even this season we topped their biggest crowd of 11,917'against Man City with over 13,000 against Exeter!
Good one, you do know that Oxford vs Man City was a sell out? As it was when we played them a year before. |

Won't be laughing then. |

My point exactly they will never be as big as STFC neither can they get new roles our record crowd of 32000 1972 against Arsenal |

I think that was the point. You had a sell out against Man City and we had more against Exeter. |

Not sure we can take any moral high ground on attendances when we hardly, if ever, in the last 30 years have had a full ground at the CG for this particular derby.
There are multiple CG attendances of 7/8K for our “big” rivalry

Agreed but if we get things right on the pitch it proves we have the potential for bigger crowds than them |

They were always around 10 or 11k from what I remember. The Pox never used to bring more than about 1200. Because it's a bit of a "punchy" derby quite a few from both sides would stay away. |

I guess when you're facing the prospect of playing two divisions below us, you have to cling on to possibilities like this. My point exactly they will never be as big as STFC neither can they get new roles our record crowd of 32000 1972 against Arsenal
We should probably just end football forever then. Make a table of record attendances and assign league positions directly from it. Done. No need to play any more games. I think that was the point. You had a sell out against Man City and we had more against Exeter.
If our match against Man City hadn't sold out there'd be a semblance of a point. Not sure we can take any moral high ground on attendances when we hardly, if ever, in the last 30 years have had a full ground at the CG for this particular derby.

Good to hear some reason. In 2011 I couldn't get away end tickets so gave a Swindon postcode at your box office and sat in the Arkell's. |

How very old fashioned. Clearly it should be done by comparing each club's balance sheet and ability to splurge vast quantities of corrupt regime's cash on superstar players |
