Credit where credit is due, very well organised by all accounts. Just hope the tab for GMP’s NYD overtime isn’t too big. Good article on OS explaining the planning that went into yesterday. Assume you could get in a pint in ok too? Those queues have been notorious at times this season.
On a side note, very odd this continual obsession certain posters on the Stockport forum have about the attendance breakdown yesterday. They’ve beaten us 4 times this season, I wouldn’t give a monkeys if I was them.
Yes, it is odd, and some of them - but only some, I should add - seem to think we were heavily outnumbered. Their attendances and loyal support have been one of their few sources of pride in recent years, although they do have a very good team this season.
Looking at it logically, the attendance was approximately 50-50, so, as they had around 1/3 of the ground, that section would be more crowded. With an average gate of 3400, they brought 1650, just below 50%, and we, with an average gate now of around 1300, took just short of 600, again just below 50%. Those averages include the two Christmas matches to be fair to both clubs, but the breakdown seems accurate and reasonable, or am I getting obsessed too?
