I watched it in an internet cafe at 4 in the morning in Malaysia, getting bitten to shite by mosquitos, while some guy a few computers down was watching porn, and the locals in the next room were karaoke-warbling to such classics as Gangnam style.
Was it worth it?

Erm...

 ;D

To be fair though I could keep peering over to the porn. At least there was some penetration there!

Now is most certainly the time to increase capacity. Less disruption. We'll have to turn people away if we do it in a few years when we're selling out every week.

Good point Percy.  We could knock a stand down at a time and still fit everybody in.

Is this the appropriate time to demand Randy builds us a 50k stadium?

A similar thought ran through my head while I was sitting on my own in the holte, 40 minutes before kick off freezing my tits off.


Bloody Hell, are you Turkish?

I wouldn't read too much into this - as you mentioned there are many many factors that would've contributed to the low figure last night... The Holte was extremely good; probably as good as they've been all season. Which makes no sense to me.
I think people like the players and the manager now.

The Upper Trinity was very sparse last night but it did allow people to move around to get a better view - one chap and his girlfriend must have tried half a dozen seats before settling by us. Another old boy struggled with a walking stick right up the back despite me advising his sone he could sit by us a couple of rows from the stairs.

The couple of loons who ran from the back of the  stand when we scored were very entertaining!

The "empty seats" came from the 7 Reading fans - irony I think as they would probably love 28k every week?
I used to try many different places when I had a girlfriend but marriage put an end to that!

Yes that is correct fans have a stake in this team. They are young, work their balls off and managed by a man who is brave enough to try a few things and give young payers opportunities.

A couple of blokes stood in from of us at Swindon were drinking a carton of Milk and singing songs about it. I'm so out of step with the Kids today.

I don't drink tea or coffee, which seems to puzzle some people. I drink cold milk on a daily basis, which equally puzzles some people.
