You're deluding yourself Roma. From your own link it shows that 2,3, and 4 thousand gates have been the average you've had every year between 1982 and 2012. i.e the vast majority of the last THIRTY YEARS.
You go on to say "yeah but you only got better crowds than us for 3 years because Billy Dearden had a succesful team and you had a new ground" HALLO why do you think your crowds improved?
You mention Brown but even under him you were still inexplicably allowed to get promoted meaning your proven cheating crimes went largely unpunished. We had 15 years of asset stripping and 5 years in the Conference.
Finally nobody outside of this board is laughing at little old me, sunshine. However the way CFC is being run has become a nationwide joke. Face it fella, you know it and I know it, the whole of this messageboard knows it. CFC is a club in crisis, it's undeniable. You've never had it so bad.

Toot Toot!
p.s It's against my religion to gamble.
Is it against your religion to be duplicitous?
Y'see I notice you've conveniently added a '4' when referring to our crowd averages, which once again confirms what I've been saying all along. Sure we witnessed two and three thousand averages during our worst seasons but, as you've finally accepted, many more were four-plus. I notice there're no more false claims of us being 'perennial Div 4 strugglers', either.
Hey, I had faith you'd get there in the end.
Then I can see it still kills you that the season featuring your hilarious four-nil humiliation at Saltergate followed by our virtual annexation of Mansfield and occupation of three sides of Field Mill ended in our promotion. Overcoming penalties twice decided upon by an independent panel, by the way. Strange, isn't it; we suffer at the hands of a fraudster subsequently jailed for his behaviour and it's the same old bitter spite. Yet despite never even being charged with any football related crimes you still bleat about the twenty years of misery Sir Keith supposedly inflicted. The same Sir Keith who delivered a new stadium - summat your small band of followers were happy to brag about when we were at Saltergate, two play offs and a promotion. And haven't you enjoyed a 'dream come true' FL return funded by a multi-millionaire so-called 'lifelong fan' since then? A Wembley visit, too? Huh, so much for two decades of torture.
Or is it just more of the duplicity I spoke of.
As for 'never had it so bad', we were left within hours of possible extinction by Brown. That was pretty 'bad'. However the entire Chesterfield community rallied 'round to save their local outfit. Indeed I seem to remember one of our clubs returning to being a 'perennial Div 4 struggler' whilst the other stayed up despite everything. Guess which.
But then to misquote our friends 'The Human League', our worst usually has been better than your best.
'Toot-toot'.
PS: Evans had any of those bids you were so desperate to tell us about accepted, yet? You'll learn...
