TheHomunculusLives Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Aren't they impressive? Nearly 5000 higher on average than anyone else and also the highest proportion of capacity filled. http://www.soccerstats.com/attendance.asp?league=england2 Who says The Homunculus can't be positive! Interesting that Leeds and Wednesday barely fill half their grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 In fairness if I was a Leeds fan I wouldn't go, they have their own TV channel in Sky Sports (I don't go to Derby games either ). Wednesday's a little more surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 On paper, we should be in the Premiership with the Club being run and supported as it is now. Some other clubs must be envious of how things are going for us. Is there a much better run club in the country? if we get promotion then Mel...What a guy! has bought himself a bargain.

The ticket price between us and the dirties is one factor, but the ambition shown and the way the club is run is the biggest difference. Derby fans will always get behind the club if the ambition is there and the owners aims match our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 this club has a huge following that exceeds its boundary, its not a big city with only 248k, compare that against Leeds and Sheffield which contains 800k and 570k, we know Sheffield has two good sides in it but we have Burton and Chesterfield locally to compete and we still as always top the attendance charts, its a well run club who deserve a premier league birth.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Interesting that references to half empty city ground are misguided. One third empty city ground.

COYR.......... Our city is actually not really as big as current stats suggest, it rose from just under 220K between the last two census' largely do to the boundary being changed. For example Belper is now included in the city boundary for population count, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is misleading though as boundary changes for the purposes of calculating the last census drove the figure up, not increased population.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 That shows how much depends on how boundaries are drawn,for example Swansea is a small city, but if you throw in Neth, Port Talbot, Llanelli and all the wee towns around the place you get quite a large catchment, similarly, I'm guessing the Cardiff one is including a chunk of the mordor upon earth known as "the valleys".

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 From Southampton to Portsmouth is essentially one continuous 25 mile coastal conurbation which look as though the numbers have inflated both.I was fairly sure that Southampton City is about 170k. Probably find derby has been lumped into the Nottingham urban area in the above. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
