I was in school back then it was great, in the old first division we would always be mid to low table so we had no expectations, we lived for the odd scalp like beating united 5-1 at Manie Road, we went around school for a full year after saying to united fans, "what time is it? ..5 past Leighton"
We have always been a big top 20 club in England hence why we still have the attendance record outside of wembley but our support is more local and working class, we don't get many day trippers like united and Liverpool (yet ) and the stadium is full or almost full every weekend, our average attendance this season is 52.137 not bad is it? midweek is a different story for various reasons but we get decent number at weekends when family's are off work and school, i myself haven't been to a game for a while, cost's a small fortune for all 6 of us and i'd rather spend that money on my 4 children, especially when i will get to see the game at some point on sky sports, you could say i'm an armchair supporter these days now i have a family of my own
