people were not losing there jobs or watching there pennies as much in 2005

1000 maybe more

If FC take 1,000 then a 2,000 crowd could be on the cards

your right there lewis it was 2005

loved the bar in the stand

I think the advantages would outweigh the crowds issue, but I doubt that SC4 will get more than a "highlights" package, since Sky won't want to lose their monopoly.

Looking forward to the trip and a cracking weekend

It's not like the credit crunch has affected the attendances of round 1 and the games that got moved to thr weekend before round 1. Also, its not really affected season pass sales also. Looking at other sports, I don't think it has affected away support much there either. Personally, I have seen no evidence so far to suggest that crowds will fall due to the credit crunch

anyway let the best team win

indeed Stig lets hope we do...

Just hoping for an 80 min performance from our lads, a great game,great atmosphere and a great attendance
