Exactly what FdB wanted us to do , but failed will Roy get more than 4 games ?

I had to dig pretty deep online to find a site prepared to give the night's attendance, maybe there was some shame in giving it out.

Anyway 6.607 showed up for that glorified friendly.

That's a tough one to work out if you think about it.

During the 1980's, when I went more regularly than now, league gates were 5,000-6,000.

A League Cup tie would not see much off a drop-off from that.

(Remember when Big Ron's Man Utd came and kept their 100% start to the season going and the 0-0 with Sunderland, which must be the shortest featured TV highlights ever).

6,607 is absolutely abject. I did not go due to apathy from within my group, coupled with a £20.00 admission.

I can't get my head around it really. I don't think making it a fiver would suddenly see 20,000 turning up do you?

Maybe in reality we have not advanced from the 'Loyal 5,000' Steve Coppell talked about thirty years ago.
