Our attendances, historically

[aka Dus]

Was wondering about our attendance before we became successful under Shanks. Anywhere reliable I could find out about how many would regularly go to Anfield before we really took off?

 

Am having a tiresome argument woth a Chelsea fan who reckons they are in the all time top average 5 attendances which gives them grounds as a 'big club' despite Roman's money. The desperate validation-seeking mockney vvanker.

 

He reckons Liverpool were as well supported as West Ham, though I suspect on past record he's just making up stats.

If my memory serves me right, we were getting between 28,000 and 35,000 when we were in the second division in the fifties.

Thanks chaps, he's been dismissed from a position of comfort.

 

1983, finishing 18th in Division 2 with an average crowd of 12.672. Snigger!!

Since 1947 Chelsea have had twenty-six seasons with average attendances below 30,000 - we've had that once ... West Ham fifty-two times.
