SUB-5,000 GATE DOESN'T WORRY ADKINS
Posted on: Sun 28 Sep 2008
Iron boss Nigel Adkins isn't worried that a crowd of less than 5,000 watched his side record their seventh straight win.
The League One pacesetters are now sitting second, and level on points with leaders Oldham.
He wasn't too downhearted by the fact that a smaller crowd turned out than the one for Scunthorpe's last home game against Carlisle, though.
"We've got to remember that there's an economic problem going on in the world," Adkins told BBC Radio Humberside.
"It's hard-earned cash that people spend, and what we're trying to do is provide a product that's entertaining to watch - as well as winning football.
"I think we've managed that. It was definitely value for money, there was great entertainment throughout, some great passages of play, several ooh's and aah's and that was the seventh straight win.
"Hopefully we'll keep putting smiles on people's faces."
He added: "We'll keep chipping away one game at a time. We have to manage expectation levels.
"Some of the football on Saturday was outstanding, and the supporters should really enjoy coming to watch the game."
