I know nothing about art, but a bit like an old master painting of a classic landscape or study of people, there is so much to see. The more you look, the more it reveals - the expressions, the thoughts. It's like the opening lines of "Once in a Lifetime' And you may find yourself playing in a rundown stadium And you may find yourself wishing for another part of the world And you may find yourself wearing a jesters costume And you may find yourself on an open top bus on an empty street And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" 4 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason Google may have failed you for once is that they seemed to change their attendance on a fortnightly basis throughout this season. Only the most cynical would say this was done to match whatever numbers came through the door that week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot lower, but they rank in the same League . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 1 hour ago, BCFC11 said: Ok so bit of fact checking here. Below is a training ground with driveway, car park with many cars, and turning space for coaches. Alongside is a substantial building incorporating stand adjacent to a pitch with dug outs and full perimeter barriers. To the right are 2 full size pitches and below is an area with markings that suggest training for set pieces And then we have (at the same scale), a driveway with some gravel and 4 cars. A small t shaped building and another building down a path and then a field with the grass mown in pretty patterns. Yep identical. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their average was around 1100 earlier in the season after big away games at Derby and Reading and they’ve had plenty of sub 500 away followings in the last few months at places like Vale, Stevenage, Fleetwood and Lincoln. L1’s away averages for the season haven’t been published (as far as I can see) but it’ll be below 1k again. We averaged 1400 and we sold out something like 10 away games, far more than they did.

This is in exactly the same way that Newcastle ranked with Man City & Arsenal in the title race. Fewer away fans than Reading, who let’s face it had a poor season, really is shit.

Open End Numb Legs Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 With my serious head on this morning, well done to those Gas fans who did travel. Not a good number though as a club from such a big city.
