At least you can offer the larger away capacity though that's what irks me we can only off 1k or whatever it is to the better supported clubs whereas Donny can offer what 3k ? Thats a 2k fans difference in income in our respective games .
It looked full to me in the home ends Saturday even in The Osmond , but only 6k announced think I am going to write off our attendance figures as just not correct now
Hoping some of the more well resourced but reckless clubs come in for 1 or 2 of our better players in the summer 300k-500k would mean we can keep reinvesting in these more out the box signings from weird leagues ; the icelandic lad is far better than some of these 'name' players as will the new...
Always liked Cheltenham there has always been little crossovers with Town : Pell , the play-off final ; more recently George Lloyd and Curtis Thompson + the lad we on loan at right back from you last season - I'm not sure whatever happened to him though ?
Will be a tough game for us your home...
I think Barnet play York soon a lot might rest on that as they both seem to win most weeks .
Agree with the replays thing that was seriously weird and seemed a bit of an f you to the efl really .
It will be interesting when we play you again in that re-arranged game how it goes now we are playing a bit more of a 'league 2' style and mixing it with bits of the football , how it goes + Crowley just seemed to dominate us - should be a really good game that just a shame it's a midweek and...
It isn't just the capacity thing for me it's the disabled facilities and lack of 'proper view' seats - even for the away fans I mean probably 1/3 can't see all the pitch if it's a decent turnout and although people will pay £25 sheets to follow their team , if you went to the cinema and could...
I love BP and all the more nostalgic old school grounds but the sad truth is we will never be able to make any upwards progress above league 2 or at a push arse end league 1 and struggling unless we get into a new ground ; there must be a plan to move still behind the scenes surely ?
I know...
We were good today and Donny had an off day although I will caveat that with the fact we came up with a much better game plan than what we had against them when they pumped us earlier in the season and last , no meaningless tippy tappy and getting killed on the turnover which made a pleasant...
I remember my last match at Belle Vue a cup game when we were at the start of our downward spiral in league 1 maybe what 20 years ago? Bedlam that night there a proper tasty atmosphere with Disco des and someone else getting sent off ; Donny won , they were maybe NL at that time and viewed very...
I think our main issue next season might be expectation will be play-offs at least if we stay down . We always do better as underdogs historically , this season i expected bad to average and we have exceeded that really .
It's been circa 800-1k down on ticket sales every announced attendance at BP going off counting the seats on the map about 6800 sold for carlisle announced 5.7k i think . Will be interesting to see the announced when we play you with it being a crappy midweek 1 re-arranged I think about 7.5 had...
loved it thay when we signed Mcatee in an interview that Scunny chairman said something like 'with all due respect Grimsby are a small non league club ' or something along those lines - funny how things turned out
I want all the relative big spenders gone and the least competitive to come up , i reckon we will have a chance next season assuming we don't do a Crawley ! Which i still think is unlikely . But the more 'league 2 ' it is the better for the more well run/moderate spenders like us i think ...
I don't get how we are 1k + short of home fans on this time last year - we are doing loads better but there seems less interest from the fans , it's weird .
The home attendance was even quite a bit short of ST holders , we might end up averaging 5.5k this season unless they pick up which must...
Carlisle were not the worse side but hit us on one of our 50% of the time good days should have been 4 or 5 -2 probably although there was a decision/chance that would /could have put Carlisle 2-0 up but the ref was dire like normal and didnt see what is now classed as a hand ball and gave our...
