Attendances - some strange ones

Apart from Covid of course? It seems really odd to try and get in an attendance d!ck measuring contest at the height of a pandemic.
I was genuinely shocked at 20k empty seats. That's 1/3 of people not going. I get why people wouldn't, I was just amazed there was so many.

Clubs will suffer financially if that continues for a few months which with Omicron running wild it might. I had to miss yesterday after testing positive. Hoping to be fit to make a decision about new year's Day assuming no restriction put in place.

It's the crowd they were getting at their old ground. If they face any hardship it's down to poor club management.

I was more thinking of smaller clubs if the same thing happens down the leagues. Be interesting what happens to crowds in Jan and Feb in our leagues and other EFL leagues.

It's not surprise to me. London has been brutal these last few weeks. I know so many people who've caught it. Add to that not wanting to get in a tiny metal tube with hundreds of people is really is no surprise. Some will not be going for safety reasons but a lot will be isolating. I've had to practically live like a hermit in order to avoid it and get to see family and go to this match. Be interesting to see how many turn up for the rugby today. Quite busy with an hour to go but definitely not 70000 yet
 
According to FlashScore there are 24,846 at Derby against WBA.

There must be a hell of a lot of season ticket holders not turned up as the ground looks empty on Sky

That's me for the next week. Been in the house since last Monday due to having a 'cold'. Did a PCR on Wednesday which came back positive yesterday. I'm going nowhere now so I have a chance of going to Sheff U. My son was gutted to miss yesterday.

Aw man sorry to hear that. It's tough at the moment isn't it? Everyone's on a knife edge hoping they can avoid it.

Hope you're feeling OK?
 
Yeah I ditched all my plans and lived like a hermit for two weeks to make sure I wasn't isolating over Christmas. I expect there will be a lot more out and about after the Christmas holidays are over.

Feeling much better. For me it's been a really bad cold for a week. Waves of tiredness, headaches and a cough. Done my first negative test today so fingers crossed.
 
1 in 20 have Covid in London at present - very few people out and about when I drove through, plus no tourists, bank holiday, many have left since Covid began too.

Hope you are OK Edinboro. I've been feeling the same- just awaiting the result of the PCR test today- fingers crossed.
 
on the subject of attendances, our attendance on boxing day was the largest attendance of any championship match this season, and I'll be surprised if anyone beats it to be honest

The negative test is a good sign. Hopefully you're on the mend now
 
Brighton's ground is very train reliant there's nowhere to park anywhere near it. Its about 5 miles north of Brighton
No trains, 8 pm Boxing Day KO, live on Sky plus rapidly rising covid. Trains and buses are free with your match ticket and that normally works very well. It's a 9-minute train shuttle from Brighton Station. A nightmare when no public transport.
