BACK ON TOPIC:

I'm hoping the fans and players treat each Premier League match like the cup final against Liverpool. We knew we were underdogs but gave it everything and ended up witnessing something pretty special! 38 performances like that and we'll be OK!

Because we were at differing stages of establishment. You were in your 9th Championship season and we were in our 3rd, you had a 6 year advantage to draw in fans.

Yourfirst three years in the Championship compared to ours, were very similar, in fact we actually got more than you. The Prem has left all that well behind, we are at a completely different level. European football, top 10 status and tens of millions worth of player on display. Our fanbase has grown massively.

me too. far more than Cardiff ones. we sold 6,000 on our first day of shirt sales and you sold 300 according to Carl. Your tickets have now been released on general sale due to them not shifting for your first prem game and they still haven't gone. All ours went in 24 hours.

25,000 plus fans and 10,000 on the season ticket waiting list for this coming campaign, probably some plastics in there no doubt but then again if you're getting 19,000 fans in the white elephant you will have a hell of a lot of plastics being as you only used to get 8,000 to 15,000 in the championship, and I'm being generous there.
I rest my case mr gower :D

I will actually give you that one although it wasn't our first 3 years and when we moved to the ccs in 2009 we topped 20,000 immediately where as you were already in the white elephant mr ince, how ironic you call yourself Tom Ince :D that's the mentality of your lot but that's another story.
I hardly get involved in posts like this normally but I just had to put my pennies worth in on this one to bring you up to date on the facts. :thumbup:
Tell me Mr Ince, how many on your season ticket waiting list not including Liverpool and Man Ure fans :D

This seasons attendances will prove that, and if we both had 50,000 stadiums, we would still have bigger crowds.
