    20k expected Saturday

    Be nice to have a decent crowd to support our manager for a change.

    27,000 would be better. Our lucky number. Get the word out.

    I'm surprised how deep the malaise has set in at The club.
    The team and manager deserve far more than 20k given their heroics of recent months. I have offered a few people the £5 tickets but nobody seems to want them

    If you've followed our club for any length of time, you'll already know how notoriously fickle / fragile our support can be.

    With enough promotion / marketing etc through the Echo, we could easily get over 20k. (Remember the all conquering Burnley 0-2 in 1988? and before my time, a Hereford one which drew 35k after their Manager's comments?).

    With the print media sadly at an all time low however, it all comes down to word of mouth and social media. We can all do our bit there.

    Such is the attitude of the area however, I think we all know that if this was a Premier League game, it would already be sold out.

    I think Dave's point was that none of that happened in 1988 - Gringo's right, it was 1992, Feb 29th as it goes and the crowd was 16.030.

    Point of order.
    1975 Malcolm Allison , Palace manager made comments about size of our crowds. For the relegation battle a day or two later we had a crowd of 25k for the relegation battle with them. Thanks too to Peter Jackson who bigged the game up in the Echo.

    Alison made comments about our crowds after we beat them at selhurst in 1975 front of 25000 i think the relegation game was 1974, we drew 1-1 and they went down, we had the last laugh with promotion at their expense and 35000 against Hereford

    I remember my mate's dad taking us to that game, standing on the corner of the bob bank/canton, absolutely rammed in and the crowd was buzzing. Generally speaking I have the memory of a goldfish, and cant' even remember the score (I think we won) but will never forget how full the ground was that night.

    I've noticed the same , there is apathy, rugby , and the move to fund and support the last few years of supporting Welsh football side instead .

    The other is the the removal of the five year prices freeze it has lost us a lot of fans , lets put in standing areas, and slash the walk up price to a tenner .

    It was 16k and it was about 1992 i think. A bit of a mad day.
