I normally don't pay any attention to what's said on Crew Forum but I'm being fed constant email messages (despite not wanting them) from a non-striking friend who is a member of that site who has another friend who is at Bedfont..... So this info is third hand..... BUT the info I'm getting is that attendance is superb.
HOWEVER, the press seem to be suggesting otherwise.
Another case of "who to believe". Personally, I pick neither of them.
