I just wandered about and thought to myself that it was a pretty decent crowd compared to other meetings. I guessed at around 2000 - which is what you get at Basingstoke Ice Hockey. It was not stated as fact. Please accept my forgiveness if I over estimated the size of the crowd. I wasn't being deliberately positive. It was a mistake. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I know how annoying that can be. All I know is that I went to the back straight for a bit of peace and quiet only to find it infested with humans. Disgruntled, I returned back to the home straight, muttering about all those damn interlopers being in a place that is normally kept for quiet contemplation. The crowd last night was better than normal. Let's just leave it at that. You are quite naturally forgiven. Genuine repentance means just that. What is unusual is that you found a location that normally offers peace and quiet to be infested with humans. The Abbey has much to be thankful for last night at least. A better crowd than normal is sadly the best any club can hope for nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw Malcolm was ten years ago when he looked a bit like Van Damme in the Coors Light adverts. Unless, of course, that was you, Sidney, with a grey mullet and faded jeans?

One of the sponsors was saying to me that you get around 200-300 not paying. Don't know why they don't publish the crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
