I suggest you read it again and tell me where I mentioned "post war"? I said "last 50 years" from the outset. I thought I'd made this quite clear? Most teams don't lose support overnight just because of one relegation - it happens after sustained mediocrity. These two examples expose the flaw...

Carefully chosen? I said last 50 years - hardly "carefully chosen". No and yes. Some clubs retain fans for a season or two after relegation. But a sustained period in the doldrums brings with it a drop in attendance. This is why your back of a fag packet analysis is pointless, because some...

I really don't continue to struggle despite your pompous assertion that I do. Sure, if you want to be completely accurate, Liverpool have averaged under 34,700 just the once in 50 years. However, they've always been towards the top of attendance tables which is part of the point I was making -...

Actually, no I'm not. But this is why so many people find this so pointless. Your simple analysis might prove the point you want to make, but it takes no account of the number of fans we actually HAVE. Liverpool have millions of fans all over the country, and always have filled up their...

I'll say it yet again, I have no problem pointing out that our home support at the moment is absolutely superb. I have no issue with announcing tickets sold over bums on seats - it's all good as far as I'm concerned. And a crowd of over 28,000 for the visit of Fulham just before Christmas...

Fulham has always been a fairly attractive fixture down the years. I don't know why that is the case for Fulham any more than say, Charlton or Brentford really. I'm sure crodo will agree there will be a "bumper audience". I'll go for 28,312. 26,000 for an Albion match where we are in a...
