Good point - I hadn't even thought about the loss of hospitality revenue but it's spot on. Fewer takers and lower spend - double whammy. 3pm ko and you can get people to hang around after as well. A game finishing at 2.30 they'll feck off home.

Let's all have a go at Notts - 500 to Grimsby for a key Division 2 promotion clash in 1981. That created a perception in my formative teenage brain that Notts had utterly shite support. We were due to go Hillsborough shortly after, same distance, we'd filled 2 specials, and dozens of coaches...

It is harsh yes, apart from your ridiculously good numbers this season, I think most clubs are seeing a diminution of away support, outside of local derbies, when televised. Sky is having a big impact. Last season Notts would have sold out at Salford I expect (?). Could be worse next season -...

Yep, spot on. The signs were all there that you could punish us if we lost possession with the midfield exposed. Curtis Thompson wasn't at his best but first half he was at least effective enough at slowing your very slick transitions. He started the second like his was running in treacle. If...

Now now, let's just say settling down to more like historic levels.

I said at HT we need to treat this like an away game now. Crewe were saying - after you, you have the ball,, we should have been more polite, no after you. We could have had a second half like that infamous World Cup game Germany v Austria - the disgrace of Dijon, but at least we'd have got a...

More than good. Mansfield's away support numbers are superb this season.

456 sold was reported today. Need that result v Crewe tomorrow and we could sell out the 650. Will be well over 500 anyway. It's a very nice bit of symmetry with the Yowth drawing the Fancy Dans Yowth at Blundell Park. As we have that history with Spurs not fancying their "Tuesday night at...

Yes the bane of the BELTS has carried on notching in the EFL. He doesn't really look like a footballer anywhere except in the penalty box, looks ungainly elsewhere. There were rumours that we tried to sign him when we were NL but don't know the truth in that. Kent for Cleethorpes never a likely...

We only had 1200 at Mansfield with an early Boxing Day ko last season - very low for us for an 80 mile away day time game. If that had been live on Sky as well it could have been sub-1000. 1100 would be decent in the circumstances.

Maybe, it's an early KO but not on TV. I see the whole fixture list is on Sky on Boxing Day - that will surely affect travelling fans quite a lot with no trains as well.

You have us at home after that - according to the form book nothing is trickier than that, although I think the last time we won at your place I still had hair...1991?

A lot of the Artell out brigade probably only go to Donny and Notts home and away or watch those on TV so in their eyes we are shit...

Couldn't really see the seats from TV, GY SLO sometimes tweets the Town following but not seen anything

Based upon current form being away in the second leg would be a big advantage for us. We'd be spanked at home with Notts cruising at 0-3, we snatch a late goal, then at Meadow Lane we unleash the new Artellawayball with the Green (Beckham)assist and Obikwu power running on goal. It would...

Both great crowds with TV yes, but the Crewe one was outstanding. Usually your night game crowds seem to be like ours, a good bit lower (1.5/2k) compared to Saturday. We didn't have a Tuesday night league crowd over 6k for nearly 20 years - until we played Wrexham...

Being above us in the league doesn't always end well for you though. Actually, I'd be delighted to finish in 6th with you in 5th again...

No figure yet for us at Morcambe - looked about 300 on the terrace - maybe 350 in total.

Great turn out that. LNER must have been working then...
