Did they do a head count? Did they multiply the actual number by 10, then add 100, then round up to the nearest 100? Imagine the embarrassment of driving to Woking.....and then being locked out! Comedy gold!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can count 17 in that picture, so I think it must be multiply by 20 then take off 40 to account for any exaggeration. Of course we will get told there was another gate where the missing 283 are waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People slate our Social Media on here but the day they celebrate the anniversary of taking a poxy 1800 a couple of hours up the road is the day I want one of my kids to shoot me in the back of my head to save me from the agony of cringing myself to death.

The usual methodology when Rovers were NLBRFC was to count how many turned up late and couldn't get in - then add 299. For League and Cup matches the same method applies, but count the latecomers then add 9,999. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the Tote Enders who still think it’s the mid-70’s turned up to sleepy Woking reminiscing about Millwall and started intimidating anyone wearing anything red, racially abusing people and punching horses. They were easy to identify and arrest as they were bald with 1 or 2 teeth, wearing a 70’s replica home shirt and carrying motorcycle chains whilst singing the bow legged chicken song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their focus on having some people locked out (because it was a non league ground, rather than any exceptionally spectacular sized following) seems to over shadow that fact that they were A) NON league..! & B) Held to a goalless draw by a NON league side...!

Well if the 300 locked out were stood by that gate, it looks like they doubled it, then multiplied (that's times, or the X on your calculator Saggies) by 10. There's 15 at a push there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that they would lock 300 people out (if we were to believe the Rovers fan) with the ground barely more than half full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw 300 of their Neanderthals walking towards the ground dragging their knuckles and grunting wouldn`t you lock the gates pretty sharpish?

Tinmans Love Child Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Funny how they never talk of how many get locked out at home games! I mean even if you took it as fact that they have amazing away support, and take 40k to Wembley etc etc surely that just highlights how incredibly poor the home support is, so why boast about it?

Spurs took no away fans, the fewers have an away fan, and if you count the number of empty seats at Sheffield, there will be far more that at the Mem when Rovers played them. Conclusive proof the Fewers are bigger than both Sheffield United AND Spurs. #DoubleGasLogic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
