It was the Gills fault on winning the toss and not kicking towards the away end in the second half. Very strange.

Eurgh I fucking hate it when teams do that, absolutely pointless.

 

[F!RTHY]

3,200 sold for Donny. Guessing at this rate, an additional allocation will have to be considered.

What’s the away end at Donny hold, 4,300?

 

[LS Bantam]

Online ticket office says Doncaster is sold out, surely scope to increase capacity?

Just been confirmed - SOLD OUT!

I think we could shift another 1,000, but I think this depends entirely on South Yorkshire’s finest.

Only reason not to give you more is plod, normally you can have 4,100

 

[Conker]

We were given and sold out 3300 last season in the FA Cup, not sure why you got 100 less. Maybe due to more home demand for this game, we asked for more so I presume police got involved then also.

Not remotely enough home interest to fill the stands we already have, got to be a policing reason

Only twice have I noticed massive compared to usual police presence including horses recently and that’s Donny and Bradford away.

Plod around that way must love the over time.

Our allocation is 3,304, they only went of general sale over the weekend which is why the last 300 or so will have gone in the space of an hour or so. A lot of our fans still don’t seem to know how to use a computer so probably waited but the ticket office was open today!

Just wait until you meet the GMP. Half a regiment's worth of horses and a drone for our game v Tranmere, where literally nothing happened.

That must piss off your board, all that extra revenue we would generate for you if we were allowed a further 800 tickets, which we would sell

We get this same every season away at Mansfield and I’ve never seen anything ever happen there.

I doubt they will be happy but not a lot they can do. I’ve rarely seen any trouble even from Leeds and Millwall, in fact the only bother I’ve seen in the ground was from Birmingham fans, not really sure why all of a sudden there is an issue

 

[GFCSludge]

Don’t act silly, I sit close to the north stand and I barely heard owt all game. Great numbers, no noise.

Righto.

Oh dear Southampton, this is probably the stupidest thing you could have done if you didn't want inflatables in the ground...

I remember back in the mid 90’s some red top newspaper ran a front page article on our fans singing a certain celery song and chucking celery on the pitch during it (completely fictitious of course apart from the song occasionally) which led to the FA issuing a statement saying throwing celery during a match was not permitted.

You can guess what happened at the next game…

Superb stuff. Be right back, just Googling inflatable celery.

Ahhh, amongst the 15 year olds. Odd lot.

It was a fairly rubbish away day all told, I don't think many travelled with too much optimism for anything more than a point so that probably had an effect. After the first 10 all the play was all down the far end from us for the majority of the rest of the game which doesn't help the 'involvement' aspect either.

tbh i didn’t hear a peep from the gillingham fans all game, which is odd given the fantastic numbers you travelled in

Ouch. Just the 1,300 less than last year... I know it's Valentine's Day, but that's the mood around the club summed up perfectly.

 

[immariner]

297 GY at Gillingham

Feels low for us but we are away again on Saturday. And shit. Except in the cup obvs

Yeah I was hoping for 500 or so but I realised that I was using Southend last season as a yardstick (midweek, similar distance, similar time of year) but I failed to factor in that we have Mariners TV now. Apparently we'd sold 700 on Saturday for Northampton so I reckon we'll be pushing four figures on Saturday.

Think motorway problems depleted the SWA a bit, with others arriving late, but not the kind of performance to inspire you to go back for more!

Also three away games in ten days, and we took 1,600 and 500 (midweek) to the other two.
