WHAT WAS CROWD TODAY?

How many there for development game today?

Looked a couple of thousand. Bigger than some crowds I've been in at Ninian!

And had pic taken with trophy.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

actually for some reason not everyone was counted and the stewards reckoned there was more than 3,500 people in attendance today

don't think the club were expecting that many to turn up

Think there was a fair few more than that tbh, as loads of people entering failed to scan their entrance tickets, as they had been asked to do! :ayatollah:

A lot wern't given tickets to get in, and quite a few didn't bother scanning their tickets, it looked more than 2572

Shambles about 4000 easy but what pissed me off was how many had their photo done with the Trophy ???? My guess is not many. I don't know what the cost would have been but what a missed opportunity by the Club, I was told any time between 2 and 5 pm you could get your photo done, however as everyone was in the queue we were told there was no more photos left, What they run out of film ???? The bottom line was I guess they didn't expect so many turning up.
Still on the plus side although we lost the game I thought we played very well with a lot of potential coming through the ranks, so the future looks good as well.

But I really wanted my photo with the Trophy :lol: :ayatollah: :malky:

Don't know why you were told they couldn't take any more photos, as my boy had his taken around 6pm, at least 30 minutes or so after the game had finished!

We went into the main enterance at about 14.15, sercurity told us to go and queue up for photo tand seat tickets at Gate 2 , the queue was very long, a lot longer than our normal queues on match days, The stewart then walked the length of the queue shouting out No more photos will be taken with the Trophy. As we got to the gate they then run out of tickets and had to go get more from somewhere, then we were told to go straight to the Stands etc. Nicky Maynard was having lots of photos with fans at Half time though, he seems a really good guy. Just hope they they give us another opportunity :ayatollah: :malky:

The queue was very long, but they kept on taking photos until everybody that wanted one, got one!

Hope you get another chance mate! :ayatollah:

I queued at Corporate entrance 2 from around 2ish and to wait an hour and 45 mins but I got my photo and they were still taking them when I went to sit down and watch the 2nd half.

Sounds like I was misled by the stewards and the Ssecurity guy in main reception then, but it wasn't just me it was most of us in the queue etc, one women in front of me actually challanged the Stewart who said no more photos but he just carried on walking the length of the queue shouting out No more Photos. :(
