Original quote from Outback Ozzy - ' Is the ghost of Eric Whalley counting the numbers of spectators again? I though well over 3,000 on tonight.

Got to agree with the above.
I called at the office on Monday to check about ticket availability for a pal who'd agreed to attend & was told there were 300 odd tickets left for the Clayton End.
As far as I'm aware, the Clayton End capacity is 1600.
Assuming no more tickets were sold in the next 24 hrs (highly unlikely!) it means that 50% of last night's gate was behind the Clayton End?????
When you consider the Coppice End was full & even the scratting shed was packed.
When there were no fewer than 8 - yes 8! WBA supporter's coaches parked on Livingstone Road, I think someone is telling a few porkies.
