Town’s FanZone attendance record was broken ahead of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers with 4,848 supporters coming through the gates.

The previous record was 4,421 at the Charlton game on the final day of last season, the fifth time a new highest attendance was set during 2021/22.

The Blues have made a number of changes to the FanZone for the new season with an outdoor screen showing the earlier TV game and a matchday presenter, Dave Vant, while former skipper Carlos Edwards was the special guest for the Trotters' visit.

Orraman added 11:31 - Aug 3 If the presenter Dave Vant is going to continue he needs to be told to tone down the screaming into the mic. All this does is distort the message so that all it becomes is a noise. We fans want to enjoy a chat pre match with an overpriced pint not listen to this over excited individual sounding as if he is about to have his first orgasm. The FanZone has grown and grown without his intervention. Let it continue to be a place of pre match enjoyment for adults as well as the hundreds of kids who seem to have a great time

Westy added 16:40 - Aug 3 Despite this, I feel the Club have made some poor decisions,. Some of the bars that were there last season have gone - less choice, too long to get surved, way to expensive (£5.25 a pint) and paper cups really spoilt it

Pendejo added 19:04 - Aug 3 For Charlton there was an extra "pop up" bar, really needed one of those Saturday. Also food prices more tasty than the food... ££££££££
