Question Cambridge or Gateshead?

[Suffolk Blue]

I enjoyed this game - particularly second half - ref should have sent a Gateshead lad off - he did enough bad tackles for at least 3 yellows - I understand the ref will be in L2 next year.
One thing that puzzled me was the injury time - the Cambridge lad went down injured on about 87 mins - at 90 mins the 4th official put up 7 mins added time. The Cambridge guy eventually got strechered off about 4 mins later - but they still only played 7 mins - didn't make sense to me - shouldn't there have been another 3-4 mins added-added time?

Following this on the BBC the full time whistle was timed at 90 +10. gateshead had 2 attempts at 90 +10 so it must have been almost 90 +11. About what you thought should have been played then.

Cambridge is a top day out. Great pubs too and plenty of Shrimpers usually.

1976/77 - 3-2 to us. Was magnificent.

Always liked the trip to Cambridge. Look forward to it again.

On balance, we are better off for travelling next season.

We've lost:-

Bristol Rovers 175 miles distance

Torquay 244

Chesterfield 182

Scunthorpe 191

Rochdale 242
_______

1034

We've Gained:-

Luton 67

Cambridge 71

Shrewsbury 193

Stevenage 60

Tranmere 244

Carlisle 324
______
949

It was pretty good, until I got to bloody Carlisle! However we've got three close destinations there and we can add Wycombe, Northampton, Portsmouth, Daggenham, Wimbledon, Oxford.....and perhaps Cheltenham.

No way, i would be surpirsed if it gets more than we did on saturday.

Fleetwood's average attendance: 2,819
Burton's average attendance: 2,720

Both in the bottom 6 for average attendances this season. Pretty poor. However, there will undoubtedly be the plastic fans who turn up, just like we found out at Wembley last year.

For the record, our average attendance this season was 5,959

I think if we have a good season and sign some class up top we will see that rise especially with Luton stevanage and Cambridge coming our way.

I'd love to see a 7k+ average, but for that to happen we have to challenging for the autos or top from the off.

19,613 was actually the 2nd lowest Conference play-off final crowd since they have been back at Wembley.
The average Conference final crowd at the new Wembley before yesterdays game was 35,987.

Cambridge had about 12,000 fans and they had already been to Wembley a few weeks back for the Trophy Final. It was also their 4th game at the new Wembley.

What is also crazy about the Conference final is that the cheapest adult ticket price was £39 the cheapest League 2 play-off final ticket for an adult is £26.

The current League 2 play-off final average crowd at the new Wembley is 42,370.

In the light of some pretty awesome stats I have amended my post:

1. 'Totally sh*te gate for Conference. Be interested to see whether the Div 2 play-off final reaches even that'
