I’ve a feeling most of us may be underestimating the impact on numbers that the extreme heat will have. Somewhere between 4500 and 5000 is probably about right. Looks likely to be around 33 degrees Celsius by 4pm (92 in Fahrenheit) and that’s in the shade of course.
Keep drinking the water, folks, and enjoy the match.
It was a very hot day but IMO that is an appalling attendance for our Club at this level. We were never going to fill Hayes' - what was it 25000 seater - stadium but just above 4000 plus away fans?
Unusual weather and an unusual result. I always like it when somebody new gets the title of Forecaster of the Week. I just wish I had been it had been my score prediction which was close. Showing a top fifteen this week as around 5000 was a popular prediction.
Congruatulations to all the highlighted players who recorded double digit scores.
And for the away crowd:
Congratulations to @ryan_w_kirkby2 and @Shev who were jointly very close indeed. Highlighting for this one is for single digit scores - this might become the norm for the rest of the season.

Should have taken my own advice and gone lower figure of my ‘spread’.

That was a sparse attendance figure considering it would, I assume include season ticket holders, some of whom will be away on holiday?
