You're looking at what, 1500 empty seats in the away end? From there it's easy enough to imagine there was total 1000 empty seats elsewhere, north stand rarely gets above 2/3rds full because of all the no shows.

Was rocking today for the first 5 minutes.

North and South Stands looked to have very few empty seats

1500 in the away end ?

The East only ever held 4500 at a maximum ( all seated ) maybe 1000 seats in that section
Solihull has 150 odd & there were 3 or 4 full rows of O's fans there .

Biggest crowd Harrogate Town have played in front of in their 105 year history.

Struggling to believe that figure as well. It didn’t look like there were 2,500 empty seats. Didn’t sound like it either.

Yes agreed, probably the best atmosphere at a home game for quite some time, we certainly were the 12th man today.
I thought the crowd looked over 7,000, there certainly wasn’t 2,500 empty seats from what I could see.
Depending on Monday’s results we could see nearly a ‘full house’ for the Braintree game.

Atmosphere was excitedly expectant and rightly so.

There were still too many empty seats for my liking. The ticket site said sold out (except for a couple of carers seats) so where were those STHs who couldn't make the game letting us know that those who wanted to go to the game could?

Nor that many awake in the West.
