Sorry Jeff I was on duty at Ewood last Saturday and I would have to say that if there was 25,000 on the ground then it was the empty seats. Rovers only requested 1 Ambulance to be in attendace so that means a gate of 5,000 to 15,000 after that more vehicles would have been requried. A crowd of 25k would require 2 Ambulances and ISU with 2 Officers, 3 Paramedics and 3 Technicians.
