Also, something is wrong here, but I'd guess out average is ~8k :

But have Cov really fallen to a 10K average? Massive.

For some reason the beeb gave our attendance against the Franchise as 18k and the stats went with it, thus the stupidly high average

Ken Beamish

Behave CS....Beamish's season was nothing like as bad 2 years ago....we had a strike force of Quinn, Rowland and Mayes reached the 4th round of the cup.  Ok it wasn't a great season, but DV is essentially right, there are only a couple of seasons which rival 10/11....32/33 and 55/56, both of which had somewhat extenuating circumstances, of Sam Allen's last season and the Board not appointing a manager, but choosing to pick the side themselves.

There are maybe a couple of octagenarians about who remember the 55/56 season, but 10/11 is really a stand alone.

...which is incredible considering the on paper squads of 05/06 and 10/11

On most measures, 2010/11 was one of the poorest seasons in our 130+ year history.  Certainly up there (or down there) in the bottom 4 or 5.  When you consider that we have only spent 5 or 6 seasons in the bottom tier - and that at least half of those were promotion seasons - it has to come close.

Oh, and what is the opposite of stratospheric?  Not sure myself, but that's the word that would have to describe Coventry's decline/slump down the rankings.  There was a thread a while back asking where all of Swansea's new fans had come from during the last 5 years.  Now we know: Coventry.  Barely managing a 5 figure average attendance at home these days in a 32,000 seater stadium?  Not good.

Trollope was a worse manager than Beamish - although to get a side relegated with players of the calibre of Mayes, Rowland, Miller etc was a piss poor effort

If you're going to pass judgement on managers, at least get your facts right....Mayes and Miller had gone, JT was trying to bring through a team of local kids, because as usual we were broke. The relegation season, we got 52 points normally enough to stay up...shame we didn't, because the policy of trying to develop your own players, has much to commend it.

Surely 80/81 Mayes Rowland and Miller all played a huge chunk of the games

But there again, it was 81/82 for relegation - was that Bobby Smith?

Just remember that Newport game

That season wasnt the worst it was the following 2 or 3, that really was dire, I remember watching us struggle to draw with rochdale in front of about 2.5k, then Lou came and saved us. Last year was probably just better than those.

Our away attendances last season were not that different, seeing as they were Championship and we were Leeeeeeague 2, Leeeeeeeeague 2

Think the Town fan conducts himself well, some good bites

Not quite an octogenarian but the late 50's were dire as well - only kept in Divvy 3 South by the old pals act coming into play via re-elections. Luckily along came Bert Head and we were up and running in the 60's which was the start of our ever continuing up and down ride where the Town are concerned.
