The attendance versus Rotherham.

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We had those in the early 60's, used to be on the running track at the Platt Lane end

My uncle had one. He used to take my auntie and cousin in it when they went shopping, like 3 sardines in a can: )

Over 6000 more than Spurs -Chelsea last night. Just sayin.

I watched it last night. The commentator said 'Top tiers empty for tonights game, but still a fantastic turn out'. Where we get derided and scorned at if we get 45,000 for a semi. Fucking Hypocritical bastards!

Well they've reduced attendances to 51k once they decided they are staying at wembely! But still down around 7k

I’ll put in a good word for you when we’re deciding who to kick out then.

Tbh there were rows empty on Sunday, not just the odd seat.
Yet the 93:20 bars seemed as busy as usual

Somebody has to keep the bar staff busy!!

I was at the Notts County game and seem to remember Jimmy Sirrell being sent out to quell the away fans which didn't work for some inexplicable reason. Is my memory playing tricks ?

I've also a vague memory of Sirrell running up and down the roof of a stand (the one opposite the Main Stand) as the game went on shouting to his players from above (but it may have been my memory playing tricks)

 

[Gary James]

There's also something in my mind telling me that semi draw had already been made before we played Reading as well, that's probably rubbish but if it's the case it makes the low crowd perhaps even stranger.

It was made on the day before the game - I remember seeing it in City Square, so unlikely to have affected the crowd as it'd be too late to change your mind and buy/not buy.
