and if a Club cannot sustain PL football would that still apply , I remember the new stand being closed due to the fall in attendances . 20 to 30k stadiums for Swansea & Cardiff is ample.Once a Club gets established in the PL then it makes sense to expand but neither have managed that so far.HarriRhys22 wrote:So little clubs like Bournemouth,Luton and the Jacks who invest all their money in players rather than increasing the capacity of their stadium because they know they haven’t got the fan base are top of this League? Doesn’t make sense, to be a Premier League you should have a 30k Stadium minimum?

If Luton expanded to 30,000... they still won’t be a big club as half that stadium would be empty and the atmosphere rubbish.
A bit like the CCS when the PL ST sales disappear. You average about 16,000 in that scenario. That figure would put you in 21st place with 48% and see you slotted just above Wigan.

Cardiff currently have the 7th highest average attendance in the league filling 70% of the ground and Swansea are 14th filling 78% of the ground. 70% of 33,000 or 78% of 20,000, I know which one id prefer. That’s with 1 Saturday game so far and one game being on tv as well.
I don’t think a Swansea can talk about atmosphere either. Cardiff have never had to play crowd noise through speakers to create an atmosphere. And that was in the premier league with the stadium near enough at capacity. Now that is truly embarrassing!

All my opinions are backed up, cited and laced with common sense. It really is futile to attempt to suggest they aren't, I'm sure people will learn.

Haha you can see when you become desperate as you feel the need to post links. Too easy. I wouldn’t read too much into those rankings either. I’ve been to the majority of the grounds on there and can tell you the rankings don’t hold much value. Palace, they give it a good go but it’s a very small section of the ground that actually makes much noise. But then again, it’s easier to make more noise in a poxy little stadium.
The thread was created and quickly dismissed by everyone as a pointless stat. You were the one who started talking about attendances and atmospheres. You might not have named teams but you were clearly referring to Cardiff and Swansea. I’ll sure you’ll deny that as well, as you usually do. You opinion was also nonsense by the way. Arsenal and Chelsea, two big grounds at full capacity, were probably the worst grounds I’ve been to in terms of atmosphere. It was non-existent. The Majority of fans (not just Cardiff fans) that actually attend games, I’m guessing you don’t, would agree with me on that. So your opinion that a higher % automatically means a better atmosphere is well wide of the mark and not common sense at all.
So far this season our home attendance (on average) is officially the 7th highest in the league. Regardless of season ticket sales from last season, that is a fact. All teams include season ticket sales in match day attendances regardless if they attend or not, so realistically all the values stated would be lower.
I’ll just leave you with the this link before I leave the thread:

Top atmosphere sure. Truly embarrassing.

It's common sense that a fuller ground generally lends itself to a better atmosphere. You are just dismissing it because you aren't doing well in such stats.
the footballing community seem to really rate our PL atmosphere, we are consistently in the top 10 as I showed (top 3 there) where as you are always in the bottom 5. I am guessing why you seem to have taken this to heart?

Nope, most people would take 75% of ground filled and a better atmosphere than 48% of ground filled and worse atmosphere for 2,000-ish extra people. That much is once again very obvious.

They are unofficial figures so you can play with them as much as you want.
But using the 15,000 and 18,000 figures you have used, that 3000 difference equates to 20% of your average. Pretty substantial amount. So again, a sensible fan would prefer a significant increase in attendance over a higher %. More fans more money. Pretty obvious.
