Just seen it was 1300, not awful but only a quarter of what we took whilst in league one... Ah but did you know the Fewers claim that they would take thousands more than what we currently do if they were in our position. I don’t doubt that they would have a good away following if they did make it to the Championship (zero chance of that btw) hardly surprising as it’ll be cup finals every week for a little club like theirs and it’s shame it would only be a brief visit as they’d get relegated with the fewest amount of points in history. On their latest pipe dream of a stadium, whether it would effect them or those so say interested in the land or not I’m not sure but I know for a fact atleast 1 of the companies situated around that area have now lost over half of their warehouse due to it slowly subsiding into the river behind. Whether that effects the regeneration plans I’m unsure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would imagine that curiosity alone would send their home crowds up, but those aren’t the kind of supporters that will suddenly start travelling away, hence their % figure will take a knock.

Something they do all the time and we don't. Btw Charlton was a complete pain in the ass getting to and from compared to previous times.

pongo88 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I’ve just read, in the Post, that Holloway has bought £100k of shares in Grimsby FC. Is it any wonder he got the job? This must be unique, a manager paying a club money to give him a job. He also has a seat on the board, which means he can vote against any motions to give him the sack.

We have played them since, first season in the Championship and a couple of games after LJ took over. If I remember correctly we won 2-0. Despite being in the bottom four at the time we still took over 2200, that’s about a thousand more than the Gas managed on Wednesday and they’re fighting for the Play Offs. But then according to them they travel everywhere in huge numbers and their away support is miles better than ours so there you go.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pointless, boring, playground like, and means **** all, WTF is there to boast about having better travelling numbers than, lets face it, pretty much irrelevant neighbours.? It getting almost embarrassing on our part now, childlike 'banter'. Lets stick to the genuinely amusing banter created by their own habit of providing us with regular gifts that keep on giving... It wont be long before they give us something out of the blue that is really worth commenting on. Do we really give a shit how many of 'em pile into their minibuses for trips up and down the frigging motorways?, we've laughed at ridiculous claims from some of them around being superfans …. To be honest I really couldn't give a shit if they actually did have numbers rivalling ours.. It is a shit topic. Keep an eye out for their next 'gift' though, something worth responding to will be along soon, sure as day follows night. COYR's (PS, I know loads of what I post must bug many of you big time, but if I'm allowed one more moan for now, can I say how much the overuse of the word 'DELUDED' really, really, bugs the shite out of me, f'ing deluded this, deluded that … argggh! ) Edited January 3, 2020 by WhistleHappy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they can no longer pass tickets through the fence, they're saving the pennies through purchasing Junior tickets instead. The club has become increasingly aware of reports of adult supporters entering the stadium on Junior tickets. Numerous reports over the past few games have been made of adult supporters gaining access to the stadium on concession tickets. This act, not only represents a breach of ground regulations but also has a negative effect on the clubs finances and the majority of law-abiding supporters that pay their way. For the match with Peterborough and moving forward, there will be increased checks on supporters tickets to ensure that supporters are using a ticket within the correct age band. Any supporters not in the correct bracket will be removed from the stadium. In addition to this, anyone wishing to purchase a ticket or tickets from the ticket office will be required to provide proof of age for all of those attending. We urge all supporters to think twice before engaging in such fraudulent activity as this really does have a negative impact on the club. We would also like to thank the majority of supporters for their unwavering support and understanding. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really interested in their collective mental health re delusion etc... and I'm even less interested in their inability to count properly, I'm sure that has something to do with the varying amount of digits they have between them on each hand....
