cider hoss rules Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) Mate of mine is a Pool fan, he went down to the swamp today. I specifically asked what their shiny new stand was like, his answer “half empty” Said he was glad it wasn’t raining and that he managed to avoid using their facilities during his stay. Still reckons it’s the worst ground in the FL by miles. Edited January 20 by cider hoss rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know that the away support only come to see the Gas, so they count as well.

Someone on there claimed the attendance was 8000 including 500 from Blackpool, and asked where everyone was from Wednesday. They were immediately labelled as a though. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBibs Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 1 hour ago, weepywall said: 10.076 That’s not quite how it works Weepywall. The attendance will of course be claimed as over 10,000 but the correct process with their attendances is to start with the actual much lower attendance and gradually increase it over a number of posts until the fictional figure is arrived at and made into a ‘fact’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10,076 was the attendance for the fixture in Blackpool. The Gas will ‘adopt’ that number because it is much less embarrassing than the truth. Also, there would have been 32,000 there but the balloon festival is only a few months away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if they had more than 8,000, why should they have any more?

RedLionLad Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Don’t they give out their attendance near the end of the game like all other clubs in the league? Maybe their abacus isn’t working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meant that 7500 was about 90/95% of their potential gate, while our 22k was a mere 80% of our capacity. (See references to gas logic antea) The sudden increase of capacity without the forecast increase in actual supporters will be a disaster for them from this perspective alone. One also has to wonder what incentive there is for the owners to invest in other parts of the ground if there is no discernable increase in attendance and income from that expenditure.
