that the crowd didnt make 7000, the lack of noise in the second half in particular when the lads need it most and worst of all that only a few players came over to the fans at the end of the game CB terrace anyway - only Matty, Ritchie and Sweens that I saw the rest slinking off to the dressing room ok they were dissapointed but so were we and we still stood and applauded

i couldnt see a spare seat, standing place etc, whats the official capacity? i reckon it was full

6800 or something planty of spaces on CB terrace and in Town end

Assuming 7000 (Stewards mates and fiddle etc) Thats over 6000 from Hartlepool or roughly 7% of the population. In Nottingham that would be a 50'000 crowd, in Hull over 70'000. Forest and Hull get around 25'000 on a very good day.

Hartlepool in the end is a fairly small town so these figures aren't desperate.
