Updated: Attendance Watch For Villa Games
Update on the Attendance watch this season:
Ok, been able to finalise this. Comparison between attendances at home this season and last seasons corresponding doo dah (technical football term). Will try to continue this next season, hopefully with a new manager and much brighter figures.
PL: Blackburn Rovers home... 32 319 (Blackburn brought 250 tops).... v Blackburn last season at home (Sept): 34 309... our first home game last season was v West Ham with an attendance of 36 604 So down on both + puts pay to me wondering if some of this is holidays etc.
LC: 2nd round v Hereford 21 508... We joined in the 3rd round last season, that was v Blackburn Rovers and attendance was 18 753. So up but for balance, Hereford brought a big following, 3000-4000?
PL: Wolves ... attendance 30 776... Last season (played in March whilst flirting relegation), attendance 38 965. So down BUT it was a 3pm kick off and not on tv.
PL: Newcastle 34 248 last season 37 090 (played April on a Sunday, 4pm for Sky) ((This home game just played, I believe Newcastle had 1000 taken off them for problems at the Darlington game))
LC: Bolton 22 261 last season the second LC game was v Burnley at home 34 18 OUCH, that is some drop and a half.
PL: Wigan 30 744 Last season 36 293 (played May)
PL: WBA 34 152 Last season 37 015
PL: Norwich 35 290 not applicable last season, v Blackpool the then new boys 34 330
PL: Manchester United 40 053 Last season 40 073 so very little change from last season. Under MON`s last season: 42 788 (That was the season we finally beat them away from home and drew at Villa Park).
PL: Liverpool 37 460 last season 42 785
PL: Arsenal 35 818 last season 38 544
PL: Swansea 35 642 They came en masse... not in PL last season.
PL: Everton 31 853 last season 34 725
PL: QPR 32 063 no comparables really but Burnley similar? 34 618
PL: Manchester City 35 132 last season 37 815
PL: Fulham 32 372 last season 35 899
PL: Chelsea 34 740 last season 40 122
PL: Stoke 30,100 last season 35,235
PL: Sunderland 32 557 last season 32 627
PL: Bolton 32 263 last season 34 655
PL: Tottenham 36 008 last season 39 411
