You're right Kipax. Of course it isn't just a lack of roof that stops people coming, but to lose so many fans must make an enormous dent in the mediocre income the club receives anyway. That was my point.
I never stand in the open, even when the Sun is shining. I always stand under the Whinney Hill cover and yesterday it was significantly fuller than it normally is. No surprise there then. When Burnley and Blackburn aren't playing at home we normally pick up the drifters. Yesterday we didn't.

As I said in my original post, I've never mentioned the lack of roof before, but I included the large drop in attendance alongside a number of other observations.
