Lark, that's bollocks. As I said before, I've been going since the 1960's and I reckon the figure was spot on. We've had 6,000 crowds with no one in the right 3 blocks of the Medway Upper Stand or often the last one to the right in the lower Medway. All of those were close to full today. The odd one was the Rainham End. Often the middle sections are full whilst the two end blocks are nearly empty. Today, there were empty seats but spread right across. Overall I reckon the Rainham End had more than usual because the usually empty blocks were at least 80% full. The Gordon Road Stand was significantly fuller today than even for the Charlton game. For sirkeefy's benefit, the crowd for the Charlton game last year was 8,670.
As people have pointed out in the past, there is no benefit to the club whatsoever in the crowd being overstated. Frankly some of you sound like a bunch of nutty conspiracy theorists.
