I heard 540 on the tannoy but the ET says 640.....?

It was a devastating display full of quality all over the pitch. I've not seen anything like that since R & D smashed 8 past Gateshead.

The official website says attendance to be confirmed.

Just had to relive that. Now we just need a few more of that crowd to come down HR.

John Gregory confirmed 540. Still a decent turnout considering summer holiday/august bank holiday weekend.

Like already said, the opposition were very poor (although weren't that bad going forward and could have had a couple more themselves if not for poor finishing), but I honestly think that's one of the best, if not the best performances in terms of quality I've seen from us since we reformed, I think you'd struggle to see a better display of football at this level, that period of 10 minutes in the first half was simply breathtaking, and even if there were a few issues with complacency at the back, I think very few teams in this league will be able to cope with the strength of our attack if we can play like that on a regular basis, we seem so much stronger than we were last season with players like Gyasi and Smith, Fairlamb looked like a great player, but I think even he'd struggle to get back into the team after that performance.

Monday will be a different story though I'm sure, Kempston should be a lot tougher.

Told you, I'm a jinx.

Will there be any highlights for us absent fans??

I see the Kempston ones are up already - will there be any of the Fleet match?
