The crowds will still hold up well around the 45 000 mark I suspect. But  What's this nonsense about league one about . seriously the club has never been out the top 2 leagues in its 130 year existence and its not happening now . Kind of shit only closet yids could dream up .

[Massive Attack]

I think Burnley will be one going straight back down out of the newly promoted Clubs. Think Forest will have just enough under Dyche.

[Fauxstralian]

If Coventry & Boro come up they may well be replaced by Forest & Wolves
Wednesday will go down to be replaced by Cardiff

Our Championship crowds will be affected more by Sullivan still being there than the opposition 

[Mad Ferret]

If we are relegated what kind of average home gate do you think we would get in that already souless mausoleum?

I suspect for financial and operational reasons certain fixtures would see part of the upper tiers shut and a totally sterile atmosphere about the place.

Some interesting away trips to grounds we haven't visited in a while could be seen as a positive but make no mistake a drop into the second tier would only add to the slow death of our beloved club under the current regime with no guarantees of a swift return and possibly with the level of incompetence we have seen so far the opposite scenario  playing out with further drops.

Happy days eh 
 

We’d average around 40k, I’d imagine.

Would be certain games of 50k+ though, especially those against the clubs with big away followings.

A title-clinching game, or dare I say it, a play-off game, would be a sellout, I reckon.

Best league in the world. Anyone who says otherwise is talking bollocks.

They won't be in it next season all highly likely to be in different divisions now. Bristol City could be another. Look forward instead to Stevenage Broadhall Way 7,000 and Lincoln City Cincil Bank of around 10,000. Even Millwall could possibly bypass us at this rate with that exciting Derby gone.

Relegation should always be feared as there is absolutely no guarantee of a fast promotion. Yes, we were promoted after two seasons in 2005 and after one season in 2012, but there is no guarantee we won't do a Luton and spiral down to League 1 if we were to fall through the trap door this season (highly likely at this stage).

And we are one of the ten biggest clubs in England ( I would say we are the tenth biggest behind Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle). It would make us a total laughing stock to go down yet again. Just like it made Aston Villa and Newcastle laughing stocks when they went down.

Just have a look at the BBC HYS comments every time we lose. Everyone laughs at us because they thought the fans hounded Moyes out. Those idiots don't realise Sullivan is the real cancer rotting the club.

Lazy morons just repeating what they are spoon-fed - which is largely arse gravy.

Moyes wasn't sacked - he refused to sign a new contract that out illustrious ownership drew up for him to sign.

His deteriorating relationship with the fans was absolutely nothing compared to the contempt between him and BS. I think it was only ever David Gold who he had some kind of mutual respect with.

The last 18 months of his tenure in the league were largely a disaster. It's not unreasonable for the fans to be upset with that. The mistake he made was not to go out on a career high point after winning the conference league.

It was generally accepted that it was the logical thing to do.

Nobody was to know how much more incompetent the meddling of our owners was likely to get. We knew they were flakey but I don't think anybody thought they would end up spunking the Declan Rice money as badly as they have.

But here we are...that is exactly what has come to pass

If we do go down I'm going to miss the streams, mostly.  I won't miss dreading going to Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal etc, and we can finally avenge Wrexham.

There’s a couple of thousand at the England vs Brazil match although I’m sure we’ll be told it’s a 60,000 sell out.

Thinking ahead, to the season after next, how good are the crowds in League 1?

A Stark reality.

I’m ok with it, games are better and the competition is more evenly balanced. Makes for some good games.

The only people it hurts are the greedy owners. Hopefully we go down and stay there.

I'm not. All due respect to you being an overseas supporter but you wouldn't have to put up with the horrific thought of going in to that Stadium whilst possibly taking on the likes of Stevenage. That's going to be the reality that will dawn on everyone should we do the unthinkable and go down. The difference before was being at The Boleyn when it was enjoyable in the Championship as it was still raw and gritty in an actual Football Stadium with character where it was still fun. However the thought of having to see West Ham stage games in that Stadium even should BS finally fuck off is still a dreadful proposition.

I don't want to stay there long term but if it gets the current twats out then where do I sign? 

Its' a huge risk now. The problem is we could fill UP in the championship and it was a daunting place for sides to come. I reckon that bowl is going to be half full at best in the Championship and it'll be like a training game for visiting sides. Plus that cսnt Sullivan wont fuck off when his valuation has been cut in half. He'll want to get us back up first.

2026/27 Championship season

London Stadium official average attendance - 00,009.

That's just the Directors left in the corporate box that care anymore to put up with that junk in that Shithole Stadium.
