I'm a bit suprised IF only 30% [ circa 500 ] of Darts fans could be bothered to attend after 18 months of no football and the opportunity to get a first hand look at the new signings
Obviously family duties and COVID restrictions [ eg me !! ] will clash but wouldnt have expected it to be a great number ??
Also it's the middle of the cricket season and a Wimbledon final....
I thought there were probably more like 600-700 Darts fans their and i think compared to previous seasons friendlies that's pretty good.
Whilst it has been some time since we could watch a game and you might expect more to have come on the reverse some just don't like friendlies and there's possibly a few who have been hit hard by the pandemic and couldn't attend. I doubt we will know for sure until the season starts but fortunately the crowds for pre-season look like they will generate some decent money for the club so i'm very happy with that.
As for the game it was really enjoyable and very happy with what i witnessed on the playing side.

I spoke to a few Ipswich fans and they estimated about 800 to 900 fans were travelling down.
I dont really understand why fans dont like [pre-season] friendlies as it gives us the chance to "run the rule " over the new signings and see possible decent trialists also meet up with fans who we have not seen for several months and it also puts a few quid in the Dartford budget !!
