14-15,000 I would guess, quite a few will be on holiday, so until September I don't think you will get a true gauge of where the regular attendances will be.
Although I have bought a membership, I won't be there for Bristol as I'm off to a gig (King King at The Devil's Arse, Castleton) I won't miss many.
A copy of the Victor, and Valiant, with a quarter of wine gums every Saturday morning was how part of my pocket money was spent.
20 days after getting an under 10 zero cost seat I have now been asked for a copy of his proof of age
Greatest episode ever was when he sat down to his fish supper then Aunt Meg exclaimed "Oh no, our Alf, the balmy ha'porths have only gone and jolly well forgotten the curry sauce. Chip shop closes in just under 4 minutes anarl". Alf jumps up and sets off running to the chip shop, and meets a contingent of local public schoolboys who try to run him off the road on their posho boy bicycles. Alf leaps over their bikes like discarded hurdles and then runs to the chip shop in under 4 minutes, breaking the English record (and the world record too but somehow that just seemed less important), got his curry sauce and wryly mouthed to the chip shop proprietor "No stuck up rich boy toffs can keep Alf Tupper from having curry sauce on his fish. I ran 'em all!” An absolute classic.
Speaking of the Valiant I'm seeing Ernie as Captain Hurricane, and Maggot Malone, his batman, will be Rovertiger.
It might be a generic e-mail. I provided proof some time ago but got an e-mail yesterday afternoon saying "have you provided proof of age?". Rang up & they had the proof of age on file, then post arrived with my & granddaughter membership cards so we're sorted.
