Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
unfortunately there isn't really a response to that. Many people will be the same. Many will come every week whatever nature throws at us, some of those will go in the shed, some will pay two quid extra and sit if there is space. But some just will not come in the rain. The crowd on saturday is probably our base support and that is the number that should be counted in the budgets (probably is). Anything above that is a bonus, but would always be above that with cover. I personally was torn between the stand and the Clayton End, but only cos I wanted a beer at half time. In the end I went behind the goals because that is where I will always watch football and it is where the atmosphere is. Sometimes, JPT games etc I will not pay £13 to stand on an empty terrace to get cold and wet during an atmpospherically lacking game. But with a roof I would.
