Title: Opening day crowds......
Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, August 9, 2005, 13:34:50
.....The highest opening weekend crowds since 1963 have welcomed the start of the new Coca-Cola Football League season......from official site.

  Not at the CG they don't... on August 24th 1963 the crowd for the opener v Scunthorpe was 18 451... 4 straight wins later and the visit of Man City,  saw not only a 3-0 win but a gate of 28,173, not exceded for 6 years.

Show-off!!   :D

Swindon never seem to obey the trends...  Our attendences are currently dependent on general feelings on King at the time.  Currently, there seems to be little confidence, although not really through King's doings - more through lack of funds.
