Walking into brough park sign says masks should be worn in crowded places,so have taken mine off!

And I was just gonna ask wot the crowds are like now this season...........

Went to the double header (Poole & Plymouth) last season & optimism was higher with a good turn out. 

Just hope Newcastle survive.

Same here... Rob watching from the back straight miles away from the riders, rather than in the pits stirring them on...

It would be hard to throw a number out, but we arrived at 10 to and our ticket numbers were in the 400s... Still think a lot of people come in for free through the pits... Even 500 fans is woeful, even for a National League side...

Must admit my patience for George is running out rapidly, surely there's a better option out there... Even Justin Sedgmen would be better... At least it would put James at reserve for a month or so... And the BWD scenario is just getting silly now...

 

Sedgmen ?? No thanks

850?? Just a wild guess from someone '...dahn sarf!'

I'd say 500ish (I counted and there aren't many places to hide at Brough so probably a fair estimate).

Not very encouraging attendance wise?

Just one personal gripe why doesn't Diamonds get played when the riders are doing there parade call me old fashioned but I'm sure it's been played since the reopening in 97.

Dont think riders help on parade,helmets on before been introduced even moving off before coin toss let the fans see u guys the kids love it

What would sedgmen give us an extra 3 to 4 points a meeting on a good day.. & if he did come in for instance who gets dropped

George? Extra 5 points today and you win… at this rate Newcastle wont get a win all season… do you honestly think you will stay open based on that?

Mr Worrall by any chance? His name got announced and he didn't acknowledge the crowd or anything was too busy being pushed off by his mechanic.

I don't understand that comment, Congreave is averaging less than a point & Sedgmen is 5.5, so clearly he's a lot stronger!

"Even Justin Sedgmen would be better" sound to me like you think Sedgmen would get a 1.5 ave?
