Oh Louie louie Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 We might have got coaches from everywhere watching us in the 1970s, but we have never had quote daytrippers here in all my life,a daytripper for me is someone who just goes to Wembley, and they are well over repesented in that field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got the sort of loyal fans they can only dream of. Posted this before but it will be 30 years at the end of this season since they were last in the second tier. They have absolutely no idea about anything at Championship level now therefore, the quality of the players, impact of parachute payments & how you build a club to be successful to sustain yourself there. A year after they got relegated we built the Atyeo stand, now by some distance the poorest part of our ground, yet a structure that they can only dream of. As you so rightly point out, we don’t have “daytrippers” we have built a good sized support, largely because in a modern Premier League standard ground, the experience is a good one. Also our fan base is pretty young, getting more diverse by the year & has also managed to incorporate a percentage of fans from the gentrified areas around the ground, though admittedly not in the same numbers as the rugby team has. They’re bitter, small time & an increasing irrelevance, no matter what their friends in the media try to pretend. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they remove the so called stands the ground sheet leaves a patch of pale grass and worms but don't worry, it grows back after a few days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting 12,000 into proper context, this was an early round F.A.Cup match against a team we play every season FFS! Stoke had a similar crowd the other night in the 5th round and that was against Premier League Brighton! If this was in the context they were alluding to as in a League match it would be 20,000 plus. Not like them to distort the truth is it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest 864 You have to love their pick and choose stats to suit. It was a lunchtime kick off on a Sunday in the FA cup against a team we have been playing for years. Next they will be quoting attendances in the Carabao cup to somehow justify how great they are.... When we played the same team in the League back in October we had just over 21k. Our lowest home attendance in the League this season is still over 17k.Still, better not quote any of that - even though that poster would have seen it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
