voteforpedro Posted 14 December, 2009 Posted 14 December, 2009 why does this article refer to us as cash strapped? Certainly not the first time this season I have seen this statement in the national media.
Gorgiesaint Posted 14 December, 2009 Posted 14 December, 2009 Talking about low away attendances - when i was Uni between 88 & 91, my best mate was from Hartlepool. Having seen them lose 5-2 in an FA cup reply at Bournemouth, I went to watch them at Hereford on a Tuesday night. With my mate & another mate who had come down from Hartlepool, I was their third 'best' supporter of the night having seen them once before!! The other 10 people in the away end were locals who just paid on any gate to get in. The total of 18 people in the away end that night was completed by 5 policemen who decided we weren't going to be to much trouble & disappeared to the burger van for the entire match!! Hartlepool, being them, lost 3-0 on the night and we managed to get the wrong train on teh way home so nearly ended up in Liverpool rather than Coventry!!

darren1 Posted 14 December, 2009 Posted 14 December, 2009 Skates at Sunderland yesterday... ...if that's 400 I need to get to Specsavers...150 tops! Well, any excuse not to be working I used the scientific method of opening microsoft paint and putting a black dot over each person (it was actually quite a pleasure!) and I came to the grand total of 223 (But I may have got some stewards in there)
