The stats speak for themselves ... great numbers currently given the current price of football we're nearly on a par with the average crowd the season after we last dropped out the Premier League
Some strange stats in amongst this lot ... we were better supported Colin Todd's soul season in charge than we were for Lennie's promotion season
There's a repeating pattern with top flight attendances after the boom of the 74/75 season you can see attendances dropping off season by season until our massive decline in the early to mid 80s
After 2004/05 full houses at the Riverside are few and far between, surprisingly filling the corner in only actually benefited us for the 1st two seasons with regards to regular attendances of 33k+ (I'm assuming we were still at season card sell out status at this point)
Quite a few of our highest gates were reduced ticket price games Coventry at the end of the 2009/10 certainly was I'm pretty sure season card holders could bring someone for a fiver if they filled a form out with the person's details they were buying the extra ticket for
West Ham 89/90 was the game you had to attend to be 'guaranteed' a ZDS Cup Final Ticket
What happened in 2006/07 for Charlton to be the biggest home gate of the season? I think this game may have been kids for a quid?
Sheff Wed was a ticket deal in 2012/13 as was Bolton the following season for Karanka's first game in charge
for the record them up the A19 win the trophy for best supported club between the 2 of us (but I think we secretly already knew that ... just as well big crowds don't win you promotion
Right ... what can I study next haha
