That's piss poor, no?

Yep very good that, guessing new ground factor will have persuaded quite a few extra to go?

Very poor. This team deserve better support home and away at the moment. Hopefully if our form carries on the crowds will go up.

I expected more, or what I mean is swap our scenario around and I reckon Mansfield would have beaten that comfortably at Scunthorpe.

Respect to all of them following that though, its tough to part money while you are playing so poorly.

Mansfield is a bigger place than Scunthorpe and you get larger home crowds so I would expect you to take more away as well

Nope.

Edit: shit sorry for some reason I thought you were away at FGR!
Not taking the piss I just got my grounds muddled up!

2nd edit: I also still agree that it’s decent numbers for you given your awful start to the season.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

399 Northampton.

We seem to have given out every away attendance except Cambridge for some reason.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Nope.

If Scunny had taken 554 to some place in Gloucestershire after their start it would have been the following of the season! Only 50 odd miles to Mansfield but 20% of home fans numbers is still a good effort. Still think Hurst will sort it out if he's given time to...

646 Salford at Morecambe. They're surprising me with their away numbers so far. Much better than I thought.

I wonder if International break made a difference with more "Man Utd" fans going.

Free travel as well I think, plus a seaside day out fairly locally I guess.

As opposed to our superb 255 at Newport !!
To be fair this season Grimsby and Newport followings have been atrocious from us.
Ticked the ground off yesterday, what a flea pit . Probably the equivalent of a tier 8 ground

 

[The Terminator]

Had a lovely 30th at Brisbane Road, got fucking twatted 4-0, believe it was Kanes first ever goal that game.

Couple of personal highlights was a tramp supping his own piss outside a boozer at Bethnal Green and my pal going to McDonald's and walking into Kings Cross not St Pancras and missing last train direct home.

Got better we scraped a 2 all draw at home to 9 man Yeovil a few days later

Fuck off Alan Irvine

That day was my 26th Birthday, I was out all night afterwards

We were expecting 8-900 so thought the crowd was low, but as Bogotá dan mentions given the form etc.

What’s the allocation like at Field Mill these days?

 

[AdamStag]

What’s the allocation like at Field Mill these days?

About 9,000 technically.

Away end is 1,700 or so, the home ends about 7,500 but if there’s an extra area covered off or out over-zealous police/SAG get involved it’s anyone’s guess.

It’s not often someone takes an interest in us so got to make the most of it!

My mate was at your game yesterday, he was impressed with how your fanzone etc was set up.

Yeah they’ve made a really good effort with it, remains to be seen how busy it will be when the weather turns. It’s a good little set up

628 according to Salford official site report. Not that it makes a massive difference.

 

[Son of Cod]

Wow missed the Crewe announcement yesterday. Didn't look any smaller than the last day of last season. 145 is pathetic though given their form.

Apart crewe macclesfield Salford and walsall we arnt going take many to any of the other away games. Got exeter on a tuesday night next might not even get over 100 for that.
Crewe have had alot of long distance away trips so far middlesborough Crawley newport and grimsby not really appealing games to go to even if playing well.
