Otherwise, the Blue Few will take it as fact, even those who were at Wembley and witnessed Grimsby fans behind the other goal with their own eyes and even those who look at the video evidence on this thread and dismiss it as some deep fake by them gurt teds Edited July 11, 2023 by Merrick's Marvels 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forgot the ever important Watney Cup of course; and “away following as a percentage of home attendance” Would of been fairer to compare Bristol Manor Farm with the gas.

About 15,000 Gasheads came dressed as red seats for some reason? As others have pointed out, Grimsby had the other end. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 As is so often the case, Rovers kept the information about how many actual tickets they sold for a Final close to their chest preferring instead to allow the vivid imagination of their supporters decide the final amount. In reality a couple of days before the final they had sold between 24k and 25k with over 42k tickets sold at that point. It’s highly unlikely that no Grimsby fans bought tickets in those last couple of days so in reality they didn’t reach 30k and certainly nowhere near the 40k that many of their idiotic fans and management claim. Judging by the empty seats in the top tier, 27k would be my guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Another big fee for a big player for us today. That makes 3 in one window. Are they still trying to break their £300k transfer record 453 years later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this 40K myth a while back Basiaclly we know these facts Attendance was 47,029 Between one week and 4 days before teh match TWO seperate sources (including their own website) had said the gas had sold around 24-25K We also know from the report on the Grimsby local paper that Grimsby Town had sold at least 10K So clearly the rovers portion of the attendance was NOT 40K and in reality was probably below 35K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they did take 30k its still a decent amount they just dont need to lie. What winds me up is some people believe them even some of our own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the other post below it said that 42500 had already been sold and Rovers had sold “over” 24k of those (so basically between 24k and 25k). So 30k is also highly unlikely as well 3 hours ago, IdliketoRogerMoore said: I thought it was about 27k gas 14/15k Grimsby and the rest was given away and corporate! If I remember correctly!

We all know why they constantly lie about it, it’s because we took 42k a month earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 So they took 40k but only 25k watched the football. Always plenty to do in London. Presumably the missing 15k went to see the sights, take in a show etc, then met up with the bus after the game. All very plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 So, the fact that they lost by only one goal in a pre-season friendly, against a team that would have finished two points behind us, if they'd collected another four points, means that we're not light years ahead of them... Right you are. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
