There's been a lot said about attendances on here lately and the many reasons that are causing this problem at the moment. Tomorrow night is a home game in a cup that very few fans care much for and is on the same night as an England Euro qualifier. So just to bring a bit of light heartedness to the situation, what's everyone's attendance prediction for the game? I don't know what our record low home gate is for a competitive match (anyone know?), but it wouldn't surprise me if it gets beaten tomorrow. 950 is my guess.
the lowest in my memory is 1,002, which i believe was from the northampton tinpot game. i reckon the attendence will be 932, including 21 from bristol
terrible attendence tonight; however no surprise really given the reputation of the compitition, the fact england played that night and the teams form
I wonder what it would have been had it not been free for under 16's to get in. They should have sent a couple of players to a few schools on Mon and Tues this week to promote the game and made it £2 entry for everyone, adults included. All very well letting kids in for nowt but if the adults still have to pay £20 to get in and £10 on food, a free childs place is merely a token gesture.
Usually I still go to these matches, but I just could not be bothered last night. For me the trophy holds no significance at all.
