Away Attendances

It's said that we have one of the younger/more family-oriented fanbases in the league, and that kind of thing is going to hit away attendences, especially midweek games.

How depressing - Over 200 people more saw a gutless FA Cup perfomance by a second-string team than saw a superb fightback by a team with character in a massively entertaining game.

Yeah, but I saw Nick Cave, so I'm still up on the deal.

Nick Cave > Cardiff any day of the week.

Aye - according to the PL Supporter Survey from the first year in the PL we had the highest proportion of under-18 supporters of all 20 clubs. And, I think, also the highest proportion of female supporters.

So presumably also the highest proprtion of people not understanding why the lino kept sticking his flag up when an attacker was running forward

A bit harsh there, Dirkers.

Some of the under-18s seem to know some of the rules.

Please pass this thread to the STAR committee for comment.

I remember the time when you would go to an away match and genuinely know every other Royals fan (bar the odd one or two) that were there. In the late 80's early 90's it wasn't unusual for between 30 and 70 to turn up to a mid week away game. Oh, how times have changed!

And that included the police, who on the odd occasion outnumbered the fans!

Ive got some old videos from 90-93 taped off Coast to Coast on the Monday night. I could usually spot myself at away games acting like a Retard with the rest of the massed ranks on the odd occasion we scored at our end.

I must know you then. Any chance of transferring them to DVD and getting hold of a copy?
