So much for the 20,000.
Not in this league for a mid week match, especially after the Lincoln defeat.

It felt dead walking to the stadium and could tell it would be a low crowd when I saw how sparse it was in Canton concourse pre match.

Its like watching ballet though!

It is so clever and intricate that it leaves you purring, chuckling, and admiring the cleverness rather than getting you out of your seat.

Spoke to a steward before the game. They said they were told there'd be around 16000 announced but to expect a quiet 13,000 - 14,000 there.

I was at that game. The start was delayed because they couldn't get everyone into Ninian Park in time.

Pathetic attendance

The team let us down but our support is poor

Not exactly entertaining watching is it although I'd say there was about half the fans who was in the ground Vs Lincoln there last night that's what it looked like to me despite the Season tickets announced and walk ups although hardly any of them probably. Shocking it is just like the atmosphere it's beyond dire in my opinion. You know it's dead when you can walk out half time for a Fag and be back in your seat within 5 minutes :lol:

That's true. I had a vape, bought a pint, drunk it and was back for the start of the second half.

Club should do cheap tickets mid week for family stand, maybe give free tickets to schools for kids and parents. Even if they don’t receive money for tickets, they will make on food and drink.

Don’t see any advertising on socials etc either which would be a good start to get people there.

I didn't go last night and watched on TV and have to say that I was nodding off after 35 minutes! :bluebird:

Awful attendance..can use all the excuses going but poor from our fans..
Also , support needed now more than ever, so quiet …nervousness gets through to the young players..
No excuse about belated performances.. get behind the team…

Who wants to pay to watch tippy tappy football with no end product against the better league 1 teams. Same tactics same mistakes, yet the manager expects a different result. It was bad enough watching the game on tv.

Sadly, it won’t! Tan is not the reason our crowd (some in the Canton apart) are unusually quiet and unsupportive during a bloody good season!

Lethargy? Over-expectation? I’m not sure; but it’s consistent until the really big games come to town and the day trippers step off the buses!
