Unchanged team then, I don't feel at all confident with that back four but I hope to be proven wrong.

Chaney on for Lathrope. Tactical or injury?

Apparently went down at the end of the first half, so injury I'd assume. Hopefully nothing serious.

just announced that gate tonight. 2279. thats encouraging for the start of the season. But after the tight restrictions on expenditure last season which looks as if its going to carry on this season. what is the new break even figure for gates now. if its the same then we are now 429 up which is quite a high figure and has repercussions for later on if we need more players. or better still we are not in the red and can still afford a little more. can anyone enlighten us

Not bad for a Tuesday night Conference game with a 100% loss rate behind us! Hopefully a win tonight and we'll see it even bigger on Saturday.

Apart from the Barrow match at the end of last season, we haven't had a higher home attendance since Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day 2014.

Also the highest Tuesday night crowd since 2013, and that was against Plymouth.

The most reasonable comparison is 2 years ago, the opening home match of 2014/15. We'd just lost away at Gateshead on the opening day and had Welling at home on the Tuesday night. 1895 were there that evening, so we're 384 up on that.

I wonder how many of the attendance made it down from Bromley.

They did pretty well at Plainmoor last time, as I recall..

37.

If those numbers aren't too scary against them...
