Fair play to every single one of them
I thought ‘that’s a terrible turnout’ then thought how many fans would carry on going to see a team who loses every week. Although they weren’t as terrible a team as I’d imagine to be fair.

1166 Wrexham in a crowd of 3145 at Alty. Possibly some away fans in amongst the home but cannot confirm.

200/250 max Gateshead at Darlo today, awful following for a 45 minute journey and the team flying.
It's almost as if paying top end league prices to stand in a field with a crap view, no cover, getting drenched isn't overly attractive
I've no doubt Darlington would be comfortably averaging 2k if they played at an actual ground like feethams or even the arena. Regardless of location (not that Blackwell meadows is miles out of the way)

There’s plenty of room and space to watch the game from the designated away end, although it’s not the most attractive - surely they should be bringing a lot more than that?

Gateshead has a terrible view for away fans too, but I would absolutely guarantee if that was us in such good form, we’d have taken well over 1000+.

Don’t like that argument of “it’s a rubbish view, or the grounds shit”. You’re there to support your team for roughly 2 hours. York managed to do okay with the 3/400 they brought.

Yeah because if it wasn’t for that Gateshead would’ve easily taken about 3000.
Fantastically supported club.

Pretty decent that. Any idea how many you're looking at bringing to us (assuming the game is on)?
Not as many I imagine. It’s on TV and some people may be back at work. We could get a similar number, but I’m thinking 400-500 will be closer to realistic. Doesn’t help that it’s been made all ticket(fair enough after debacle at home with your tickets) but considering nearly half of our following on day at chesterfield was tickets purchased at the game itself. Means some people might forget to buy.

Seems that we're close to selling out our allocation for Woking on Sunday.

Got no idea what our allocation actually is though

I'd argue york taking 3/400 to a game 30 min away by rail and under an hour by road is a particularly poor effort given their home gates, even allowing for how poor they've been.
I wonder why that is...
Gateshead have about 500 hard-core if that, they're just basically a pasttime for bored Newcastle/Sunderland fans so I can't say I expected them to take hundreds. They're at blyth on Sunday. 14 miles away. Bet they don't take 350

I suppose most neutrals would look at brackley taking 46 to ours as shocking. I think it's actually the most they've ever taken to us and their home crowds have only gone from around 250 to 350 in 8 seasons in div6

A tad over 100ish Fylde at Chester. If to guess I'd say 120.

B2TF bought his ticket for it 3 weeks ago before they were even on sale.

Some absolutely fuming Wrexham fans on Twitter at not getting a ticket for it. I reckon you’ve massively fucked up by just leaving it to us to sell them when we told you the allocation, surely the club must’ve known there was massive demand for it? We always sell away tickets to members/season ticket holders first even when we’re never going to sell out.
Rumour on twitter that more tickets will be released to Wrexham fans tomorrow..is that likely?

I know we've had 1,500 there before but after the barrier incidents it got dropped to 900 a couple of years ago - 1,200 and it selling out just before the game would make sense
I might be wrong, but I think Grimsby had around 1,200.

1,500 was always a bit optimistic - unless everyone stands perfectly evenly, it means some fans standing in front of the barrier.

I totally agree it's not the best of views to watch a football game for a couple of hours, just as bad or even probably worse is Spendymoor's away end. I'm not sure whether you've visited that ground with Boston. And they've got a rich sugar daddy who I don't think to my knowledge has spent a dime on that away end over the years that I've visited, pains me to hand over my cash to stand in that crap away end. Like Andy's pointed out we are their to follow our club.

Feethams is dead and buried it's now unfortunately a fuckin housing estate, indeed we could do with a new ground like Feethams but that ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. As for the Arena that's got rusty over the years with neglect, see that disappearing as well further down the line.

So freezing ya bollocks off down at Blackwell Meadows is the best of what we can do at the moment :sad:
