900+ now sold for Stevenage.

Trying to think of the last time we had a non-FA Cup game where we've sold so many.

Slightly off topic, someone has posted this on our board. It relates to games in the old Div 4 (now L2) in 1986. Just look at the attendances, 6 teams had less than 2000 (Wrexham only just into four figures), 4 with less than 3000,though bizarrely Mansfield had 8000, presumably a promotion party.

Just goes to show how far we have come since those days.

Good to see famous faces Paul Heaton and Neville Chamberlain getting in the goals too.

Over 1,000 now - must be a big game.

I'm informed we took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003. That's our best, non-cup, away following ever. We won't get near that on Saturday for a number of reasons.

Yes, and they will tell you they've always been massive ...

Well not really. We were coming off the back of successive relegation from the second tier, the town was on its arse with the coal mines closing a few years earlier and the Steelworks on its way out. Also I can't imagine Torquay brought many.

That is low even for the bad times, although I think we dipped under a thousand a few times around that time.
