Attendance?

[Ron Manager]

It may have been mentioned in another thread somewhere, but what was the attendance last night boys and girls?

 

[Tin Bath]

7830, Gillingham website claims there was 877 Gills there, North stand was not even a third full, cant see that myself

7830 IIRC. Under the circumstances a bit disappointing.

 

[Smiffy]

Terrible attendance. Poor show from the Southend public.

 

[sadsy]

Not sure how correct the figures were. Got to my seats and the people in them had been sold my season ticket seats, duplication shouldn't happen surely ?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Maybe it would have been higher on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm.....:whistling:

 

[mattytheshrimper]

very very dissappointing attendence. honestly thought we would have 9k there. weren't helped by gills terrible following but there was plenty of space in the west / south upper and lower.

still what we had there were brilliant

How many was there against Bristol Rovers? As I work in the car park there were more cars there last night than the Rovers match.

I've said elsewhere, I dispute those figures. Our stands were pretty full, there were odd bits that were sparsely populated but in the main I thought we were on for a high 8 to low 9 thousand.

Agree with you OBL the Hall certainly looked more than 3/4 full, but we have to believe the official figures :unsure:

 

[Cricko]

I have always thought the figures given out are very odd. Maybe they have a different way of calculating the crowd than we do.:unsure:

You'd have thought some more effective way than this was used though

IIRC all complimentary seats are excluded from the calculation.

That maybe so .....but why then call it "The Official Attendance"...maybe they should change it to .."People who paid to get in attendance"..;)

 

[BrettieAngell]

There was some gaps on the South lower and upper (unusually), and there quite a few gaps on the V and W in the West. About right I feel disappointing though.

The North West bit was empty. If it is above 8000 they normally have to open up the bit beyond X block.

 

[Manchester Shrimper]

Perhaps if they stopped moving games to a Friday night...

I'd have definitely come down this weekend if I'd have been able to. However, Friday night games require me to take a half-day holiday which work wouldn't let me do at short-notice yesterday.

The Dartford crossing was closed, that was the reason i didn't get there in time and i imagine alot of Gills fans where in the same boat.

Absolutely right, MK. Five and a quarter hours it took me to do the 130 miles, five and a quarter hours!!! Compare that with the two and a quarter hours the journey back took.

I missed the whole of the first half, so only got to see half a game. :madman:


Was pleased I did it, though. :)
