On the contrary Gazza. As you, and the other usual suspects on this forum are forever pointing out to us Clarets, crowd sizes mean absolutely nothing in the context of the Ryman League.
However, as the "Melbourne mongs" have pointed out over on the soapbox, the Ricay away attendances were boosted by the two away playoff games, which were watched by a total of around 5,300 fans. These two matches alone added some 230 to your average away attendances - away matches that unfortunately we Clarets were unable to participate in.

Away match, BC...away match that you were unable to participate.

YES! - that's what I said.
Had you finished above us in the table, the playoff semi would have been an away match for us (almost certainly at NL), and provided us with an away attendance of (say) 2,500, whilst you would have lost the 2,200 away attendance which you enjoyed at Melbourne Park. Puts a completely different slant on the statistics above.
BUT, as stated in my original post, (and a hundred or so on this forum during last season), attendance statistics stand for NOTHING.

We appreciate your patronage BC...

Just out of interest has BFJ ever brought in a player to Chelmo that has not at some time played for Canvey (or been in jail ;~))

Glad to hear Ryan is as caustic as ever!!....by the way whats happened at Gravesend?..have they sold their souls to the demon pound?....

Gravesend is now Ebsfleet. The whole area is to be bulldozed to make way for a new space station or something like that.
