I was on the ticket office today and asked about attendances. There were 11600 at last nights game, ticket sales for Saturday are slower than they were for last night. A nice day and there could be a good walk up I suppose. Maybe more away fans this time?
Watching the Bristol Rovers friendly it really stood out for me how difficult it is to play as a striker for us and to make an impression. I am certainly no tactical expert but the amount of times that they, and to a lesser extent our midfield, show for a pass but are ignored, the preference...
They have one fan from each club in each division. I don’t know how they are chosen. The chap writing about us, Tom Furnival-Adams has done it for a few years now. They have this feature at the start of every season.
Prediction for the coming season from the magazine When Saturday Comes. Prediction is based on a poll of where each contributer thinks each team will come. Surprised at who comes out as Champions.
Expectation was sky high that day, probably fuelled by the friendly win against Everton when we looked superb. The away end that day was really bouncing before the game. I was high up in the corner and it was the loudest noise I have ever experienced, at football or anywhere else for that...
