I have no idea why they should lie but I cannot believe there were over 5000 there. Looked more like 4000. Do they count all season ticket holders as present? A big block near me in the West Stand was empty.
I certainly thought nearer 4000 than 5000.......the East Stand was barely filled, but strangely had Cobblers fans right down to the south end today.....some sort of promotion/giveaway??
Walsall brought less than 400 compared to 600 last season.......and yes there were big gaps in the West.
