kdncfc 0 Posted June 12, 2009 It should also be remembered that Ipswich have spent 2 seasons in the prem in that time while we have been there for only one season, they have also reached the play offs on several occasions while we have only reached them once.

Clever Farke 65 Posted June 12, 2009 [quote user="bluemike"]I couldn''t help but notice how much importance is put on attendances by you guys on this board, playing on the fact NCFC are the best supported club in East Anglia. Funnily enough these statistics appear to suggest otherwise, last 3 seasons apart the opposite is in fact the case.Ave Attendance ITFC NCFC2009 20,951 24,5432008 21,935 24,5232007 22,445 24,5452006 24,253 24,9522005 25,651 24,3502004 24,520 18,9872003 25,455 20,3532002 24,426 18,6442001 22,532 16,5252000 18,524 15,5391999 16,932 15,7601998 14,893 14,445As ive stated previously too, taking into account the difference in populations we are far and away the better supported club, us being a little "Town" whilst Norwich is a "Large" city.

bradley11 0 Posted June 12, 2009 That much better that your spending your evening on a Norwich message board going on about something that quite frankly no-one cares about, We get more fans than Fulham...it has nothing to do with how good you are Mike.

TBH \mike, you can''t really take the population of the city/town as a fair comparison. Both Ipsh*t an Norwich are supported by a much larger area, which, at a guess is roughly the same sort of population. (you can''t even go Norfolk/Suffolk, cos I know most of Lowestoft is Yellow, and vast swathes of south Norfolk/north Essex are blue. The fact is we ARE better supported than you over the last 4 years and the only time you lot get close to a sell-out is when you play us, so you''re average crowd will be even worse this year, especially after Keano walks when everything isn''t quite going to plan.

Mason 47 1,391 Posted June 13, 2009 I thought Bigfoot was the best supported myth?Either that or the one about pirates being better than ninjas. Come on guys, you''re all missing the point a bit I think. [8-)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panic 0 Posted June 13, 2009 The stats are rubbish anyway. How can you have an average attendance over a calander year for a start? I thought the football season lasted from Autumn to Spring, across two calander years....Statistics relating to ground attendances alone can''t give an overall representation of how well supported a club is anyway.Also (while I''m at it) the figures can be pulled apart anyway: for example in 2003/2004 we only had three stands.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted June 13, 2009 Bluemike spends an unhealthy amount of time on a message board intended (mainly) for Norwich supporters to have a mass debate about all things NCFC. Could this have anything to do with the fact that this forum is far superior to any Town offering? TWTD is about as crap as you can get - it''s filled with semiliterate chunderings from monosyllabic baboons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted June 13, 2009 This is totally inacurate - I wouldnt be surprised if this was entirely made up.Even if it is accurate the thing for me is percentage of stadium filled - why? Because back in 1998 our ground couldnt hold more than 20,000 supporters.However since around 2002 we have sold out for pretty much every home league game and if not very close to it.Plus the best supported club must mean more than just the people that turn up on a match day? Not everyone can make it every match day hence the reason there are normal tickest as well as season tickets available.On that note - season tickets - how many do Ipswich sell?

Herb 0 Posted June 13, 2009 The only thing I find suprising about bluemike''s info is that apparently 110,000 people live in Ipswich. I mean, seriously wtf?Do they not realise that civilisation is a mere car/train journey away? Then again, Ipswich is probably the only place left in the country where the locals point at cars in a mystified way. Could explain a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
