I gave you an attendance range based on the period you were referencing, which you asked about. I'm not sure why you have decided to pick out and comment on the lower end. Let's pretend for a moment that like you say, their silverware during the 50's has no bearing on their support today. The...

They are consistent top tier club. They have been so for 86 years out of their 114 year history. The seasons they have had in the 2nd tier have always resulted in significantly lower attendances, with 1948 and 2017 being outliers. But we all know how attendances are calculated nowadays, and...

They were in the 2nd tier for the first 4 years of the decade, and they had the average attendances as I stated.

Oh, another segue. I'm well aware of higher attendances during terracing booms but thanks. We're talking about the 90's though, aren't we? Or at least I thought we were, I'm a bit lost at this stage.

Wait, are we not talking about averages during the period you suggested? What on earth is a one-off game before Hitler invaded Poland supposed to indicate?

What? They didn't even have a 50k capacity until the late 90's. Edit: I checked for you, they were getting 16-25k depending on success.

If you'd bothered noticing, I gave you a single point in time. Yes, if we were challenging for the Premier League TITLE in the 90's we'd probably have many more fans as a result of that period. I mean that's obvious isn't it? I'm really not sure where we're going with this now, seems a long...

Actually, I think if there was ONE thing we could say that DOES give us that right :lolol:

How long do you think they would sustain those numbers bouncing around the 3rd and 4th divisions before being ****ed by a couple of southern chancers and losing St James? Meanwhile Champions League challenging Brighton and Hove Albion with the best striker in England seem to have a loyal fanbase.

No it doesn't. Some people are albion through and through but don't want to watch shit being served up, at least on a weekly basis. Hence why we had over 30k unique home visitors in the Withdean era but average crowds of only 6-7k. Just because someone stops going to games doesn't mean they...

That's a fair comment, but a far cry from where you first set off which was along the lines of "most albion fans follow another team" which is utter nonsense and something a fanbase of a certain club up the road perpetuate. You sound like a 'where were you at Withdean?' type. People have...

It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's not the truth no. It's not too far outside the realms of possbility is it? My old man for instance, albion fan for 60 years. West ST at Goldstone, West ST at Amex with infrequent visits in between, once to Priestfield and a few at Withdean...

And how many actually voted on it? I wouldn't even bother voting on such a poll. If there were significant Spurs fans at the Amex as you suggest, they would have all emptied out by now since their new stadium is built.

Spurs now is it? I thought it was Arsenal, actually wasn't it Chelsea? It's bollocks, regardless.
