Today was probably our 'derby' of the season - the best chance of a really good attendance.
SCFC were only provided with 1050 tickets - the away turn out eventually given as 988 in a total attendance of 5,777.
That meant that today we had just 4,789 home supporters - I really was expecting more but was quite surprised how many empty seats were on show in the upper Yale and sides of Mold Road. Being sat in the tech End it probably looked sparse too but when your in it you can never tell.
So, in conclusion - within a month between Barrow and Stockport we have lost 869 of our fans - despite the claims that many people were on holiday early in the month and today's fixture was far more appealing than playing Barrow.
So, this takes us forward to Tuesday night v Maidenhead.
The downside is the opposition lack any real appeal (unlike SCFC).
They will bring a handful of supporters - skateboard full at most.
Many schools go back on Wednesday if not sooner - so that will knock a few kids and accompanying parents off the total (especially out of towners)
Anyone care to estimate the attendance on Tuesday ? against a very much in form Maidenhead. if we lose that one they might as well play behind closed doors next Saturday - not even a free wafer biscuit will drag me there.

If this was a teatime tv game or moved to Sunday I bet more people would have attended today.
I reckon around 4000ish there on Tuesday. Depends on the weather and how people feel after todays result!
