Couldn't quite hear the announcer but, just over 5000 ?
Folk must have put weight on since last season as the place seemed pretty full, apart from chav corner and some of the terracing under the East Stand.
Last season the attendance would have been given at almost 8000 for that ???

Someone just asked me that on twitter. Quite willing to show anyone the turnstile counter.

Glover lied about attendances

They all paid and thats the important thing, it will increase as the season moves on.

Thought it was a decent effort today crowd wise.

Not questioning the turnstile counter but, I would defy anyone to get an additional 5000 people in the ground
the Western Terrace looked 80% full and the Northstand maybe 70% ?

I agree it looked busy. I have been given a question mark over one of our entrances that I will be investigating this week. This fraud control is bloody hard work.

Its quite easy when you have a decent stadium just one of the many problems of being in the Belle Vue slum

But it's our "slum"

No its belongs to someone else and we have to pay highly inflated rent to suffer it.

Is it just me or do I detect something I can't quite put my finger on in a few posts made of late about the ground.

If that makes sense.
