    Clearly with the attendance today many fans doing their own peaceful demonstration. To coin an old phrase, people wont stand for the ‘egg under the cap’

    Attendance announced isnt the same as people who were actually there.

    Bet there were 3000+ less at the game than the actual attendance announced

    I’d have said 5000 less than the announced attendance. Both the East and Ponty were under half full

    I was sat in the east stand. Felt as busy as normal. Still spent all of half time queueing for a cuppa & missed the first minute of the second half. 2 staff on. Serving a quarter of the east stand. It’s embarrassing

    Yes that one made me smile as well - I was also surprised at the number of police about as we dont have much trouble from Bournemouth

    I'm in the East Upper. I can assess the attendance level by the amount of time it takes for me to get to the bogs and back at half-time and by the volume of people queuing for a waz. Yesterday I was straight there and back and there was no queue at all.
    My assessment was: It's Bloody Empty.

    No way was the Ponty less than half full. Not seen it so full for ages. There were groups of people in front of us who hadn't been since October, others November. Were you watching on TV? The crowd doesn't reach its maximum until after 3:00.

    No apart from it might have been swept.
