The 1979-83 period looks pretty good; 1987 is also good (the club was competitive that season, finishing 91-71). Olympic Stadium was undeniably a problem for the club; recall that in 1992 a structural problem forced the club to play 13 home games on the road. The 1994-95 strike also hit the club hard.

New ballparks tend to result in boosted attendance for a team for about three seasons on average. This 'new stadium' effect has been looked at in several studies.
