Agreed it did. Not sure why they have such a small distance between home and away fans there, it just attracts idiots on both sides of the fencing. Enlarge it and that may help reduce the issues. Always a bit of a mystery why when there are police in the ground, like last night, there are never any there, when that seems to be such an obvious potential flashpoint area.

If often takes a minimal, but obvious, police presence in the right area to stop that. Two officers in that area would have been ideal. Having said that, 4865 people with generally excellent behaviour.

Agree yes and rather randomly what seemed to be the only incident, the pitch invader after we scored, was a Scottish bloke on a stag do!

In the equivalent games last season, we took 16 points from our remaining league games (with the addition of an extra game vs York). That involves swapping Lynn at Home for Gateshead, and Dover away for Dorking - both of those are now much harder fixtures. This site predicts the league table using some unknown model, and has us finishing 19th, 2 points clear of relegation: https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league/league-table/predicted

Thought we were really good yesterday, given all the turnover, and really liked Cashman in particular. But we need these arrivals to get match fit and gel, quickly. We didn't win any of the next 7 last season, and if that happens again this year we'll be sucked right into it.

Is that the biggest crowd ever for a league game then? I'm sure the biggest crowd ever was Blackburn in the cup in 1974 (?). Something like 8000+, which seems very scary now, and I was there!

Yes, this makes a lot of sense.

I think 19th is about right given the upheaval, but agree too that finding the right combination from the multiple options we appear to have at present could easily propel us much higher than 19th.

Around 5,500 v Blackburn . Best league crowd i remember is against Macc here in 67/68  of 8,700 or so .

What was the crowd v Leyton Orient in the FA Cup? My Dad said it was absolutely rammed for that game.

That’s interesting in that a lot of predicted tables just tend to be done roughly on a current points per game basis so no one moves very much.

But I think that could be more realistic, I hope we don’t leave it so tight though!!

I thought the biggest fa cup crowd was the over 7k we got for the game with Barrow.
Never forget the exhilaration I felt when Bert Lister put us in the lead at the Red Robin Club end (as it was then).

It says we'll take a single point from Eastligh Gateshead SC**thorped Oldham and Dorking which I cant see, us failing to pick up more than a single point from,
