if you take a look at the photos there's no way there's 9K there. Plus the protest wasnt' a boycott it was missing the first 15 mins so anyone protesting would still be counted in the attendance.

And here lies the problem. It was a protest that was meant to last 90 minutes so the majority of those protesting were not due to go into the game and be counted.

Firstly, may I explain that this thread isn't having a pop at the save our city campaign, in fact I think its great what they tried to do.

But just found it interesting that last years fa cup 3rd round attendance was actually lower: 8,162

Did the publicity of the boycott work against us. In other words, people who disagreed with the idea of the boycott might have bought a ticket to make a stand when they otherwise wouldn't have gone?

Wouldn't bumping up the attendance also bump up the amount of money that had to be handed over to Southampton?
