    Oh for the "old days", you know like the early 80s for example. Big match day and there would be thousands in the ground already. Always a last minute rush obviously but this picture looks pathetic.

    As I said in another thread I would be surprised to see more than 7,000 in the home seats today, and I bet a lot of them will be Blunts.

    When I originally typed that, I pressed summat wrong and auto correct changed it to
    "sigh very oldly".....which also works.

    Do you really think 4900 ST holders won't show up or am I reading it wrong?

    Probably exaggerating a bit but I can easily imagine 2500 not showing up

    The turnstiles only don't work for Barnsley fans

    Maybe they just open on one side but it doesn't matter if it's just one set of fans? Good question though

    With hindsight they're probably glad they did.
    I did.

    Well, i got to see the rarity of 2 goals at the Ponty End, not seen since before lockdown.

    No choice now imo but for Schopp to be relieved of his duties, The blunts were dire yet we let them go 3 0 up.

    Didn't even dare to announce the attendance. Two home ends open for our biggest home game of the season and still lots of empty seats with people staying away. Groups of six could have sat together easily today.
