I was at the match and I don't believe that the gate was anywhere near that figure, and neither did the crowd. The chap I sit near to and I regularly try to guess the attendance. We're usually not far off. This time I said 300 and he said 450. A long way off and we just looked at each other and laughed. So did most of the people sitting around us.

But, a genuine question, what would be the purpose of inflating the attendance ?

Can I just ask a question? After a win, as opposed to being positive or happy, why do you decide to accuse the club of artificially inflating numbers which do not have any benefits anyway?

I'd also ask you, were you really there and would you consider yourself a fan? I know what 300 fans look like and it definitely wasn't 300.

Why is it so hard to be happy about the team?

Kieran, I was there on Saturday, and without going into detail, I have reason to be able to assess crowd size. I would agree with you, I suspect the attendance figure was definitely close to accurate. I also know what a blatantly false figure looks like, they usually happen at FA Cup games.

There is no good, financial reason, for a club to intentionally inflate an attendance figure.

From 2.55pm today. Listen on kltfc.mixlr.com

Some rumours on the Aldershot forum tonight that Tommy has been sacked and the official announcement will come tomorrow. I think it's probably a false rumour, but it's interesting that someone wanted to get it going.
