Why Build at 30,000 Stadium when the average crowds were less the 10k..
I think The same philosophy applies here!.
I Maybe wrong but the northern Outskirts of that Stadium diagram looks as though the horse track is right next to it!.
Who did that then? It certainly wasn't the Albion as they only built a 22.5k stadium to start with![]()
What is your point here? I'm not sure I understand what point you are making.
Do you remember the Albion getting big crowds in the 70s?
Did Whitehawk get big crowds in the 70s, 80s or ever?
70's are irrelevant, Football Crowds across the Entire country were generally larger back then Anyway!.
My point is, You will Always Attract a much broader base of Suppoters if your Stadium is Better.
How many Women and young girls did you see at football matches in the earlier years, Was it the same as now!.
Yes I agree with your point about attracting a broader base of supporter with a better stadium, and you are correct there are more women and girls at matches.
But where are the new Whitehawk fans going to come from with the Albion attracting so many fans?
I started watching the Albion in the 70s as a kid, I did go to games at Withdean but plenty didn't, but many fans are back again now at The AMEX.
Good luck to Whitehawk but they didn't have a large fan base in the past, where are the new fans going to come from?
