They have approx 10K empty seats a match, they’ve nothing to brag about
I Did like the fact that the stand they chose to close after relegation was the premier concourse.
Ironic eh.

That's fair enough. It would be interesting to know how many season ticket holders Derby and Ipswich have.Derby are undoubtedly averaging more this season because many of their fans thought they were about to lose their club and they've put the money in to help ensure the disaster was averted, add to that they've had cheap season tickets this season, starting at £300 for a regular adult.
They've averaged more than their last 3 Championship seasons.
They're a well supported club in general, but it's unique circumstances this season.
I'm not sure many of our fans think we're anything other than a fairly big championship club which I would suggest is a fairly accurate assessment. I don't sense any entitlement amongst our fans although expectations are quite high at the moment they seem to remain fairly realistic.
I was mate yes although I lived out of the area and had given up my season ticket by that point. I cant remember the issues you mention above but as I say I was out of the loop to some degree back thenWere you around in our most successful period in our history, under McClaren ? The sense of entitlement was overwhelming with people wanting his sacked for having ginger hair, bright white teeth, saying "magnificent" alot or because of "the style of football we played" despite the results on the pitch making us an established mid-tier side, with the amazing cup runs on top of that.
Absolutely. I work in Seaham and it’s Mackem dominated and loving us having a better season. All they bang on about is how big they could be. Like you said most fans have never seen a trophy. That said there attendances are a shade off 40k, rather than 30k.The attendance argument is literally all they have over us, most of their fans have never seen a trophy lifted, European football or a world class player play for them.
Its a totally pointless thing to brag about as well, what does a 30k average win you? You don't get a trophy for it and with 10k empty seats their ground is soulless anyway.
I cant remember the timings but it didn't help when he said he was flattered that 'big club' Newcastle were interested in him and it also came out he fancied the Leeds job.Were you around in our most successful period in our history, under McClaren ?
