I think the weather will keep some away, despite the supposed improvement forecast.

Rochdale I expect won't bring many, so I reckon we may just top 8,000..

I think we'll be lucky to get 6000 given the weather. People are not made of the same stuff these days.

There was alot more children at Tuesday's game than normal so I suspect many of them won't be there tonight.

Yeh, I remember those nights well.

There was a certain magic at BV back in the day.

Remember a game at BV in second half blizzard conditions v Kidderminster, or was it Kettering, and I think we won 5-0, was great fun!

Great game that was.

Looking forward to tonight after not seeing the last two wins.

There was but can't remember who by. I remember Jan Molby moaning after the game. Did they have a man sent off?

There was probably in reality 6500 there. Parents who have bought the £30 season tickets for their sons daughters won’t have brought them last night in cold weather and Xmas period hence why the family stand was empty

The East Stand looked fuller than normal as did the Black Bank with quite a few young kids coming despite the weather and an evening kick off. Still, quite surprised at the official attendances.

Just looked at the League One attendances to date and we're just above Rotherham averaging just over 8000 which is fantastic.

Edit: For the whole of 2007/08 promotion season we averaged 7,978.

Some pathetic average attendances in this league, the worst surely being Scunthorpe at Just over 4000. Given where they are in the league that is shocking.

Scunny’s attendances in their L1 seasons usually average around 3500 to 4500 or so.
Given that they have had a couple of promotions seasons from L1 of late I guess that 4000 is usual for them, irrespective of where they are in the division.
