| Should attendances be taken into account for the outcome of the season? 14:22 - May 13 with 2430 views | Ash1987 |
Some people will disagree entirely, but if you cannot finish the season then there has to be other things to consider as it is not a fair and complete competition. There are loads of proposals, points per game, playoffs, end the season in current position, even weighting of your home and away form. The amount of fans turning up has to play a part, you cannot promote a team and end the season now for a team who is 1 point ahead of another club yet they get 15,000 less fans at home. The home support for the club who get thousands more will likely play a big part near the end of the season.
The top 3 average attendances in the league are Portsmouth, Sunderland and Ipswich. For example, look at the league table, Portsmouth average 11,000 more at home than Oxford do, Oxford are directly above them in the league, so for every thousand more fans Portsmouth get they 0.5 points added to their current total if the season cannot be completed. Do this for every club in the league for the team above you. If they have a higher attendance above you then you don't get any points. The team at the top of the league will compare to the team 2nd as no one above them.
There has to be alternative proposals than some of those on the team currently.

No.
How can it be fair that a team that is one point ahead with 9 games left gets promoted, when the team 1 point below for example has thousands more home fans that will likely play a big part to the end of the season. The team slightly below will in all likelihood finish above the team 1 point head near the end of the season with sellout crowds.
How is it fair to promote the top 3 when any of 7/8 teams below, excluding attendances for a second, could easily overtake? | | | |

Did the 4,000 Pompey who got stranded on the M6 due to 150 odd coaches breaking down, get home ok? |  |

If the Lambert era has shown us anything, it’s that Portman Road could be sold out for every home game and our heroes would only be able to serve up a run of 1-1 draws at best. |  | | |

They are now wandering around the Wembley area,two metres apart of course,waiting for the other 350,000 supporters joining them for the game against Salford. |  | | |

You're quite obsessed with massive attendances, aren't you? |  |

No i'm not.
Ipswich still have a great chance of playoffs.
How is it fair Oxford will finish 3rd if the season ended now, above Portsmouth, on goal difference? Portsmouth get many more fans and that will make a big difference come the remaining home games.
Same with Sunderland and their push for the playoffs.
Instead of everyone dismissing what i am saying, actually think about what I am proposing and it makes sense. | | | |

Because league tables are an accurate reflection of how teams have performed up to any given point in a season.
"Ipswich still have a great chance of playoffs."
Wrong again. | |

That now makes 2 people who believe that we have a great chance of the play-offs one is a useless idiot of a manager and the other is you. No one else believes we have even the slightest chance. | | | |

Yes but as the season is incomplete you cannot promote a team who has a slightly better goal difference.
I am sure there will be legal challenges from Portsmouth, Fleetwood, Peterborough etc and rightly so.
Complete the season. | | | |

By the way if Portsmouth are so massive how come they finished well below us in the recent all time average attendance. And don’t give us that old crap about how your grounds not big enough. Even when it was larger in the 80a you still didn’t fill it. |  | | |

You utter c0ckwomble.
It's not as if Portsmouth's 'oh-so-massive' attendances have helped them to overhaul Oxford in the 35 matches they've played so far, and Oxford's goal-difference isn't 'slightly' better than Portsmouth's - it's almost 50% better!

Ipswich aren't above Portsmouth in all time attendances. Portsmouth have soldout all but 2 home games this season in the league. With better facilities that would attract more fans too.
Portsmouth record crowd is 51,385 and Ipswich's is 38,000. Portsmouth have exceeded 40,000 many times. Ipswich haven't once got over 40k.
Portsmouth are probably the biggest club outside the Premiership's big 6. | | | |
