I've got a really horrible feeling the boot will be on the other foot this time.

You mean 30+ MK fans will be arrested?

LOL. no. That 1-0 that got us promoted.

 

[Scum.]

Oh, but looking forward to this again next weekend.

I believe the two blokes pictured talking over the netting while all other mans field invaded (sorry, I’ll get me coat) did agree to grab a bite and some pinot in the Marco Pierre White restaurant at the stadium hotel. The Mansfield chap said he would pay for the drinks, hence the shock on the MK fan’s face. The unruly lot in the second picture were unhappy due to there being no tables free until later in the evening and so exchanged soft drinks with each other to remain hydrated (some with heat exhaustion forgot to throw the drink with the lid and just threw the lids only) over a line of yellow jacketed people.

That's about 100 more than I thought would bother after the Harrogate debacle, so fair play to the poor sods.

Can you imagine what our numbers would be if we had just one season where we weren’t shit?

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

1200-1300 would be my guess.

If we can overtake Salford in this table, the season will not have been in vain.

We are all behind you…you can do it

 

[joethegill]

Shame to finish up just below the 700 mark considering the fantastic support we've had for the majority of the season. Few long distance trips mixed with form falling off a cliff has finally seen off some of the diehards in the latter stages of the season.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

1200-1300 would be my guess.

Difficult to say as we’ve been mostly losing games for about 25 years. If we were mid table the numbers would no higher because we are good at rallying round a really shit team for key games.

Our last automatic promotion was 91 and our numbers weren’t particularly good that season compared to current levels. There were still a lot of hoolies around then and attendances overall are a lot higher now.
In our last two title winning seasons, 71/72 and 79/80, we were massive though…

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Lots of teams down here have mostly been losing games for about 25 years.

Definitely difficult to say was nothing more than uneducated guess based on this season's stats.

I saw a stat quoted - I think on the Fishy, we have lost the most EFL games since 2000 and that’s with 7 years in the NL! Fenty did us a favour after all…

Evidence from our title winning years would say higher, but it’s so long ago it was all pay on the day with little or no restriction - 7k to Donny and Hull, several 4-5ks to Scunny, Rotherham, Chesterfield Mansfield Barnsley etc. but we’d never get those allocations now.
So after all that, you are probably right…

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

What about 7k to Grimsby?.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

What about 7k to Grimsby?.

We’ll never do that, most of our fans don’t live there any more…

 

[Crewelad87]

Our initial allocation of 400 seats at Morecambe pretty much sold out. They've said they won't open the terrace though but will give us another 100 seats no pay on the day it seems.

Right well my logic is that we took 5k to Brighton on a Sunday afternoon last season, and most trips are shorter than that, coupled with most games being on Saturdays and let me work it out, mmm I reckon a conservative estimate of 7-8k average if having a good season which would probably put us second in the whole of the EFL averages for that season - behind Leeds.

Likewise.
