Approximately 29k watched Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United at home in the Premier League. Approximately 29k watched Derby County lose at home to Peterborough United in the third tier of English football 😂 I don't think this is the win you're looking for.. It’s weird how people in England argue over attendances. It just doesn’t happen abroad. Like I don’t think Leverkusen give two hoots that Schalke get bigger attendances than them. Or Sevilla care that Real Betis get more bums on seats. We’re all similar sized clubs, no bigger than Leicester, Bolton, Norwich, Blackburn, Southampton, Middlesbrough etc. And we’ll just fluctuate between midtable PL to top half League One until the day we die.

No not a win in the slightest An EPL game just off the river Trent should be a full house with the world famous red devils in town and a City with a population approaching 300k...but failed Meanwhile a 3rd tier game with 1500 away fans from Peterboro and a population approaching 270k shows that Brian Clough was right,,,Derby is a footballing Town Carnero, Bob The Badger, Ilkestonian and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The culpable person however is Mel Morris without a shadow of a doubt. You suggest that avoiding relegation with that squad and no points deduction would be an achievement. It was a squad that would ordinarily have been challenging for promotion. A good manager would have given us a decent chance of avoiding relegation even with the points deduction.

I think you're over egging that, it wasn't a play-off level squad the year before and been weakened further. A squad that should've stayed up with no drama I'll give you. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think attendances get brought up so much because it's about the only thing in the fans' control. I know it's due to capacity, but getting bigger attendances 2 leagues below is still very funny (even if it invites the obvious, yet effective comeback) The_Sheriff, TigerTedd and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 1 hour ago, nottingram said: Wonder what Moral High Ground FC will have to say on this It’s the game they decided they wanted to play (like we had failed it a couple of seasons before) and I think eventually, unless you are a Villa, you do run out of road. It’ll be interesting but cant help but have that feeling that modern top tier football is becoming more of a weeing contest rather than about playing football, not that they have any sympathy from me.

And Shelvey. And Dennis, you know, the one with the shoes. And the one who did a little dance. And the ones who play for Olympiakos now, which is fine, absolutely fine. And the rest. I’m sure we could probably name them all but we might not have time. Premier ram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
