To be fair, the game was played on a Saturday afternoon during the season; a lot of us who would have liked to be there were playing. Others were officiating, running club bars etc. Had it been played on a Sunday, I know a fair few more people who would have been there (though I was stuck Orderly Officering so wouldn't have made it even then...) I suspect the decision for a Saturday game was to give people attending he opportunity to recover from the post (well, pre, intra and post) match celebrations before going back to work.
Good effort all round.
