Ernie For England Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 According to the official site there were 1,764 latics fans at the game today. The away stand apparently holds 2,500. This means there were 736 empty seats. Where these seats on the roof or something because there's absolutely no way there were 736 spare seats in that stand!

oafckev Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 For a start there was two front rows restricted to sit in and I saw quite a few gaps in the stand. Although it is always harder to spot when you are in the stand yourself. Great turn out by the fans today and I'm sure it impressed the new players/management at the club. Here's for the same on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well i didn't see them! There were quite a few right at the top in the centre and I could see a fair few around me further down that block as well. I thought the stand held 2500 and I guessed at around 1800-2000, so if it only holds 2200 i think 1700ish is pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's always the way, it's easier to see the occupies seats than the empty ones if that makes any sense, even in a packed stand there are lots of singles empty, one in ten of tem is 300 out of 3000, add in a few rows covered off and hey presto. They were lying throught their teeth with the 2800 at Uddy though. That was a fiddle and they knew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) the last three times we've been there we've been sat in the same place and it's never taken us as long to get out of that stand as it did yesterday Edited August 8, 2010 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outoftheblue Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 The majority of seats on the first two rows have only the seat back and no base on them. It was pretty funny watching people take their places and then grasp round for a fold-down seat that wasn't there. Most of them, as said earlier had netting over them though. 1800 seemed about right.

You're right the stand has a capacity of 2,500 it's on TRFC official site. With the cordoned off area at the front etc the capacity on the day I'm led to believe was a little over 2,200. Looking at the BBC highlights on i player today there were, as people have sald, quite a lot of empty seats, so the crowd figure given was in my opinion pretty much bang on! Sheffield Wed and Huddersfield will be the only clubs to better that this season and perhaps Notts County if they are challenging at the top. Our home core crowd was around 4200 last season so to say we took over 40% of them to Tranmere on Saturday is phenominal!! If we can give a good account of ourselves at Scunthorpe tomorrow, Dickov's first home game in charge against Notts County and Lee Hughes could bring a few stayaway fans back to Boundary Park. I know it's the holiday season but a sub 7000 crowd would in my opinion be dissapointing! Edited August 9, 2010 by oafc1955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erratic_Latic Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was down near the front, and many of the seats in the 3 or 4 rows in front of me were empty. :censored:e view from behind the net and with the crossbar right across the halfway line, I spent most of the game standing.
