28,000 at Coventry 17:37 - Feb 10 with 1664 views | SandyDrum | I took a jaunt to the Ricoh today with an Accrington supporting mate seeing as our game was off and it was only a fiver to get in! Their pitch is absolutely knackered, almost as bad as ours v Millwall minus the sand, it looks like most lower league pitches have suffered this winter. Vincenti came on in the 2nd half and was anonymous, looks destined for a trip back to the conference, maybe with Aldershot again, he's not fit for league football from what I can tell. Was really good seeing 28k for a League 2 game, sadly there was more like 10k left after 70 minutes, I can't see many floating fans returning after that! It also brought along the typical yoofs in Stone Island jackets who were goading us in the away end, they were just laughed at and kicked out by the stewards, very funny. Credit where credits due, Accrington look good and I can see them going up this season. It cost £10 to park at the Ricoh, the match ticket was £5....work that one out! Back up the M6 we go (when we're eventually allowed to leave the car park...) | |

I said to my mate who is that number 11, he's running the show. I spat my drink out when he told me it was Sean McConville, he was dreadful when I saw him play against Southport in a pre season friendly for us as a trialist under Coleman. Just out of interest how many fans did Accrington bring? | | | |

Thanks that's a very good turn out, that's more then they've ever taken to us. Doing well and the fiver entry would help of course. To answer D_Alien in 1961 Crystal Palace v Millwall in the 4th Division had an attendance of 37,774. A world record 4th tier attendance until Rangers broke it in 2012 | | | |
