Well we took about 2,500 closing in on 3,000 to FC, i doubt you'll see the same sort of numbers at your place though and reason for that is fans don't like to be put in a cage type thing at the other end of your ground.

The city and fans reputation put people off. Especially those with young children.
The travelling.
Having to pay £20 to sit in an uncovered stand. The weather was lovely yesterday but if it had rained we would of got p!ss wet through. The Willows isn't a palace but at least if it rains you'll remain dry.

That you stuck us in 2005 i believe ? Both sides locked and some of your fans goading us, couldn't see the game. Definitely felt like a cage to me although i will be at CP this year.

Im not saying we need to pay for away support facilities first. I said the East Stand extension needs doing asap and that we need to look at reasons why away fans arent coming.

No way, were there 200 Salford fans in atendance yesterday, you could see when they all jumped up after they scored that there were no more than about 40-50 of them, very poor folllowing from Salford imo

TBF i think the poor view the away fans get has a bearing on the number of away supporters attending CP. I don't like standing at an end at the best of times but the view from the North and South stands at CP is appalling.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

North stand view is no worse than the view from most of the away stands in the League, with the exceptions of the JJB, the Galapharm and the KC which are far superior.
