I presume it has now been lowered as they wouldn't have been able to afford the extra stewarding for checking Covid passes when they were required as I believe 10,000 was the threshold for it?

Port Said Red Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I am sure they will be glued to their TV tonight counting all the empty seats at the gate, laughing about how our ground is too big for us, conveniently forgetting that - it is on TV; on a Bank Holiday Monday evening; That a lot of those empty seats will have been sold; It's a dead rubber for us; It will still be around twice their "sold out" stadium capacity.

big dosser Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 the reason the capacity of the dump is lower is due to patio seats are a lot wider than normal seats up the vale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey - you're getting your excuses in early! All seaters always make the gaps more visible - with terraces, people just spread out a bit more, so you don't get the empty spaces, like you do in a stadium with unused seats. I would think you'll get a decent turn out, people who've done the family stuff during the day can still attend, without it impacting on time with the kids etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be interested to hear what sort of reception DC is given by your travelling fans, both before and after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still there’s the uncomfortable fact an awful lot of their attendances started with a 6 or 7 this season. Just means that even on a bad day for us we'll still get double the attendance and these will be genuine fans not 'Glory Hunters' as the Gas seem to be attracting lately Edited April 18, 2022 by E.G.Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Starting to really really hate Elliott Anderson. He is single handedly keeping the Gas in the play offs. No-one else is scoring for them, and he is the difference unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 They need to go up or that team will be broken up. The 2 young centre backs are being scouted by teams higher up the pyramid for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Rochdale and Scunthorpe. Wouldn’t be surprised if they won there remaining 3 games and got 3rd. Gits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
