Everton and West Brom not announced their crowds yet, will keep an eye on it.


So far, the biggest crowd in the top two leagues is at Man Utd (possibly unsurprisingly as it's the biggest club stadium in the leagues) and the lowest so far was at Birmingham.

Birmingham have closed stands for repair. More season tickets than seats apparently. Not like they've had 18months to sort it out or anything.

Good crowd at forest that is.

Forest
their average was 28,114 for 2018/19
and 27,724 for the games played with fans in 2019 /20 ....

still a very decent crowd but lower than previous never the less...
some up a little and some down a little bit hard to judge the effects of covid so far ? as the fluctuations could just be expectations being lower or higher....

What a time to repair the stands, as you say given they've had 18 months to do it. Can only imagine what the reaction would be like on here if that was us :lol:

50,673 at Newcastle v West Ham today for a 2pm kick off on a Sunday and live on Sky :thumbright: :thumbright:

Re: " Premier League & Championship crowds this weekend "

Sun Aug 15, 2021 7:39 pm

Spurs had 58,262 in their stadium against Man City at 4.30pm and live on Sky :thumbright:


Brilliant crowds in the Premier League with five out of ten getting 38,000+ and at least 15,000 at every game :thumbright:


Plus teams like Brentford had a sold out stadium but have a smaller capacity.

Re: " Premier League & Championship crowds this weekend "

Sun Aug 15, 2021 7:40 pm

Five games in the Championship with 15,000+ and three with 20,000+ :thumbright:

None of the games in the Championship had less than 10,000.

Re: " Premier League & Championship crowds this weekend "

Sun Aug 15, 2021 7:43 pm

Sheffield Wednesday had over 24,000 in League One and Portsmouth had over 11,000 in the same league. Very good numbers at that level :thumbright:



All the way down in League Two, there were over 17,000 at Bradford which is a brilliant crowd for the fourth tier :thumbright:

That's what you get when your club gives you 66 years in the top division to enjoy .A solid fanbase. Not once in a blue moon.

Thought Spurs would have easily sold out. Massive game and first home game with full capacity for 18 months

i would imagine they are massively disappointed with that tbh...its a far cry from thousands not being able to get tickets prior to lockdown...

I agree, sometimes you just have to give credit where it's deserved, they haven't been in the top division for over 20 years now and none of their fans under 26/27 will realistically ever remember them being in the top flight

Add to the fact they are a two team City and now back down in the 3rd Division effectively the fact their crowds hold up is impressive and shows a loyal fan base in a true Football city for me
