[I am Spartacus]

And now for the most important statistic,
the number of Hayden White Stepovers:

First half - two (one a double and one a triple)
Second half - none

[daddycool]

Hayden whites crosses
First half none
Second half. Even less.

Trevor Kettle . Definitely of the whistling variety . Stopped the game from flowing and boiling over . Thought Pearce was going to be in hot water though with that pullback . Overall , not my cup of tea .

Should KP have been sent off second half? Couldn’t tell in the QLE but he looked like the last defender.

My initial reaction was he was off. But there was cover so perhaps yellow was right but had he been sent off I wouldn't have had any complaints

[Bradders]

We were unlucky in added time at the end. Most days there would have been a scrambled goal or a penalty in that situation. There did appear to be a handball. I'd love to see those last couple of minutes again.

I thought Woolery had a lot of work to do to create a shooting chance, and I think that's why the ref just produced a yellow

[cassellswasmagic]

A good decision with the yellow then. The west stand linesman is the worst I’ve ever seen.

Not seen a replay, but live (from Q Block -a bit too noisy for me ) I thought it was a stonewall red, as of course did the Swindon fans. He also should have shown a second yellow to the Swindon No 3 for the pull back on Bishop.

the ref definitely bottled not booking Doughty for a second time. That was a clear yellow, as I said in commentary at the time.

Indeed he did bottle it, he knew if he gave the free kick he would have to book the player, so he gave nothing.

Anyone really impressed by the crowd? Getting 5k home fans after playing at home 4 days ago against Swindon I thought was brilliant and if we keep this form up it could become regular later in the season.

It was a good show. I see that our average is almost identical to the Sheep. We are on an upswing and they aren’t.

And they declare ST holders even if they don’t turn up!
Our home attendances have increased dramatically over the last few seasons and this season’s are almost 1000 up on 2016/17 and over 1500 up on 2014/15 season.

They lie about many things - not least of which the attendances.

Surely it would be illegal to fraudulently include non attending season ticket holders in attendance figures? It's called "attendance" for a reason.

Where would be the gain in the fraud? Suppressing attendance figures for sure but not exagerating them.

[gazza1988]

Surely from a health and safety perspective. If they have a fire during a game and only 1 or 2 thousand pearl evacuate. Could get messy.

It’s a fairly common accountancy practice whereby the ST income is held and then declared at the point of use (1/23rd of ST cost) in order to spread VAT liability across the season rather than having one big VAT bill before the start of the season.

They will/should have an accurate figure on the day for this purpose.

[Chrisuknottm]

Re attendance figures , clubs in most sports take the option of giving "tickets sold" as their attendance figure.....Leicester Tigers started to do it around ten years ago and got a lot of flak for it when building the new stand and slightly after as a justification whereas like at Stags the regular supporters could guage the actual numbers.......as for Health & Safety I suspect that a different actual figure would be available if needed from the comercial one......lies, damn lies and statistics !!

[part time pete]

I would suggest there are actually three different attendance figures

1) Paying customers who actually turn up

2) Customers who bought tickets whether they turn up or not.

3) everyone inside the ground including customers and staff for H&S purposes.

I feel the first one should be the reported official attendance.

Lying raspberries! 'Incredible support' my arse. Half the inbreds weren't even there!
