It's a sparse crowd here tonight . I'd say 16000 or less through the turnstile .

[Buzzer]

You have my sympathy. Had a consultants appointment for my knackered knee tonight so having to miss the match. Getting up and down to the WSU has been a very painful experience for the last couple of matches.

Cheers matey. Hope your appointment went well.

In a perverse way I love these empty stadium midweek debacles so gutted I'm missing tonight's match - all those Paint Pot Trophy matches at Withdean must have done something funny to my brain!

They were great. Boston(?) bringing 8 fans was probably my favourite one.

Ha! Yes, I remember that. Didn't they plonk them at the front of Block B in the South Stand or am I imagining that?

I remember once, we stood at the back of Block G and there was a bloke halfway down by himself reading the sports section of the Argus all the way through the first half. Didn't look up once to watch the game.

I think so. Mad when you think of them in the home end. I seem to remember they were rewarded with a very tedious 2-0 defeat!

Brilliant moment as the crowd start LAUGHING when the attendance is announced.

Followed by chants of there's no one there in wsl. Despite a win that performance is hardly gonna ring the crowd back. Paper. Cracks.

Away on business

I'll take the win thank you very much.

I've no agenda, I just want us to win, and win often.

 

[Zukey Seagull]

They're all at home watching their other team Liverpool in the Champions league

Funny you say that. After the game left the stand and walked into the concourse and the scores came up and arsenals score showed up and some kid screamed with anger because of their result.

Cat issues, sorry.

23,044 with 161 away fans but looked a lot less

 

[sir albion]

13k at reading

 

[patchamalbion]

I appreciate it's a right old mission on a Tuesday but 161 is pretty poor. I went to a Cheltenham game a few weeks back and Carlisle had 300 on a Tuesday night!

 

[Craven Wine]

There was a screen showing 15400 through the turnstiles when I was upgrading a ticket - :-( that was at kick off! And yes I missed the goal.

 

[poidy]

In the space of 6 months or so we've gone from packing 26-27K in to sub 20. Pretty depressing really. The price you pay for taking the piss out of fans.

Think we will see a huge reduction in season ticket sales next season with most picking and choosing there games.

We've had a great three years but sadly it seems the ride is coming to an end.

We were so close....

you're right, it was more like 61 away fans...

yes, all 23,000 of us!

 

[gregbrighton]

Cat issues, sorry.

You're excused. You have a new owner to attend to.

 

[Weststander]

Many watching TV in the warm at home including BBC1's excellent The Missing.

 

[Luke93]

I counted 108... Were there 53 people hiding in the toilets?

 

[Weststander]

Looks reasonable from that picture...Doesn't the west stand alone hold 15k ish?
Such ashame the south stand is always empty

Reckon 19k

WS holds 10,833, excluding the corners added later.
