About 20000 turned up at The Boleyn last time.

Hardly a cup final.

What game are all our fans looking forward to most this season?

Agreed. We have bigger fish to fry than a team that struggles to get 12k attendance. They never even tasted Premier League football :lol:

Leave it out. The fact that our fans ran on the pitch after we scored against a League 1 club suggests it's just a bigger game for us as it is for them.

A small proportion of our fans ran on the pitch from a ground that was 2/3 full.

For the early rounds of the League Cup.

Trust me this is The Cup Final for those with any understanding of our club. You can not judge the intensity by attendance figures

For a League Cup game in which the entire TB stand was closed to home fans. The actual attendance was 24k.

Its intense, sure, because this is the truest local derby we've got, but our cup final this season is the match guaranteeing promotion.

You sound like you're from the "football only started in 1992 with the Sky Premier League" brigade.

They were in the top division when we were in the 2nd tier before.

Who are these bigger fish this season then? Me personally, nothing bigger than this lot away this season.

For me, Elland Road and Cardiff.

Millwall are a local inner city remnant rival. They're actually a poorly supported bunch of hangers-on these days.

I just don't find them that interesting, despite the 'conventional wisdom' of the situation.

Let me guess, you're from Romford and Spurs are our biggest rivals?

Yeah you are right, I will probably give this game and the rest of the season a miss as it is not proper soccer like they show on that Match of the Day

Sweeney I find that statement patronising I refuse to look on it as our cup final because to do so would give them more kudos, to me they are and always will be a small little team with a large chip on their shoulder about us. Believe me I understand the intensity of this rivalry but dont need to see it as our cup final to have an understanding of the club i've supported for 40 plus years

I must say though, Elland Road is cracking 'proper' away day. More chance of getting in trouble than 'wall easily. Dare say there people on here ****ting it about the p***** yet happy to do Leeds. Wrong way round IMO.

No matter how much you'd like to deny it, you're nuts if Leeds or Cardiff matters more than this lot though.

They may be a proper p**** little **** **** club, but when we're in the same division...... :twisted:

prophet:marginal · Post by **prophet:marginal** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:33 pm

At home vs Millwall, latest figures suggested that 22-24000 WHU fans paid a reduced price to enter the ground.

At Cardiff vs Preston, as many, if not more, paid for attendance and travel too.

Promotion is more important to the majority of our fans, against the prospect of 2 matches per season in the second rate division, against a team most suited to such environs.

I've got the notches, Cold Blow and New Den.

Flex away, warriors.
