Where's The Supporters Gone.

Wed Aug 20, 2014 3:52 pm

With only a supposed 20k ish (looked alot less imo) turning up for the first two home games of the season it seems people are blaming that figure on many things as to why there have not been more support down the ccs so far.
Ive been looking at some figures for the last few years and heres what ive found on attendances in the championship.
You would think the first few home games of a new season would bring more fans to the ground as they should be busting for it after the break along with there voices but even they seem to have gone :( ......I shall come back to this thread come may hopefully we will be hitting between 22-23k overall average and in the top two :bluescarf:

Based on home games only.

2013-2014 average - 27,429 (PREM)

Championship (23) Home games
2012-2013 average - 22,998
2011-2012 average - 22,100
2010 -2011 average - 23,193

Ian, it looked barely 16,000 in the stadium last night :shock:

I will find out how many Season ticket holders were not there.

We have a fantastic team/squad and an exciting season ahead :thumbright: :thumbright:

City's prices are to high though.

Just like 'You're going to have a riot on your hands'

'City till I die' now has no meaning/truth.

cost wouldnt be a problem if it was prem football.....every season for the last 6 or so years we have been pushing for the top....so now we in the championship many "fans" have decided to walk away until it looks like we are going back up again...if we are running away with league in february i see a scramble for season tickets for 2015-16 season.... :ayatollah:

Lots of families on holiday so this would probably account for 1-2 thousand missing

Walkup prices too high for championship football. Can't drop the prices without causing a backlash with people who paid full whack for season tickets. If we keep goin as we are on the pitch, that number will rise to about 25,000 in a month or two as it always does.

Yep thats what i mean it didnt even look near 20k i know they add ST on eitherway but there was atleast 2-3k missing but counted for oviously, its funny because as somebody mentioned in this thread the many many 1000s will be crawling back if we go up thats the sadest part :bluescarf:

I was told by a steward that the actual crowd was about 17,000 odd.

Too expensive for me plus I've lost heart over rebrand. Away games are better in my opinion. Doing Fulham away is going to cost me over 140 with beer, train and food for myself and my 2 boys. I'd rather do 3 or 4 aways than line Tans pockets with my hard earned cash.

The problem the club have is because they put season tickets so expensive

They can't lower the price to low of each game or it would work out cheaper to buy tickets individually other than a season ticket , messed up there because people won't pay these prices for championship football
