3,500 plus or more bull****?

I wasn't there yesterday so just wondered if the "attendance" rang true,as that many people still turning up to see a side third bottom of the Fourth Division,on a terrible run of form and against a dismal club like Colchester seemed surprisingly high.
Or was the REAL attendance probably nearer 2,000?

Seemed higher than i expected but of course away fans can see Main Stand numbers better than those (the majority) in it. Thought it would have been more like 3000 tbh. There were more in Family Stand than GRE - freebies I presume.

I looked around and would say there were over 3000 in the main stand..Not every season ticket holder goes every match and so empty seats there..

Perhaps a view read my rallying call on here? (I doubt it) I think the crowd were great most of the time and tried to get behind the players, though I should have put don't groan when a pass goes wrong lol

We have approx 3000 season ticket holders and about another 300 who pay on the day so with the 200 odd visiting supporters the gate number was right. I felt the crowd supported the team well but we are entitled to groan at misplaced passes to the opposition when it was a regular occurrence in the first half .

You are entitled to moan and even boo if you so wish, I just wanted people to try and cheer as much as possible and try and give a positive feel on the day instead of the problems the club has had over the last few weeks

3,498 against Yeovil. Looked a similar number yesterday. Extra 50 scouts there presumably.

I'm pretty sure we have well below 3,000 season ticket holders,infact I've a feeling it's around 1,800ish.

500 more fans from Colchester than Yeovil, so perhaps that is the reason. As for the fish, chips and peas from the van. Well, they are delicious and nicely cooked. At £5 they are probably the cheapest anywhere.

No,Colchester only brought 200.
As for the chippy-when exactly did it open-mid eighties?
I've no recollection of it being there in the 70's and early 80's.

Typing error by me, sorry. Added an extra nought. 50 extra Colchester fans would account for the increase in the attendance perhaps.
