average attendance. I found the 2019-20 stats ( http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/aveeng.htm ) for the last pre-covid attendances and then sorted them into one big list and then put them into divisions. Obviously it's a flawed way of judging teams, but (purely on attendance) it shows that we are not crazy to think we should be pushing for the Championship play offs. Whereas Rovers should be grateful at a mid table League One place. Talk of the Championship for them is insanity. Good research - @Davefevs would be proud of that! However, attendances don’t necessarily equate to standings in the football world - eg Wimbledon, Wigan, Yeovil - etc - all got to dizzy heights that their initial attendances would have deemed unlikely ... it’s the players on the pitch not the number of people in the stands - although I do note you stated your stats are a “flawed way of looking at teams” ...

WessexPest Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) The aggregate attendance of the Gash’s three home games this season (Cheltenham, Stevenage, Oldham) still falls short of the crowd we got in our single home game against Blackpool.

Yeah I completely agree attendance is not, by itself, a way of measuring success/prestige of a team. I only did it to counter the "we're massive! Loyal gasheads! Championship level, look at how many of us there are!" rubbish that the 15ers like to spout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything about this interview is Micky mouse. Apart from your manager, the only person at BCFC that I could name or recognise is Scott Murray. When we haven't played each other for a fair number of years, there's no reason for either set of fans to be aware of who plays for the other team. Whereas going back to the days of regular derby matches, I could still probably name around 75% of your players. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you to the travelling Latics fans who have made the journey tonight. The gAsshole in work, who I've not seen for about 3 months, came bouncing in the office this morning like a dog with 2 dicks. When I asked why their crowd was so shit, he mumbled something about ticket scanners not working and left with his tail between his legs. I'll probably see him again around Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that bloke who has just played in the quarter final of the Euros & against England no one has ever heard of him. Or the one who faced Germany, France & Portugal.. Or Andi Weimann, Chris Martin, Andy King, players with loads of Prem games behind them.. Gas always come out with this shit, let’s face it most of their team arrived this summer, in the latest 10 in, 13 out shitshow that happens in BS7 most seasons. Most people don’t know who fourth division footballers are but I do know their goalie (genuinely don’t know his name) was in the Finland squad, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but this is complete rubbish unless you never watch , listen or read any other football content at all , on any platform. you’ve never heard of any of our players ? you’ve never heard of Andi Wiemann or Nahki Wells .

I did hear it mentioned in commentary that there was a Bristol City player in one of the teams, but can't remember which country, never mind the player's name. The same with a lot of players who played for other countries, watching a match for 90 minutes doesn't ingrain the names in the brain forever.

That's fair enough about international football, I think there's the odd exception of recognisable players in our squad. The main being Danny Simpson (ex Leicester and Prem winning right back), but aside from that most people don't know players from outside the Premier League. And then very like Pearson. I've heard of Wells for years, but wouldn't been able to recognise him until he joined City as a prime example. I don't think it's a bad thing from @In the Net.
