Cheers for that, few errors but will use it as basis until I get a confirmed figure.

Also great if you want to relive any classic dust ups between your chosen club and Cardiff!

645 Brighton, dunno if that's fair or crap for a team chasing the PL

Id say its a fair following to say its a night game on sky and also been a long distance to travel.

Looked like they had more then that when watching on the TV...

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Nah that corner holds 1800 and it was about 2/3rds empty give or take

771 is a fair bit more than I was expecting tbh.

2934 Rotherham at MK

Can someone advise on why all clubs appear to take a way above average following to the MK Franchise?

New ground factor for a few, cheap prices, central location, expect to win, to be fair the stadium is one of the better soul destroying new builds.

Still fucking hate em

Big allocation, new ground...

Well it was a huge game for Rotherham but I think it's purely location and the fact that you can pretty much get an unlimited amount of tickets.

The Virgin train from Preston can get you there in less than 2 hours, it's a nothing journey for anyone in the Midlands and London.

Yes.
We may have had a series of useless managers but our tumbling down the leagues started with ITV Digital collapse and GTFC have never cheated by going into administration - and they just bought their place in the League in an instant...

Cheated who/what exactly?

Two relegations, a 37 point deduction over two years, being close to extinction twice and being bailed out by the generosity of local fans of others teams in your area is enough punishment without a Grimsby fan giving it the big un to explain their mediocrity.

Hmm trigger happy aren't you - if you follow the thread my main target was the franchising of FL status, perhaps also with a sideswipe at the pre-point deduction cheats that used administration to write off debts whilst still being active in the transfer market. Some even got a new stadium on the cheap out of it (current Premiership leaders ?!).

And I'd be delighted if we were mediocre...

 

[DippyDon]

I like Grimsby, you basically handed us our first trophy in this form.
Thank you

Absolutely but it's nice to see they are 'human' after all.

Still better than Cardiff

Nah. It was John Newman's team, and Tom Casey before that signed Joe Water and discovered all the youngsters - Ford, Drinkell, K Moore, Donovan, Cummings...cracking atmosphere in the Railway End at Millmoor - alleyway access a bit dodgy though...

Yeah loved Milllmoor it was a proper old fashioned ground and the away end was great for making a racket like you say, bit similar to Blundell Park in some ways, im hoping proper clubs like yourselfs, Lincoln, Wrexham, Stockport and Tranmere get back to where you should be soon, clubs what take 50 fans away like Accrington, Dagenham and Morecombe get right on my tits.
