Hyperbole, alive and well in Beveree

Back from 2 weeks away and I see that the web site is still in exaggeration mode.
Hyperbole - way of speaking or writing that makes someone or something sound much bigger, better, smaller, worse, more unusual, etc., than they are:.
A record crowd descended on Beveree on Good Friday as Hampton & Richmond were held to a 0-0 draw Tonbridge Angels.2031 supporters arrived in TW12 to support Mel Gwinnett's side in their quest for the play-offs, with the Angels arriving comfortably mid-table with little to play for.
I offer a few bigger crowds from our recent history, and, so I am not accused of 'hyperbole' have split them into League, Cup, Play-Offs & Friendlies...
League; 3,225 v AFC Wimbledon, 18/04/2009
2,520 v AFC Wimbledon, 11/10/2005
2,376 v Enfield Town, 23/04/2016
F A Cup; 2,720 v Oldham Athletic, 12/11/2018
2,252 v Dagenham & Redbridge, 10/11/2007
Play-Offs; 3,127 v Braintree Town, 13/05/2018
3,111 v Hayes & Yeading, 07/05/2009
Friendly; 3,118 v West Ham United, 17/07/2008
I suppose the explanation given would be , well we weren't around then and this is the NEW New!
