I would have been there but family stand sold out and on a budget i cant afford to take my 2 lads into other parts of the ground-family stand costs £28 against £56 in Ninian Stand.

wilts that's 1 of the things that needs addressing .

people taking kids should pay the same cost in all parts of the ground not just the familly section especially if it's sold out

Attendance slightly up on same fixture last year (16 Oct). A number of teams in Championship had poor attendances this w/e eg., Ipswich only 18k.

Our opening attenance last year was 20,573.

More importantly, I thought the support and atmosphere was good. :ayatollah:

Things must be pretty good when anyone is dissapointed at a nearly 23,000 crowd. How many did worzels bring, 700?

The family stand has been extended to the block between Grandstand and Canton so maybe best to call the office for family deal?
