No way. Reminds me of the tony clemo days when ninian park would fall silent when they read out the attendance, then everyone would burst out laughing.

I remember those days but the difference was the ground would be half full and they gave the figure at around 4000

Yeah great days. Most would risk breaking their neck getting in for nothing by climbing up that huge wall at the back of the bob bank.

Season ticket holders always included even if they don't turn up I believe. :ayatollah:

Seems about right to me, at most matches (not just ours) it is quite usual for up to ten percent of season ticket holders to not turn up, yet they must still be included in teh attendance because they have in theory paid for a ticket.

Yeah your right. Few of the usual emptys in family stand but otherwise pretty full. Early kick offs dont help. How much longer do we have to put up with these weird kick off time shit. This seasons worse than ever.

Seemed spot on to me, half time it's usually half empty in the bar areas and sat I could hardly move. Couldn't even find my dad for a half time pint which never happens. Most the corners were a lot fuller as well.
