It was an estimate, the official attendance didn't get announced.
I'd heard it was 6342, & that Chesterfield had pre sold 175, but there looked to be about 300-350 there
I can understand why the Chesterfield players were upset by the penalty decision, they didn't do anything differently for the penalty than they had been doing most of the game, so why he decides to give a penalty for it in the 95th minute only he will know.

Cautiously optimistic for the season, but expect to not know half (at least) of the team that start this game as haven't been to any games in pre-season.
Would be...
