Swindon Town Vs Accrington Official Matchday thread.

The away count would include hospitality and board members etc. too.  They still get a ticket, even though they don't pay for it.  It still gets added to teh matchday count.  I counted 50 in the away section and it's not inconceivable that there were 30 in the directors box to do with hospitality/directors/sponsorship/backroom staff.

You came back from sunny California to watch Accrington?! I hope you had a better reason!

But when Macc brought down 35 or wahtever, you could actually count 35, unless they didnt bring any hospitality fans etc?

Odd - just checked the stats on the BBC and we had 58% possession overall. Didn't feel that way to be honest, maybe just the effect of the second half. To me it was a very 'italian' win, getting the 2-0 lead so early and never looking like conceding. More goals would have been nice, and there were some chances. I also think the treadmill of Sat, Tues is starting to impact on them (albeit we have won 9 league games in a row... still can't quite believe that). Accrington looked exactly what they are, a mid table team who will finish mid table.
