You know when your mind totally blanks? Yeah, I'm having one of those moments. So, I'm looking for a word. It means people who are following an event, watching a match, etc. I think it starts with a P. But maybe I'm crazy. I got too much sun today (a rarity in Seattle).
It would fit into a sentence like this:
The _______________ following the game found it interesting.
Argh, like a pirate, why can't I think of the word?
