No, it's just under 6K (c.2000 in the stand and 3950 max. on the BB) and some room on the BB was taken up by the camera position. There will also have been quite a few no-shows, there are nearly always at least 100; the WBA number was 363 though they will presumably have had 378 tickets. All tickets sold will be very carefully accounted for as the FA get 10% and WBA 45% of the net takings.
Lee Mason had a clear view of that blatent 'handball' and I'm assuming considered it to be ball to hand. I certainly did; although some might say he had time to pull his hand away.
If that was "ball to hand" then I'm a frigging Dutchman. Mason messed up big time in not giving it.
Depends Jase. If everyone stops because they think it's a handball (and yes, they shouldn't, they should play to the whistle) then once they realise it isn't they're on the back foot chasing back.
Yes, my point is more purely around the time lapsed, and the number of movements made between the incident and the goal.
The stuff of nightmares ! Don't think I could have brought myself to go, after the shameful debacle of last time !
But we would have been a different number so might not have!
