Looking at the Gloucester City fans forum, they think the attendance was understated and that it was more around the 1200 mark. They also comment on their near neighbours, Forest Green Rovers, having an attendance of just over 500 last night, so, taking account of away fans, there were less than 500 FGR fans. Surely they only survive because of Dale Vince’s money.

Not just you, I was wondering why I could not get sound.

Sometimes you have to turn on the little speaker in the video frame.

There was no official segregation in place so no figure was given

seems a bit strange though as you had to buy a Barrow ticket on the website ( so was expecting segregation) so surely they could of give one with tickets being scanned

No idea didn’t get given a team sheet so don’t know who the officials were

To be honest it wouldn’t have been hard to be an improvement on Saturday

I paid on the gate and there was no question of where I wanted to sit or stand, just an announcement to away fans not to go into the home end behind the goal which was a bit livelier than the rest. I’d estimate 40
Fans there was a small travellers choice bus at Frankley services which was maybe a 25 seater.

Thanks Adam that explains it also do you happen to know the attendance from last night ? and another point a few comments on here about how the team could do with a bit of media training surely you are your mates in the press box might be able to help out on that one. Ha I like giving people jobs.
It was announced as 934, I think (can't remember exact figure), a figure which was met with incredulity by AJ and Chris.
Wow! That really is harking back to the good old days when a club chairman could tell you what the gate would be in the clubhouse before the game!
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...
