Our attendance last night

[canary cherub 1]

. . . was nearly as high as all the other southern division games put together.

The second highest was MK Dons (4410).

Brilliant effort.

N&P closed aswell as the top tier of Barclay.

That turn out surprised me,  bet the Board was too.

I expected a reasonable attendance at only £5 a seat. Does anybody know whether the revenue generated by last night''s match was sufficient to cover all the costs of opening the stadium?

Dunno if it covered opening the stadium but obviously they underestimated how many would be there as they ran out of pies by half time!!!!

[Lord Horn 0]

And....like the Sunderland game, only half the bars were open in the Lower Barclay lounge at half time which meant I missed the first five mins of the second half!

mentioned elsewhere but the prices last night were ideal for families to attend , my 9 year old enjoyed himself and with school holidays still on , why not attract kids - boost the crowd

And a home draw next round would be even better for the fans, who knows might even get 18.000+ what a night that would be

With the low prices I thought they''d be a reasonable turnout!

 

The 12500 crowd must be a record at this stage of the JPT?

 

I''ve been at many top flight games at Carrow Road with lower crowds than last nights!

That site says that just over 41,000 fans attended in the 16 games played. 12,500 of these were at city, well done everyone!

Plenty there last night however don''t get too excited, one comment from behind me was "1 minute extra what does that mean?"

Atmosphere was poor due to most of the ''supporters'' having no idea who they were watching.

I tried singing a few chants but gave up due to nobody within 10 seats of me knew what to sing!

I can probably beat that. A handful of seconds in, the little lad behind me turned to his dad and said "which team is which?". [:D] He was probably only about 5 though bless him; he had a long chat with Delia (this was the row in front of the director''s box) at half-time about when he was going back to school.

I was once told by a Director that it cost £30,000 to open the stadium, lights.police,stewards,cleaners,insurance,etc. 12,000 @ £5 is £60,000 so with the sale of pies,pints and programmes one would think that NCFC made about £40.000 on the match of which I suppose the visitors would take between £5,000 and £10,000.

Nice little earner?

Almost certain to be on sale in the shop, to be honest at £2 for about 8 pages not value for money.
