I doubt that.

350 maybe?
Bought my ticket online yesterday, it was numbered 232. I assume that is the number that had been sold up to that point.

Re: New/clarified laws this season

Still believe a 'free kick' should be allowed to be taken immediately....if the opposing player has not retreated the minimum distance [?] then it should be moved 10m in the direction of play. If multiple offences from one free kick and ends up in the box then a penalty! How many time do we see a g...

Indeed. In terms of England, what could have been if they had a proper, world class wicket keeper they could have chosen... Bairstow, I think, dropped 3 catches and missed an easy stumping. I'm not sure how many runs those players then went on to make after they should have been dismissed but it wa...

Re: The scrap below

Let;s put our away fan numbers in perspective.

I would estimate that we have 3000 hard core fans. If we take, say, 450 to an away game that is 15%.

It is equivalent to 4500 fans from a club that has 30,000 hard core fans.

We don't do so bad at all.
