Also in the mid 80s there was over 3 m unemployed and all the games were played on a Saturday.
I remember Brian Winston moving games to 8 pm on a Friday night in a desperate attempt to get more people to turn up.

Should keep byways quiet for 5 minutes😂
I would expect the gate to be around 7000.
If we can’t get that on a day there is no Premiership action then we have got problems.
To get 7000 people in to watch a league 2 game would be phenomenal, 6000 would be a great achievement, get some perspective mate.
I was right again.
Mind you how many will come back is another matter.

Support tuned out for them yesterday and we rewarded with a cracking performance. Although we were never at the races it's at least refreshing to be able to come out from the match having been beaten by good quality football, rather than filth as it was at NL level.

Swindon #7 and #30 were a class above, not sure where they got those two from but look very good signings indeed.

I've only just worked my way through this thread (it's a quiet Sunday), well predicted Byways1. I don't anticipate Lucky etc to contribute further, saying how right your analysis was

I also predicted a 4 0 defeat.
I had a feeling he was going to lose his bottle and revert to a back 5 in the hope the opposition will die of boredom and we will sneak a 1 0 win.
I can’t stand managers who spend all their time worrying about what the other lot are going to do, it just shows no confidence in your own 11 and what they bring to it.
If he is in charge next week he will play the same back 5 with a couple of defensive midfielders in front on them. We will probably be at least 2 down by half time.
With this system the team has no goal threat and the opposition know this so they will be looking for an early goal and know we will fall apart.

I think he might have already overdone the ol’ predictions (Orient will sell for £1; Orient will groundshare with Dagenham; Bonne to be sold imminently for £50k on several occasions 2016-2017; etc etc).

Adult tickets are full price on Saturday. It's kids for a quid, which isn't that much cheaper than it already is.
Well with no games on in London I will expect a gate of 7000.
Anything much less than that will be disappointing.
I'd loved to be proved wrong,(😏) but I think closer to 6000 than 7000. In fact, no way will it reach 7000.

Question is, would the ghost kids ever team up with the OTY? Making them the spookiest firm around.

Great support. Knew we would lose when I saw their 1300 fans greet their team onto the pitch. Bit like the old days. Hope we don't become a soft touch at home again
