Only 500 at Notts County?

[The Wookiee]

Just read Harty's bit in The Argus, he reckons there was only 500 of us there on Saturday, to me it seemed double that, or was I just pissed ?

 

[BrightonBird]

I thought it was more, but then I was in the middle

 

[Soton Seagull]

Def a lot more than that, dare I say struggling club pockets cash!

 

[Raphael Meade]

i thought it was quite a few more than that, but then i was stood right by brighton bird.

maybe it just looked more from where we were stood!!

Boolocks. There was not 4,500 County fans there. That is a load of shit.

They average between 4,100 and 4,300.

Hartlepool game got 5,011 and our game got 5,041.

good on'em!!!

500 is what Andrew Hawes suggested on the radio.

Norman Gall then responded, saying that in his opinion football crowds are not what they used to be, that far fewer people go to away games and don't sing as much, that players today are all wusses who go down at every opportunity, that his contemporaries would have sustained a broken leg, shrapnel wounds and shell shock and still turned out for the second half, that footballs should be returned to the old brain-damage-inflicting brown leather variety, that teams should be made to play on muddy old swamp pitches like they had in the Sixties, and that all referees are idiots who are intent on turning the game into netball for girls.

f***ing hell that's a good turnout, considering our form, the alternative attractions on offer and the distance.

 

[Raphael Meade]

bloody good show. even slightly more than i thought

 

[Eggman]

good show!

 

[Albionite83]

Just spoken to Notts County. There were officially 1,045 Albion fans at the match on Saturday, so I assume Harty will claim he was (almost) half right

And give the correct figure in his column next week, in tribute to the best away fans in the division by far

 

[Kenhead]

Good show!

 

[Yorkie]

f***ing hell that's a good turnout, considering our form, the alternative attractions on offer and the distance.

And the fact that a couple of determined Seagulls fans were very poorly last Saturday sitting at home sulking because they couldn't go

 

[graz126]

nice to know that we turned up in numbers coz that can only help them.

 

[Citrus]

Good stuff!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Glad thats sorted. Have to say I was there and in the middle, cant see how anyone could have thought there were only 500 of us there.

 

[Sussex on Leith]

I often wonder about the away attendances that are quoted, including the "official" ones listed in the Albion programme. Maybe I'm just not great at estimating the size of a crowd, but to read that there were only about 400 of us at Middlesbrough left me quite confused. Or maybe that's just because 400 of us managed to outsing 10,000 Smoggies for 120 minutes.

"Nice ground, shit fans..."

 

[Harty]

Apologies to all. Will rectify it on the wireless this week, no excuse I know but I felt like shit with a cold/flu and was pissed off because despite the fact that Notts County are in danger of going out of business some no mark in a peaked cap stopped me and Sir Norman Gall from going into their lounge and spending money on two lunches because we had jeans on!
Hawsey forgot to tell us about the dress code, but then again he looks like Worzel Gummidge/Osama Bin Laden every week.

 

[Turkey]

Not very smart up north are they.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Harty you absolute LEMON. Sort your life out.
