The only time that I've seen Geoff Eltringham officiate was a Reserves fixture between Newcastle United and Manchester City in 2009. :nod: Title: Re: Referee Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Friday, May 3, 2013, 13:40:18 What are the crowds like for Premier League reserve games? 1000?
Title: Re: Referee Post by: Costanza on Friday, May 3, 2013, 13:55:48 What are the crowds like for Premier League reserve games? 1000? That one was at St. James' Park and was about 1400 (who am I kidding? It was 1457) - It was no more than £3 entry. Others I've seen at SJP had gates ranging between 2000-3000 depending on the opposition. Games at the Northumberland F.A. ground in West Allotment sees about 500 people turn up as it's out-of-town (but still easy to get to). Very much a Non-League ground. It was quite amusing leaning against the railings watching Peter Beardsley shout instructions to Sol Campbell. I quite like watching reserves football. You don't have to be a genius to figure out who'll make it when you go to these games, they always stick out. I saw plenty of now recognised Premier League players during that time. Also, it's a brilliant way for parents to take their kids to games on the cheap and see decent pool of talent. |
