Cringeworthy Palarse !!

[waddoneagle]

Great first post !!
Must have used nearly all 3 brain cells to think that one up !!

WE ? WE ?

Well thats Three more than you, But i have heard from Brighton supporters that you are Special.

 

[waddoneagle]

If you're so tied up with stats how about working out away fans per mile traveled. You're 50 miles closer to most of them than we are.

Clutching at straws, Bottom line is your away support is crap.

So why don't more of the 25k home crowd travel?

I can only speak for myself here but when we were at withdean, going to a game was a labour of love.
It was a case of getting to the game and getting home, it wasn't a particularly nice experience 90% of the time.
I used to go to far more away games as I enjoyed them more.
Now we have the AMEX, the whole day is fantastic. Pub at 11.00, train at 2.00..staying behind after for a beer.
Bearing in mind my ticket and travel are paid for, I still manage to get through the best part of £70-80 per game, so home games are a lot dearer for me than they used to be!
The home games are far more enjoyable these days and although I still manage to get to 10-12 aways a season, I don't feel the need to go to as many away games for a decent football experience.

No idea...... Generally the % of tickets available to away supporters are around 2k and on that basis of our teams have done fairly well. If you consider grounds where you'd be offered 3k, are in the north, I guess they aren't prepared to travel.

Serious question for you as well. You had a good season, at one point were cruising to promotion and were also playing good football at Selhurst. Why don't you get more people to watch you? They all came out at Wembley (as would another 10K of ours would have no doubt!).

Very nearly puked up my Sunday afternoon pint. In all seriousness, that is grotesque.

Here's my favourite attendance stat:



Average % of your stadium that was filled at home games. Never mind highest average gate, this tells us that there is not a lot of space left at The Amex.......

Clutching at straws,

So why is your home support so bad?

YAWN another Palace thread, just what is needed

I agree about the Amex. Probably the best experience of my life (although Wembley was good)

Are you talking about the Play Off game or the 3-0 League mauling ? being as you are Palace I bet you didn't do both.

Percentage figure for Albion should be higher as capacity of 30,003 only applied for about three league games. Where's Palace on that list - top ten?

 

[gravnast]

Major it is embarassing. Attendances mean bugger all, really please drop it.

My god I've seen it all now !!!

Very very gay

 

[raba]

We aren't really much of a laughing stock, there has been hardly any coverage of us

Well, there definitely is now.

As I said on page one, the football world are laughing at you. I also repeat there are posts saying Brighton Batmanhas been doing the rounds.

 

[Luke93]

Am I the only one finding the title more cringe worthy? Lol

It seems to be losing momentum

Of course I did both. I did 35 matches last season including the last 2 which will stay with me for ever. You've got me on attendances though so you win (although not away attendances)

 

[eaglejez]

M hasn't noticed we had an 82 k attendance last season.

 

[Murry]

I have an idea guys.

Why dont we do league tables based on attendances?

I think we should give up our place in the Premiership and give it to Brighton because have had bigger attendances for a couple of years. In fact its all I could think of as Zaha smashed it in the roof at the net and as Phillips banged in that Pen to send us up. I really feel guilty.

Be careful though The Major might go and support Man Utd or Arsenal. He must really idealise their massive attendances.

I'll bite for you TheMajor, our capacity on average was about 71% of the ground based on the fact that we don't have anywhere near 26,309 seats at present. That'll change next season slightly but it still won't be that figure.
