If I was in Fishers job and the crowd today doesn't turn out to be substantially bigger I'd be very worried. Decent enough weather, bank holiday weekend, couple of good results and no legends game should all add up to a much bigger turn out than the first home game. If it isn't I'm not sure there's any chance of it getting significantly better over the course of the season.

it's a really odd matchday when you're just following on twitter and on here. I can't remember the last time I've been in the country and not either at the game or listening to CWR.

Sounds like a very lively first half, lots of chances for both sides with City just on top. Shpuld be a fascinating second half.

hard to tell from the pics on twitter but the main stand looks around the same (busy in the middle then thinning out as you go towards the goal lines), the 'home' end behind the goal looks like there's less than before and PNE have a lot less than Bristol.

I thought we were reliably informed by the likes of Easterngreen and Edgy that Preston had packed out 25 coaches plus, over 1300 fans... oh dear.
I expect them to announce a few 100 more 'home fans' how many are paying who knows, we wont find out in our lifetime.

and yes Linnell is a prize c-unit.

Linnel is obnoxious, he stated the main stand was full, with only the odd seat spare, and derided the fans on the hill.

According to CWR the main stand is very full, very few empty seats. Many more City fans than for the Bristol game.

The lowest Cov home league crowd in the club’s history, 2,059, set in February 1928 for a Monday afternoon 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace....

Are we about to break the record?? probably a close one...

Probably too many players named Clarke on the pitch and someone got confused.

Hopefully. You'll always get a few weak ones that will cave in after a couple of wins.

Are you sure. They usually stand at the back of the east stand. If they stood on the concourse they wouldn't be able to see the game

Perhaps concourse was the wrong word, definitely 'inside'the stand. Noticed for the first report so looked more closely at the second. No sign of the pitch or the crowd.
