Apologies if this has already been brought up and I've missed it, but three separate sources give their attendance yesterday as:-

586 !!

What's going on? A fans' strike?

And I thought ours was poor (Although expected )

but then later on in the article...

Just over 5,000 were inside the stadium, with the nearby V Festival likely to have attracted some supporters away from their more regular Saturday afternoon pursuits.

Just a typo that others have copied I assume.

Actual recorded attendance 5086. Who ever reported the figures missed off the 0.




Bet someone at the pro-star will be bouncing about this as I have just checked the attendance table after two home games and Shrewsbury are now recorded as having a total of 7,024 after 2 games and they had 6438 for their 1st game
Rotherham is very interesting though Shows a capacity of 8,300 but after 1 home game they are recorded as having 10,254

I think that rotherham attendance is another mistake as they were playing Accrington who will not have taken many

10,254 is correct V Accrington and the difference in the attendance and capacity is because...derrr.......I forgot they are playing at Don Valley, Sheffield Still a hell of an attendance for them.

Was there not a U2 concert on at the same time?

bloody hell I din't think they had that many fans

They only got 3700 today against rochdale so maybe it was free to get in on first game against accy

Turns out there was a U2 Concert on the night before and Rochdale are unhappy there was glass on the pitch
