I'll leave guestimating crowds until the seasons end.....if the club declare a figure for every game, then that's what they've had to pay the hosts for, so I don't see a reason for them to fudge the figures.
25 home games left to get to Highes 5k of paying punters so let's hope that the 50% or so if freebies come back and book the gold lounge for the rest of the season.
As for on the park? As I've said, hoping there are two worse teams than us so we avoid relegation isn't a strategy I'd be going with, but Hughes seems content

I can't really comment on the first half as the flipping sun was in my eyes most of the time, WTH is it going to be like in the summer?
Yup it was annoying. LB Twitter has photos up and behind the player, Leyland junior, all the crowd are shading their eyes. It is what it is.

I could be wrong but It didn't feel like we were kept away for the length of time AFC are doing by Charlton & Brentford in those vital months.

I don't remember Charlton, but Brentford is was usually 4 weeks, with a game on the road in the middle (wales several times, leicester, coventry, remember one night vs catalans in esher)

PL seems 8 weeks which is a killer to any momentum.

Wasn’t that game in Esher because the pitch at the Stoop was flooded / unplayable?
Seem to remember playing Bradford at Wycombe as well while it was sorted out .

You get to far more weird places as a Broncos supporter than any other club thats for sure.....

I'm sure the Catalans and Bradford matches mentioned were short notice re-arrangement rather than planned work. Seem to remember all sorts of rumours flying round Esher about where we were taking Bradford.

Can't remember why the matches had to move though.

I remember that the pitch had to be repaired after a big dump of rain over the winter, and as such we were informed of this maintenance work in advance by Quins.

Plough Lane is very popular with the women’s football game.

I'm not sure that would be a reason for such a long period of repair. Charlton were playing at a higher level than AFC & Brenford probably about the same, but obviously clubs expect their pitches to be of better quality now. Pitch technology has moved on in leaps & bounds since then, so you have to wonder if AFC have installed the right sort of pitch for year round sport if it needs this length of repair.

Our fixture list is pretty ridiculous. We play Barrow at Cherry Red on 13-May and then are not back there again until 30-Jul against York.
