A crowd of 4,655 people - a 1,500 increase on Oxford's last home game - turned up at the Kassam Stadium to see the dawn of a new era for Ebbsfleet.

 

The attendances for Oxford's last five home League games.

 

In reverse chronological order...

 

Woking - 4,713

Torquay United - 4,633

York City - 4,944

Salisbury City - 4,231

Aldershot Town - 5,811.

 

So about average then?

What an odd thing for them to write, in that case.

Ah, their last game was in the FA Cup and the attendance was a fraction under 3,000. So I guess the article's technically correct, albeit rather misleading indeed.

So the article was right but you are still seeing a conpiracy, there's a surprise.

60% of stats are made up,

althought here is a 57% chance that claim is not true!

I agree ... 97.5834736398% of statistics are invented

Taken from the Observer...

 

Paul Kinge was one of the prospective new owners of Ebbsfleet at the Kassam Stadium to witness a goalless draw but, more importantly, the beginning of life for the Gravesend club under the 20,000 stakeholders who will, once the deal goes through in the new year, vote for the side head coach Liam Daish will play. Kinge did not have the other 19,999 of his brethren for company in the away end. In fact, Will Brooks' Big Idea began with an apparently inverse effect - there were only 196, rather than the 208 who made the trip from Kent last year.
