12000+ empty seats at Falmer

When I pointed out on here about 5 years ago that Norwich and Ipswich were the true hotbeds of football support in England (and not Liverpool or Newcastle), you laughed at me!

So I agree with you. The support at these two clubs has always been first class and the support at Norwich this season has been simply amazing really.

Modern All Seated Attendance Record:
25,552 v Manchester United
Premier League, April 9th, 2005.

Average Attendance:
2008-2009: 24,543 (Championship League)
2007-2008: 24,523 (Championship League)
2006-2007: 24,545 (Championship League)

Now that's what you call consistency !

And you can't pay on the gate

And you can't pay on the gate

But to be fair they don't need to, as has been so clearly demonstrated. They have 25,000 established fans. We have 5,000, it's renaissance time, and we are trying to rebuild and recapture a lost generation. That is a very different position to be in. You ideally would want every type of fan, with whatever way they want to pay, to come along. But I know, that's not to be.

There are FAR more important planning issues that the club will want to overcome IMHO. Most significantly, they will want to be able to have more than one concert per year, as this could be a MASSIVE revenue stream.
