Yes i didnt go im in portugal so only going on what me mates have said theres a bit about it on the match thread.

 

[natdan]

Port Vale are pretty active this season. When Wigan went there was a bit of trouble in the ground with Wigan's young lads and stewards and then outside it was tasty.

Walsall fans today were not bad for a smallish following. Quite loud for 20 minutes but then the usual dying off, picked up again when we went down to 10 men. Decent game of football to be fair with quite possibly the worst referee I have ever witnessed at a football game. I suppose its welcome back to league 1.

Oh and for the earlier Wigan post about Blackpool and Wigan being a more attractive fixture? Probably one of the more attractive fixtures for away teams but no better away day in football than Blackpool.

Burton v Southend
Blackpool v Swindon
Rochdale v Bradford

I don't think Dale will announce the away following, but we'll go with 2,500 anyway.

I'll get the official figure later today, that's not 2500 btw.

The stand holds 3,600....

Yeah decent support from us, numbers were better than recently too. Entertaining game for a 0-0 to be fair, don't know how neither of us didn't score.

Good day out, top booze.

1,958 Bradfud

1,958 Bradfud

No. It was 2500. Firthy says so.

 

[blademan89]

 

[mozzavale]

To be fair Rochdale are a bit suspect. We completely filled the end in our promotion season. No segregation netting, blocks empty etc. Whole side was packed. Stand holds 3,600 they said 2,900. Having said that. That Bradford figure looks right.

 

[BCFC]

1958 sounds about right to me although at the game I said about 1800, anyway who cares?

Why are burton so tight with giving away their away attendances

 

[Walkley_Owl]

772 Swindon

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Update on the averages, estimated Southend at Burton

 

[Luke8686]

our net home fans figure is actually 2,351 (2611, 2121, 2323, 2535, 1938, 2576)

 

[Walkley_Owl]

You're correct, i put the 2,190 v Shrewsbury into Port Vale by error. Tables updated

The usual suspects still crowd counting....

Two unused blocks at Dale, so that's 1200 off straight away. Then we're back to explaining how just because a row/block looks full, it isn't necessarily. Especially when fans are stood up.

This was detailed to Vale, Plymouth and Bradford fans in the past on the old TFF, so to repeat yet again....

Say there a row of 25 seats and there are 17-20 fans stood up, it looks full. (this exact example was used when we played Vale with pictures illustrating it). Multiply this across various other rows and a block of 600 seats that looks full may only have 450-500 fans in it. People are hard work.

I stand corrected blueblacksocks. I found the image below which shows a fair amount of netting on the front rows of some blocks, plus the odd few seats to the right of the picture. Can see where 6/700 odd empty seats will add up from that. Hands up, you're right.

600 seats per block....nahhhh!

 

[blademan89]

600 seats per block....nahhhh!

Get over the fact you couldn't muster 2000 fans for a match 25 mins away

Tinpot from Burton, this isn't the evostik midlands alliance this is league 1. We publish away attendances in league 1, sort it out Burton.

I agree it's crap.
Maybe we will get it right in the championship...

 

[djs]

What happened to earwig? He used to get hold of and publish Burton's figures last season in L2, and tried to get his club contact to get them to publish.
Two years ago someone actually used a FoI request to Staffs Police to get hold of the figures at the end of the season.
Ridiculous behaviour by Burton. They didn't even have the courtesy to reply to a very polite email about the subject, and clearly don't care that they are the only club who behave in this way - I'd really like to know why.

 

[Jamo]

Should be deducted points each time imho. And Rochdale for providing blatantly false away figures.

We are literally massive Yes I know we've only had one lengthy trip so far

 

[PUSBCCFC]

400 of us exactly here at Yeovil tonight. Tidy following for the JPT at a place like Yeovil.

Very good indeed.
