Fuckwittery great word.soapy_jones said:BTW. Is that the housing rising on the land we rather stupidly sold off a couple of years ago behind the East?
It is nice to know that the fuckwittery is not exclusive to this bunch, it's just that they have taken it up a couple of notches...2 -
I'd imagine there were circa 13,000 there in real life - which is around 50% of the capacity which is absolutely abysmal on a football for a fiver match day.3

Having seen pictures of the West and East stands, allied to Rochdale bringing so few, and I simply cannot see how the ground was, by official reckoning, more than half full. It just doesn't add up.0

I wish I'd taken a suitcase of soap with me yesterday - I'd have made a nice few bob. football for a fiver should be renamed "the invasion of the great unwashed"6

If you take out what we know about the Jimmy Seed - capacity and Rochdale turnout - the official attendance would require the home stands to be 60 per cent occupied. In practice you never get much more than 85 per cent of season tickets used and 75-80 per cent is quite likely. Plus with £5 tickets they get bought and not used, and there are always unused comps. So I'd say the home support was probably under 12,000, which is about 50 per cent occupancy in home stands.mogodon said:Having seen pictures of the West and East stands, allied to Rochdale bringing so few, and I simply cannot see how the ground was, by official reckoning, more than half full.

There was about 5000 in the West, 3000 in he East & I'd guess about 5,000 in the North, plus a few hundred from Rochdale.mogodon said:Having seen pictures of the West and East stands, allied to Rochdale bringing so few, and I simply cannot see how the ground was, by official reckoning, more than half full.

3000 in the East would be 50% occupancy. I may be wrong but it doesn't look that that from this photo.1 -

The view from the directors box shows the East Stand to be almost full. 8)4

I agree the east was well under 50 per cent (5,800-ish out of 23,700), but it is the smallest home stand. 2,000 east, 4,500 west, 5,500 north would be enough.0

I have to say there were loads more seated at 3.20 then there were at 3.05, because I remarked at the time, how much the attendance swelled after KO. I wonder when the photo was taken ? Not that it's of much consequence.0

I have a photo of the west taken from the east but I don't know how to add it, I seem to need a url so presumably I have to host it on the internet somewhere first?0

Several trains were cancelled including the one that arrives from London/Greenwich just before 2.30 and the following one was delayed, which would explain why quite a few were late to their seats.Covered End said:I have to say there were loads more seated at 3.20 then there were at 3.05, because I remarked at the time, how much the attendance swelled after KO.

Oh, and the fact it was almost a locked on Rochdale win. :-(
I was in lower north and the concourse was full at half time but empty beforehand.

A lot of people seemed to be clueless as to where they were supposed to be sitting. That might explain it??Covered End said:I have to say there were loads more seated at 3.20 then there were at 3.05, because I remarked at the time, how much the attendance swelled after KO.

They'll be announcing crowd changes rather than team changes soon.2 -

You could have put everybody in the three central blocks, 2,000 absolute maximum.Airman Brown said:

Not quite what is was, eh? In the days the football sold itself, Katrien. And we didn't even need a bloody sofa to get people to come.

The pair of them could do a better job in centre midfield than the current dross.cantersaddick said:
