It's 'always' been difficult to determine crowds at the first couple of home games of the season as there are a lot of folk on their hol's....quite a few missing around me at the Swansea game for example....and as has already been mentioned, what with the game being on Sky as well as it being a bank holiday weekend, it's bound to have an effect.
Ahh but as OOh Aah will point out to you how many would we take there if it was early KO & on TV, few people could argue that we are in fact a bigger club than them !
not getting involved ketman , even tho i clearly am ;-) the numbers came out last year and our away support average was smaller than palaces and qpr... FACT
will be two down this sat as me and there mrs are heading to spain!! we had no trouble getting 20 pound tickets for the swans game altho my dad who is 68 got no discount in this area, cant see why u would you pay 30 quid when the 20's in the quads are perfectly fine. sat about 10 rows in front of GHE and his old man. think this payment plan will back fire apart from the palace game. couldnt get season tickets as the mrs will be giving birth in early Jan so will miss too many games. We will go to as many as we can as 40 quid for 2 aint that bad to watch the lads. also noticed loads of people comming from the more expensive north lover to sit in the NWQ once the heavens opend!!!
Well I feel a bit of a cheat posting this now as I know for a fact that the sold figure as at yesterday was around 19,200 so crowd will be well in Excess of 20,000 I would say nearer 21,250.

As for Saturday? In the ground 17,000. Announced 19,000.
Could be wrong,but just guessing.
I can't imagine that too many will pay £25-£30 for a game that's on sky to be honest.
Might explain why Reading have sold so few.
Hoping to see plenty of Bailey and Dickson.
The REAL Swansea attendance was less than 20,000 I reckon.
