dec666 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't see why they would say the gate was lower than it actually was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT_SMASH Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 There were plenty of empty seats in the home side of the Rocky and at least 800 in the Chaddy. 9k seems about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 And the prophecy was fulfilled... http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=175716 If my guess of a crowd of 9,200 is correct, there will still be 1,100 (capacity now reduced to 10,300 due to increased segregation in the RRE) spare seats. Which means we will have ppl on here tomorrow night saying "No way was the crowd only 9,200. I couldn't see any spare seats so the crowd must have been at least 10,000. Should we start a pole as to who the 1st member will be to post on that thread? Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPimp Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 A guy in front of me who I've never seen before was taking up 2 seats he was that large. A few more like him and you can see why the place looked fuller than it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in RRE? And 800 in Chaddy - that's about a quarter and no way that many empty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 "plenty" ? Where in RRE? And 800 in Chaddy - that's about a quarter and no way that many empty! RRE - front section of the stand, a few fairly empty roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunteruk Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 RRE - front section of the stand, a few fairly empty roads. so it makes it just over 6,100 home fans..quite a decent increase on recent weeks,just a shame we couldnt of snook it,then maybe they would return next home game and continue coming.

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 And the prophecy was fulfilled... http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=175716 Nice one Rummy You just knew it would happen. Capacity yesterday reduced to 9,900 due to extra segregation in the RRE and unreserved seating in the main stand paddock & Chaddy 8,900 looked about right. Its more difficult to judge the fuller the ground is, as you can't see the odd seats and small pockets as easily. You look at the main stand upper and lower and everyone knows its sold out, but its not full. The paddock is unreserved seating so capacity is reduced by 10%. The upper is reserved seating, but I bet there were odd empty seats. Leicester end looked full, but they didn't sell out and at 2707 there were 43 spare seats. (How many would think there were that many in there) The home section of the RRE was nowhere near full. There was a large pocket of seats at the front and from the Chaddy, you could see quite a few other pockets of spare seats when people were sat down. The Chaddy had plenty of empty seats. Then you've got all the strike it lucky sellers, turnstile operators etc who don't go through the turnstiles, yet still occupy seats. So its easy to see that the crowd at 8,900 is about right, but also why people think it might be fuller. Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
