That seems perfectly plausible If you apply gas logic... 1 hour ago, NOTBLUE said: You couldn't make it up.......or apparently you can. Regarding the conference final - "Socrates" is saying they took 37K The grimbsy local rag reported on May 10th that Grimbsy had sold around 10K and the gas around 25K (note this was one full week before the final) - that leaves the total at that point 12k short of the 47k that actually attended on the day. Using his gas logic "taking 37k" means EVERY one of the tickets bought in the last week running up to the match was sold to a gashead! Utterly delusional! This would also handily be ignoring the early bird offer that was run by the conference/wembely and EE, and any tickets actually bought by neutral. There is a more "reasonable and likely" scenario as below: The report states that one week before the match ticket sales were 10K Grimsby and 25K gas (as above) lets assume also that on the day there were 2K early bird / neutrals (in reality it may have been less/more but it doesnt make his deluded 37k either way) so this would leave 10K tickets total to be sold in the last week, and it ssems reasonable to assume these also sold at ratio of 1 to 2.5 Grimsby to gas like before the final week - statistically speaking the 35K sample they have at the stage the newspaper reported is a pretty good inidcator. the final total then would be 12.9K Grimsby - 32.2K gas and 2K early bird Now if the early bird and neutral figure was higher (which could easily be the case) it would push the gas attendance below that mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Net produced a nice touch of the traditional Rovers sense of humour which is almost extinct now. I frequent OTIB because of the hilarity of posters poking fun at the absurdities which come out of The Mem and which have hardly dried up since Nicholas left. We keep scoring the own goals so it's not surprising City fans make the most of it. This light hearted mirth is what football rivalry should be about but sadly the "banter" coming the other way is too often tinged with resentment. Even today there is a gaschat post encouraging fans to boycott Argos because they have been taken over by Sainsburys but thankfully sensible posters are discouraging such nonsense. How we got to this point is hard to say because in the days of "Ashton Alf" and "Eastville Ern" Rovers fans had a distinctive character which certainly did not include boastfulness, exaggeration or the type of paranoiac blind faith we see today., Edited May 23, 2017 by bert tann 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well it seems their training ground plans have been drawn up finalised and will be submitted soon - heard they are pretty decent with large facilities and more than a dozen pitches of varying sizes and playing surfaces.
