night game. people work. kids go to bed earlier on a night game. non season ticket holders may not be able to afford 2 home games on the trot. valid reasons. however, better to compare these stats.. 1st home game this season 13,107 vs ipswich http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14351931.stm 1st home game last season 18,308 vs millwall http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8881366.stm where is the missing 5201 from the start of last season?? both on a saturday filled with optimism of a new season?
