Crowd from Saturday

[The Fitter]

According to 'The Evening Echo' (centre pages) more than 45000 fans attended the match against Darlo. Now whilst the club should be congratulated for it's efforts in getting this many bums on seats I noticed that the attendance figure they released was around 7300.

I know this question has been raised in the past but I hope that the VAT saved on the unofficial 37 thousannd extra fans is put to good use.

I bet the writer in question didn't proof read as he was too busy lurking on here.

4500 was the figure released by the club friday afternoon as the number of tickets sold by then

OOOOO I was wondering how one writes 45000 instead of 7300

Three guys got in via an unmanned gate in the West Stand, so the Official Attendance was Officially incorrect. Sorry if you were misguided by the club's lax security!

If three got away with it, who's to say another 38,000 didn't?

Funny, the Centre Page Evening Echo I read mentioned 4,500 not 45,000. This actually makes the day appear to be worse than it actually was.

A big centre-page feature highlighting the large crowd would have been fantastic. Getting the crowd figure correct would have been nice. Using pictures obviously taken about 1.45pm did not have the desired effect.

Have you never heard of anyone talking about the dimensions of the pitch? Well the stands have a number of dimensions as well. In these parallel multiverses, accessable through the wormholes in Roots Hall turf, you can in fact hold an infinite number of people. 45,000 was actually quite disappointing. Especially as the 38,000 parallel me's were there. Where were YOU?
