Harry likes him. I’ve not seen loads of him, but he’s a good player, he was basically playing Scottish 4th Tier (part-time) last season, so has done really well. Harry was chatting to a Carlisle fan, who said Callum Guy has been their best player, gets everywhere. I think we’ve seen that in these two games…and a fine volley too. I like Jack Armer. Dont think either Moxon are Armer should be City signings, but they have scope to play higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top analysis as always sir, whilst not suggesting we should sign him, I just get that feeling that someone - possibly City, will regret not taking a punt on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a soft spot for them since Cardiff in ‘03 when we won the LDV - found them to be a cracking bunch. Another terrific advert for the playoffs in particular and the EFL in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted May 27, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Sheffield Wednesday fans have been given a large proportion of the upper tier after the FA concluded that Barnsley would not be able to sell their full allocation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that. Barnsley aren't happy They didn't sell out their allocation so Wednesday were given an extra 6000. Wednesday have now sold these giving them around 44,000 fans there I always wanted Wednesday promoted rather than Barnsley, but a bit of me would like to support the underdog, at least for a while, and see Sheffield Weds silenced.

You would be proud if you are a Wednesday fan. 44k is a great number and shows what a club have to the history and stature of the club goes along way. Not sure if we have got to the high number of 44K anywhere. Barnsley have a lot of respect also in all football fraternities, but your post indicates that a great big club with history have a sleeping giant of supporters that pop out at a drop of a hat when potential success is not far away.

We have no history and no stature and took about that to the JPT. Might have been 42k but it was what we were given. Good from Wednesday though, poor from Barnsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially we have had over 43000 at Ashton Gate in the cup against Bolton just after the war.

Hi Port, just looking at the city history 1938-39 highest attendance was against the gas at 15,400, Then our history book by Woods and Crabtree has a mention of season 46/47 and the highest attendances were approximately 25K against Wrexkam and our highest again against the gas, Have looked at season 47/48/49 and the highest is against Notts County at 29K. Even season 76/77 at Coventry for us to stay up there were around 9K of us out of a total attendance of 36K I can't see anywhere we have had 40K plus. Whit to next season though as you lucky ones will be at wembley for the play offs and witness some home history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Really mixed feelings towards todays Championship final . Both sets of fans have been through a mincer in recent years and I’ll be happy for either ! Can’t help but feel totally perplexed however at how these two have got where they have without a pot to p@@s in yet we’ve never got there ! Surely by the law of averages we’ll get there one day ? Will be one of only 4 Championship clubs next season never to have played in the Prem ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they got a club that gives some promise and have made the play offs. Play offs brings revenue to any club and supporters morale and also player's benefit. With Tarts drawers I hope we are on the up like a big, massive stalagmite next season as you know stalagmites go up and stalag tights go down.

It was Preston pre war the official figure, I'll see if I can find the game my dad talked about.

You have the right county but it was Blackpool and not Bolton. 42,594 in FA Cup Round 4. 1958. Blackpool were First Division with a host of internationals including the world famous Stanley Matthews. It was his only match at Ashton Gate in a career that lasted until just after his 50th birthday. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Seeing a lot of chat like this about what Coventry and Luton fans have endured. It’s true, but I can remember both of these teams playing in the top division in my lifetime (I turned 40 last week). Whereas City have done nothing but float between the second and third tier in my four decades. I think I’d rather have had the rollercoaster ride up and down the divisions than our years of nothingness. To my mind, that’s worse.
