Not massively surprised.
Firstly, the season ticket issue - for a normal league game a ST holder gets counted in the attendance simply because he / she has bought a ST - physically he / she could be anywhere in the world - except the Racecourse but still be counted - a strange rue but there we have it.
All those attending today had to pay.
Remembrance Sunday pulled at many people's loyalties especially with the 1245 pm KO which made it even more difficult for those attempting to attend both a morning service and the match.
All could, and in my view should have been avoided and the game played on the Saturday - TV rights dictating the day / time of kick off was too much - especially today.
Interestingly there were other factors which didn't help - those trying to get to the Racecourse would have been in direct conflict with many attending or about to leave services - we got caught up in traffic due to road closures in the vicinity of the Hawarden service - in addition to the closures the roads around the memorial were congested with parked cars of those attending the service - it almost felt embarrassing to have to drive through the general area to get to a football match whilst all this was taking place.
Sadly it happens every year, the sacrifices so many made are needlessly put aside to screen matches on a Sunday - it's not as if Saturday wasn't available so no sharing the load between both days - heap the lot on Sunday and generate problems for far too many.
