An excellent 3,111 there today, well done to everybody who went.
Wrexham had just over 10,000, their biggest home crowd of the season. Stockport had 9,200. Along with ourselves and Notts County, this demonstrates that collectively these teams are getting larger attendances than probably any other NL season.
I think most, if not all, of the top half in this league could comfortably hold their own in League 2 with their current squads. |

Honestly the worst ground i have ever visited, the way all the town fans were cattled into that shitty away end was disgraceful for £21, they could have put the 20 Kings lynn fans further up the side and gave that to town so we could actually see.
The game could have been 5 nil but for dodgy finishing, the pitch was excrement the atmosphere was excrement and it felt like a friendly probably due to the excrement view everyone had to endure.
Hope i never have to return.

Crazy to think that Kings Lynn made more money from us today than we did from Stockport on Friday.
How do you work that out? Based on 3000 STHs we had 4,800 paying punters against Stockport. I don't know how many STHs King's Lynn have but i imagine a few hundred of the 3,100 crowd have a ST at over £500 a pop may I add! The Premier Seating tickets for todays game (where JT had an obstructed view of both goals) were £26 a pop! |

I assume he's talking about the money KL made from us (1800+ fans) vs what we made from Stockport (1450 fans) |

Yes I am (and also the fact we charged £1 less, or £2 less than those who got a seat), edited original post to make this clear. |

We won. It could’ve been 5. View was atrocious, cost to get in was a rip off, fans scattered about and poor view impacted mood and thr opportunities to create an atmosphere.
Hopefully we never have to return.
The end…

Would just say that Hurst showing his lack of enthusiasm for the performance of those who came in I can understand in a sense of setting standards but I don't agree he should have done it.
Players like Mani & Abrahams hardly get a sniff, there aren't any reserve games so to expect them a third into a game to work as a front two and hit the ground running and to be match fit/sharp is a bit unrealistic.
Same for Wright with his time out and Fox also returning from injury.
Hurst gambled with all the changes today, got away with it, choosing to go with recovering and bit part players was a gamble, he can say players need to be prepared all he likes but every player knows there is no substitute for playing time to achieve that.

I was thinking that it ranked slightly above Belle Vue, Donny before they were relegated out of the league - when they had the cage, as the second-worst away end. The 4 of us today climbed into the Disabled enclosure (as did a few others) so we could see ok. The steward, about 2 yards away, was rigorously executing his duties guarding the gate into it and the onward route to the seats, and deflecting many creative arguments from Town fans as to why they should be allowed through. He ignored the fence climbing. My daughter observed that was probably because his allocated task was to guard the gate - and he would have to consult his supervisor to expand his duties to stopping fencing climbing. Going back to Belle Vue, in the pre-cage days the view was ok, that was when the away end was not a terrace but a kind of mound made of slag and clinker. It must have been scary back in 72 mind when I understand most of the 12k crowd were Town. |

If you get chance have a listen to the Max Wright interview with JT today.
He’s well aware he’s got little chance of a contract but is clearly just desperate to play and be fit. I really hope he is over his injury troubles he always comes across as a smashing kid.
He was cramping after 55 minutes today and only really showed little flashes of his quality, worked really hard though.
