That's bad news, hope he recovers soon. I see he scored last night before his injury, so this could be good news for us.
Somebody only put a joke the other week asking for me to give him a dodgy curry the night before. Certainly didn't wish this upon him and was looking forward to seeing him play against us! :(

Their ground capacity is 2000.
How is standing capacity calculated though? If 2,000 were at Spencer's ground nobody would be able to see a thing!

Absolutely no idea, just quoting the figure I found on the Internet. I suppose they've allowed for fans shinning up a few trees. :D People were querying Hayden Road's capacity before our match with R & H and even though there were nearly 1200 there I think it would have accommodated another 500 at least.
Can't see that attendance being beaten on Saturday.

So looking forward to this one, we could only dream of being in a position like this a year or 2 ago. Though it will be undoubtedly one of our toughest games of the season, none of our rivals at the top have managed to beat them at their place only Harrowby managed it and I expect plenty of nerves about, including on the pitch, we may be unbeaten in 20 or so games but I can't see that meaning anything for this one, they're going to have to put in a big performance imo. And I still think we might manage over 1000, like I said on the other thread, all sorts of people come out of the woodwork for these games. Very excited!

I did suggest the dodgy curry, and he scored that night against Witworths. Let's hope he recovers fully from the injury.

2000 my arse, I just counted around 120 seats, I would suggest anything around a 1000 and there will be no spaces left around the pitch, the problem arises when people want to swap ends, so basically one end of the pitch is not always used.
