It is only partly true. I witnessed 2 old blokes pay on the day. Someone I know who came up from london was told "no potd... too late". He and his mate went in the home end.
There looked more than 830 to me, but being in the end always gives a false sense of it. If have guessed at 1000.
I will be shocked if we take anything over 700. Grimsby is not the easiest place to get to. 3 hours on the train.
The club didnt bother with a reminder to season ticket holders to buy a ticket cos presumably we've sold about 250 so far. That'll increase & if we win on Saturday a few more might...
