How many in the away end?

Not seen a figure but id guess around 800

I think that the official figure was 798 in the away end. There were also a lot of Guiseley fans in the main stand......around 200-300 arrived en-masse at about 1.50-2.00pm, therefore I would estimate that there were about 1000-1100 in total.....which is very impressive.

Does anyone know what the donaster fa cup crowd in 84 was ?just over 4 k?

[anglo alty]

Well done the crowd for turning out

[saddo]

Guisley were given free transport to the game by the club.
A magnificent gesture.
Good luck for next season!

Not only could I not get my normal seats today, I couldnt even get the normal stand!!!!  It was full - I've never seen it full before, not even on the Burton Albion FA cup game last year.

What capacity do we lose when we do the community hall - without the flags section there wouldnt have been much room left in the ground.

Nowt, mainly as thats not in the official capacity

[Jezza]

the addition of the crash barriers will make a difference to the space available....I can remember the 8,000 V orient and not feeling as squashed as I did yesterday....can't really see how you could squeeze another 1300 into moss lane yesterday?

[Jenga]

Remember the family stand was a terrace  also the chequers end yesterday had big gaps in places.

[Hale Alty]

Surely they were barriers in place by the time the Orient game was played. That end had only been built at couple of years.

Never seen that many people inside Moss Lane before, and baring an FA Cup tie against a big side, I doubt it will be surpassed for a long time.

Not only the usual United and City fans getting down but also load of kids, most of whom don't usually watch live football and may be visiting Moss Lane for the first time. Lets hope a few of them get hooked and become regulars at Moss Lane - I mean there can't be many better games for your first dose of Alty magic!

Even if just 10% of those kids start coming regularly we can easily average a 1200+ gate next year.

While waiting for the ground to clear a bit I had a conversation with a Hull City fan who lives in Manchester. The game attracted a lot of one off interest. And what a show they got.

[Timperley The Best]

Bigger crowd than burtons 4581 in play off today

[Bob]

a number of things helped the crowd yesterday, but I wonder how much of an impact social media had?

[Jimmy]

A well done to the staff went in ground bout quarter to 3 and got in straight away

Absolutely right Jimmy - a big pat on the back is due to everybody involved in staging the game yesterday.  Getting that number of people in and out safely is an achievement in its own right.  I didn't go but because this is Alty FC I know it will have been done professionally and courteously. Great job.
