plenty of pics on twitter showing empty seats

Can you post them?

 

[chiefdave]

Is there more 'home' fans there than last time?

If I was in Fishers job and the crowd today doesn't turn out to be substantially bigger I'd be very worried. Decent enough weather, bank holiday weekend, couple of good results and no legends game should all add up to a much bigger turn out than the first home game. If it isn't I'm not sure there's any chance of it getting significantly better over the course of the season.

HT 1-1

After a nervy first 15 minutes we've been on top

 

[chiefdave]

it's a really odd matchday when you're just following on twitter and on here. I can't remember the last time I've been in the country and not either at the game or listening to CWR.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

Sounds like a very lively first half, lots of chances for both sides with City just on top. Shpuld be a fascinating second half.

 

[CarpyCov84]

According to CWR there's more CCFC fans there than the Bristol game :-/

 

[intercity]

Linnell bangin on about the amount of fans on the hill

 

[CarpyCov84]

Linnell sounded smug about lads on the hill "today's attendance on the hill........10"

The Guy is a Twat

 

[Marty]

WTF is wrong with SSN. Will show some goals but not others.

hard to tell from the pics on twitter but the main stand looks around the same (busy in the middle then thinning out as you go towards the goal lines), the 'home' end behind the goal looks like there's less than before and PNE have a lot less than Bristol.

I thought we were reliably informed by the likes of Easterngreen and Edgy that Preston had packed out 25 coaches plus, over 1300 fans... oh dear.
I expect them to announce a few 100 more 'home fans' how many are paying who knows, we wont find out in our lifetime.

and yes Linnell is a prize c-unit.

 

[Marty]

A couple of the crowd from PNE twitter. https://twitter.com/pnefc

Only looks 400-500 in the away end.

 

[lifelongcityfan]

Linnel is obnoxious, he stated the main stand was full, with only the odd seat spare, and derided the fans on the hill.

 

[intercity]

preston lot probably saving themselves for Tuesday night at burnley

Yeah that's about right 500-600 I would say. Then about 1200-1300 cov fans I would say.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

According to CWR the main stand is very full, very few empty seats. Many more City fans than for the Bristol game.

2nd half underway

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Good chance missed by L Clarke

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

The lowest Cov home league crowd in the club’s history, 2,059, set in February 1928 for a Monday afternoon 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace....

Are we about to break the record?? probably a close one...

 

[James Smith]

what the bloody hells going on lol!

Probably too many players named Clarke on the pitch and someone got confused.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Easy Murphy save from a Preston free kick

Hopefully. You'll always get a few weak ones that will cave in after a couple of wins.

 

[Covstar]

2068... avoided the lowest ever by 9 fans.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

1500 Cov fans in attendance

 

[treenie01]

Don't know whether it's interesting ot not but just noticed that the Sky reporter is inside the concourse....not showing any pictures of the crowd.

Are you sure. They usually stand at the back of the east stand. If they stood on the concourse they wouldn't be able to see the game

 

[ricohman]

2078 attendance

Yep it was at the back of a stand, all white.

“@pnefc: The teams are out here at Sixfields and ready for kick off! http://pic.twitter.com/p7GPdcqj73” #poor crowd

Hope we do better in the second half.

plenty of kids there with strange accents

 

[tuousis]

They do have Internet in Northampton you know

And they even have TANNOYS.

 

[valiant15]

That's 1500 to many.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

562 PNE .. where's that other thread :0)

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

Perhaps concourse was the wrong word, definitely 'inside'the stand. Noticed for the first report so looked more closely at the second. No sign of the pitch or the crowd.
