You can always get a feel for the crowd from the jackpot prize. It was about £370 last night and similar last week. When we were getting 16 -18000 a couple of years ago it was up around £800 - 900. In the prem days it was 2 grand. I rckon there were 11 to 12k actually there last night. Fewer charlton than last week I thought but not that many.
Offical figures Huddersfield 12974 (Cafc 12534 Huddersfield 440) Bournemouth 13537 (Cafc 12561 Bournemouth 976) so accordng to those figures there were 27 more home fans there last night.
When we scored the fans went mental ,the players went mental,the staff went mental Hardly the signs of a club that hat it's heart and soul ripped out??
Our midweek attendances have been on the decline for years.....was easier for attendees when the KO was 8pm.....however the high cost of attending and kids having school the next day all contribute. I don't believe there is a boycott at all. I think a lot of the fans I know just pick and choose there games, let's face it the football hasn't been that exciting....results will improve attendances.
If there is a boycott ( and i dont believe there is) i'm glad they missed the jubilant scenes tonight.
Support us or bugger off somewhere else .
Disagree totally.
I was there and will continue to be there but if fans decide not to go then that doesn't stop them being fans.
Rather than telling people to bugger off we, the fans, the club, should be trying to get them back. We need more people paying at the gate.
I don't actually think there is an organised boycott but for some fans the recent changes will have been enough to make them say no when deciding to make a midweek trip to the Valley. Others wouldn't have been there anyway due to work, distance, school, etc.
The other two mid week games we have played this season at the the Valley the offical attendences were Nottingham Forest 155567 (CAFC 13789 - NF 1778) Doncaster 14140 (CAFC 13623 Don 517) We are therefore missing 1100 walk up fans for the Huddersfield and Bournmouth games.

Not keen on cheering Riga's name just yet, but everyone went batshitmental when we scored.
Recognised a lot of people who left on 88mins in the NW Quadrant ;0))))
I dribbled my Bovril and the bloody blanket slipped off my knees.
