Did anyone get the attendance today??
BBC has it at 2,223. Just can't believe anywhere near that. Capacity is over 7000. where would 5,000 extra fans have gone?

Nobody is going to believe that figure - you'd have to get three times as many people in to get to capacity, and that clearly wasn't feasible

sportinglife have it the same, Bradford end was overflowing and a large percentage of the main stand was ours aswell

Add a minimum of 1000 to that. All the main stands were full. The side stands were full. Plenty people behind sticks at bottom of slope.

I say about 3.5k there I was at the game as a cas fan jeez you used your get out of jail card in this game.

Doubt anyone who was at game believes batleys figure. Would guess at 4k+

One of the external auditors at a company I worked for told me their most unpopular job was the audit for a professional football club (old Division 2). The audit partner didnt believe the announced attendances (usualy in the region of 15,000) so had the junior staff standing outside the turnstiles counting people going in. A great way to spend a Saturday afternnon, and effectively unpaid.

Not that I'm saying that Batley would deliberately understate the attendance.

That's exactly what they've done.

Misquoted or not I thought that the way they catered for the away fans was a credit. Stewards who were helpful & friendly and bar staff who were switched on & cheerful will do for me.

They were very lucky indeed to get a win from that game. Batley played very well indeed.

More than just lucky mate - I reckon if we were a cat we would have lost one of our nine lives....

Something's wrong somewhere. Either the capacity is significantly less than 7,500 or the attendance yesterday was significantly more than 2,223. There is no way 5,000 more people could fit in that ground.
