As much as I've often advocated the same thing (people would rather see a winning team in a lower division than a losing team in the division above), I think that goes out the window for the Premier League.

Also, football has changed so much since we last reached the top flight, I'm not sure it can be used as any kind of barometer for what will happen next time we achieve the same feat.

To be honest I don't give a flying fig about the attendance on Monday. If we win the tie overall there could be less than 10k and I will still be going gibbon dung!

THIS. As is always the case regarding attendance/sell out threads.

There's a lot of disregard for road safety there. Not one seatbelt worn, plus people standing up in a moving vehicle. I'd imagine Saturday will be spent at the hospital.

tbh 30k+in the goldstone with spurs,west ham,man utd did not represent a safe family environment,after spurs,west ham and chelsea in previous seasons you would have to be a bit silly to take the family.Also the facilities were still third division at best.

This is so true. So much has changed about football, about the club, about the stadium and about Brighton and the surrounding areas that comparisons between now and 35 years ago are essentially meaningless

Another big reason was that it cost a lot more to get in to watch, surely this time prices wouldn't increase by much

This keeps getting thrown out and has no basis in modern football.

Show me dwindling crowds for any top tier side in the last 20 years. To save you time, the best examples you will be able to find are 2-3k dropoffs for teams almost down by christmas.

OK.

Boro dropped from 34,386 avg in 1999/2000, immediately after promotion, to as low as 26,780 in the Premier League in 2008 (when they finished 13th).
