chelsea must be devastated at losing 18,000 fans

Fraid that you will never have 18,000 season ticket holders. Not a reflection on the club or its support its just that the population in the cactchment area just isn't enough.

Reading have all of the Thames Valley to draw upon.

 

[Rangdo]

I reckon any club could get 18000 season ticket holders under the right circumstances.
Bit of success at the top of the premier league would bring the glory hunters rolling in no matter what the club was.

 

[Man of Harveys]

But I'll wager that 14,000 of them are under NINE years of age and are more interested in HOTDOGS than their dull team in their dull town.

I'm going to phone Norris McWhirter to check, because that must be the world record for the largest number of wankers in one place at the same time.

sales of those stick things you bash together will be right u this season then.

West ham are a bit upset too. and foooolham

 

[dunno]

Brighton and Hove alone is over 250,000 - and that's not including Worthing, Hastings, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Uckfield, Crawley, Eastbourne, Littlehampton etc etc etc

 

[Northstander]

Reading I think will do ok next year, unlike Sheff Utd or Watford!

Only Hull and Plymouth can seriously claim to have unachieved with their potential fan-bases in the same way as Albion have managed to. Even Coppell has said that Brighton are potentially a far bigger club than Reading. And he's right. But it's potential shcmential I guess...

You forget that Leeds regularly draw 21,000 at home.

Palace v Reading must be higher than that.

 

[Simster]

Palace v Reading must be higher than that.

Yeah. Either way, the record will be SMASHED as soon as Fratton Park expansion is complete.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

You're all forgetting that Palarse have played at Old Trafford fairly recently. That holds more wankers than any other ground in the country.

 

[Rougvie]

Yeah. Either way, the record will be SMASHED as soon as Fratton Park expansion is complete.

But they will be in L1 by then ?
