Out by one hound!

Absolutely remarkable’ as David Coleman might have said!

Actually out by 11 but still “remarkable”!

Over 8k home fans then. Really good turn outs lately.

Good for league 2 football, to put it in perspective again today the crowd was bigger than our last ground's capacity. The club is progressing again just has a feel about the place.

Thought fans were good today bar some idiots booing at half time. Modern football is losing = boo. Frustrating that.

I think the fans were booing the referee at half time.

Three near me booing and moaning throughout the first half.

Usher wide.

Let me know where you sit philsky, I happen to know where I might be able to call on a couple of ex Para’s.

Further perspective: 8017 home fans in the ground on Saturday was only bettered last season on three occasions. The Wrexham game, Barrow game and Crewe in the play-off home leg.

It is more home fans in the ground than we had for the L1 play-off semi-final game at home to Charlton in 2019, in McCann's first spell in charge (7452).

Our form since February is clearly winning people over and getting people through the door more than anything since we were in the Championship. Really hope we can capitalise on it and get some of those extra fans to stick around.

I wonder if some half season tickets will be given as Christmas presents? It could be a nice little earner if we are still doing well.

This needs to be pushed relentlessly, not an odd plug here and there, starting by getting it on the big screen throughout home games and getting the matchday announcer to plug it as well

I was in the south stand end of a row.

It was a group of young supporters (20 years old or so) and gave it a proper huge boooooo at HT.

I doubt they've ever been to Welling to see us struggle to a 1-1 draw; the infamous San Siro. Then they'd boo !!

I was there too that day Philsky. Out in the open air in the rain in the second half if I remember correctly.

PS. Wonder if it's still the San Siro?! Helluva place....!

The thing that hit me the hardest was seeing a man with a dog in the 'stadium' - I mean we'd really hit rock bottom !

That's a really good perspective pib.

Maybe the booing at the half time whistle might have been intended for the referee.

When is the first game for the half season ticket, was considering getting one for Xmas but if it's before new year then maybe I need to pick a ten game flex ticket

Really good to see 8k home fans there Saturday. 2 games in a row at home id imagine we'll see a dip this Saturday, but hopefully still get 7k home fans in

Won’t need Para’s then, just a handful of our ‘long suffering’ wives!

I think that if fans want to boo the ref they usually wait until the teams have left the field then boo the ref as he follows them down the tunnel.
The booing on Saturday was immediately after the half time whistle was blown.

If that is right you get 12 games, just over half the 23 home games.
Bargain.
