I think i've been at Steel Park previously when there's been around 230 there and it looked extremely sparse. Considering that terrace behind the goal alone could probably hold 2000.

I see Troy Johnston is playing for K*ttering.

It will be interesting to see how many turn up when it is a certainty they cannot avoid relegation. I think that may be the case as they are likely to get a further 10 point deduction for breach of CVA. Troy is using the club to try and achieve something better, because I think our whole squad could play for KTFuC

That is after K*ttering taking the lead in the first few minutes through Lewis Wilson.

What are Northampton doing sending Lewis to K*ttering? How does it help his development? Anyway LOL at the attendance and scoreline.

Yep, obviously at some point they want to be able to turn a corner and be on the up again but until that happens they're going to have to suffer with sub 200 crowds, it really would be better for them to reform in the UCL and get rid of all the stuff with the CVA and lease and bull**** off their backs. Low level or not, they'll get better crowds for a club on the up and winning a few games than one on its way down, which may very well continue if they're in the SL central next season.

Though I think 187 is just about the lowest they can get right now, surely anyone who's going to abandon ship has already done so?

@JonDunhamNT: I have been reliably informed by historian Paul Cooke that tonight's crowd of 187 is the third lowest in the history of @SaveKTFC #wow

Assuming a proportion of the 187 were season ticket holders, one wonders if the takings will cover the costs of hiring Steel Park, paying for the floodlights / match officials etc - let alone the player expenses, or contribution towards the costs for the next away game.

Perhaps they might struggle to see out the season on gates like that.
