Rugeley Villa Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't think their fanbase is all that, no where near arsenal spurs or chelsea and I think we easily have a bigger fanbase, the only history they have is bobby moore and it does my head in how the media make them out to be this and that, I can see them getting in serious trouble and dropping out of the prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 People are saying we have a bigger fanbase than them. Yet the only receive they didn't have a higher average attendance than us this season is because they couldn't fit more fans in their ground, it sells out pretty much every week.

choffer Posted May 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2013 They like to think they have a big fanbase, but we'll have to wait and see on that front. For those who have read soccernomics generally speaking if you build a bigger and better stadium you usually attract more fans to your games. To be fair, there are 22,000 registered black cab drivers in London and I've yet to meet one that isn't an 'ammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 What's the point in having a big 'fanbase' when none of them go to the games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Matt Jarvis hasn't provided a single assist since his £10.75million move to West Ham. £10.75million £10.75million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the only receive they didn't have a higher average attendance than us this season is because they couldn't fit more fans in their ground, it sells out pretty much every week. I've said before if we had a 38,000 stadium we would sell out every week because you would need a season ticket to get into the game... Because you don't need one people pick and choose games. Due to work and distanceI get to about 10-12, games a season, if the capacity was lower I would need to buy a season ticket or never go...I would buy a season ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Why would you need to buy one? Season tickets can't have hit 20k this year. so if you take into account away fans taking 3k that leaves atleast 15k for casuals. The years that i never had a ST i never had a problem getting a ticket even when we were doing relatively well Edited May 26, 2013 by lp_villa830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Not so sure myself, Nolan is getting on a bit now and he's in many ways held them together this year. Carroll in my view is a very limited player and injury prone, their defence is poor . I really think (hope) they struggle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
