[The Jovial Forester]

175 Daggers at Gateshead which is a pretty amazing turnout for us for such a long distance one.

Great effort.

Outstanding effort. Long, long way to go!

50 at the most from Southport today.

Also its been announced that the Sutton game on the 21st will be the ''grand'' opening of our new stand.

sorry but have to disagree with that. between 80 - 100 southport fans today at our place, numbers estimated from our security people. decent turnout considering.

 

[Josh Butler]

266 Chorley at Stockport
84 Boston at Halifax

 

[Josh Butler]

Interesting to note Halifax give away turnouts in their programme. Weird considering several teams don't have segregation. Also noted a couple of contradictions to my previous figures.

 

[B2TF]

Maybe they just don't bother with segregation for Boston?

 

[Josh Butler]

We don't get segregated much, only alty, fylde, Tamworth, Gainsborough, Stockport, kiddy and Halifax I think, but curzon and Brackley don't segregate anyone. Wonder what Bradford will do when you visit

 

[B2TF]

Can't recall being segregated at BPA before, in fact a fair few of our fans have historically supported them when The Shaymen have been playing away elsewhere- their ground is 5 miles from The Shay. There was even a contingent of their fans at Wembley to support us there. Used to be a huge derby game in days gone by, regularly over 20,000 in attendance. According to some of their fans we even deliberately threw a game in the 60s so that they would be relegated too, and we could continue to play them.

586 Lincoln at Aldershot.

Excellent support.

 

[RLC]

Dulwich have confirmed that we will receive 450 tickets for the Trophy semi-final first leg, should they win on Tuesday.

 

[fifaking]

Around 120 Wrexham fans I'd guesstimate at Braintree

 

[Tranmerewhite]

What's parking like at Barrow? Making the trip up for the first time on Tuesday.

 

[Clem Fandango]

BPA away never attracts much support from us for some reason, always the lowest total in the entire season and yesterday was no different. Just 21 in total from Gloucester, some of which managed to get into the "home only" weird shed thing behind the goal.

 

[GTFCfish]

What's parking like at Barrow?

Same as it is everywhere else, brake and clutch at same time to come to a gradual stop, into neutral, handbrake on, get out of the car, lock the car, etc.......

Edit: sorry, in a really silly mood today lol.

Last season I parked in the Asda round the corner for a couple of quid. I think there is quite a bit of street parking too.

Automatic handbrake and gears. Just have to press the stop start on mine

At some Asdas you get a refund if you spend a tenner or more in store.

Ten quid for tissues, is Barrow in London?

Must have been a battle to get in there through the throngs of home fans.

I have not got a spare tenner with the number of games we are playing !

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Our coach was initially parked up on that bit of cleared waste ground across the road from Holker Street. There was piles of bricks at regular intervals so it looked like it'd been set out for some police riot control exercise with us a bait

 

[Pablosammy]

I parked on a side street literally a couple of minutes away, and will do the same on Tuesday. No bother.

Cars are more complicated than that these days. Mine goes something like... cruise at 20mph until the car detects a suitable parking space. Engage park assist and allow car to parallel park into an impossibly small space. Think I've stalled for a second before realising it's the auto stop start, and then press the stop/start button to stop the already stationary engine. Wonder for a second whether I've actually shut the thing down and whether the parking brake is engaged, and spend a few seconds longing for a proper hand brake. Get out, and caress the handle to do the keyless lock. Check mirrors fold in as confirmation the car has locked itself. Check handle anyway, accidentally unlocking the car again. Re-lock car. Walk away, checking behind me periodically to make sure a) the silly auto headlights turn off after 30s and b) the car isn't rolling into a ditch. Finally, I'll ponder whether any of those driving aids actually aided me in any way at all.
