That attendance is way off.The main stand was full apart from the small section at the very end and the east stand looked 3/4 full from where I was sitting opposite.The Star had a figure of 5408 which seems more realistic.
The attendance was 4,406. The main stand had 800 empty seats in it (section A wasn't sold, section B had only about 50 people in a section of 476 and the front four rows of the three middle sections weren't sold for restricted views)
I know for a fact the papers initially took a figure supplied wrongly by a steward which he had overheard and remembered wrongly. It was corrected within two minutes but by then some of them had gone to print with it.
