But we didn't fill half of it we only had 1/3 of the away end if you recall and my estimate was 1400... The jobsworth stewards ensured that nobody went 1 inch into the other 2/3 that were not being used and stood at the top as far towards the centre of the stand we were allowed NLEM was not allowed to put a flag on the empty seats beyond... So please no more conspiracy theories about the away support being anywhere near 3000...I asked a steward how many the end held and was told 6000 so as we seemed to fill about half of it I was surprised when I heard the attendance. However I'm sure the Anfield Road end that we were in at Anfield holds 6000 and I'm fairly sure its a lot bigger than the stand at Craven Cottage, so maybe 3000 is nearer the truth and would make more sense of the 1500 quoted.
Now that said what a great night, superb atmosphere being created with the non-stop singing especially from 2-0 down... As for the match it could have been all over at half time and looked like 14 vs 11 with the passing accuracy and space Fulham were able to find.. As soon as we had possession the space was closed down immediately... It really was different gravy from anything we have come up against down in L2 and finally nice to see Ethan there to support the lads
