What I found odd was that the attendance was 9000 bang on. I don't think I've ever known an attendance like that before. As for protesters coming after 15 minutes; I never noticed. There must have been about 10 of them.

No, not slagging off anybody, Valiant. I just expected people to pour through the gates, but it seemed just as empty after 15 as before.

Yes, thinking about it, that was one part that did seem fuller later in the half. Under the scoreboard.

Was surprised at the figure of 9000 (a) because it was spot on that (but it is as good a number as any I suppose) and (b) because i wasnt expecting it to be that high.
Based on the pictures here though, if you do a bit of revisualing to see it in full blocks equivalents I suppose it could be close to that. I would say there was enough in the tescos stand to fill 3 blocks of seats, enough in the CT to fill at least one block. Each block is what 52 rows and 26 seats per row? Thats 5408 plus 1750 from away fans plus say 1000 in the posh seats, jsb's etc = 8158
BUt in the end does it really matter - it was always going to be low, (yet apparently the average number per game for round 3 was up on last year). People voted with their feet and have stayed away this season. It doesnt help the finances but understand why.
Personally for a whole lot of reasons concerning the club I stayed away Saturday - I chose to show my support for the Club on the day by watching the U18's play...... a far more positive attitude from that team.... and a positive experience because of it
Perhaps rather than going to some First Team games we should go support the U18's instead there by register a form of protest in that manner yet supporting the club ? They are our future afterall.....

What is strange is 2010 we played pompey who were in the premiership in the 3rd round the attendance was around 7500 2011 when we were around the play offs we played palace the attendance was around 8500 and yet this season with boycotts and protests the attendance was 9000. Something just aint right
