One thing about Saturday's match which I don't think was mentioned on here was the attendance. Yes, I know not all season ticket holders are there for every match (there were two or three regulars who sit close to me missing on Saturday) and that there was some sort of price reduction for the game, but if anyone had told me before a ball was kicked this season that we would get an official attendance of 31,939 for Bournemouth's visit, I would never have believed them.

I was pretty certain that crowds would be averaging something like 27,000 this season, but as a long term critic of "Tan's Folly", I have to say it has been needed this season. Of course, relegation would probably see crowds tumble to about sixty per cent of the current average of just over 31,000, but if we could stay in the Premier League for a few seasons, there may be some discussion in the club about the need for further stand extensions!
