[E10rifle]

ATTENDANCE: 4851 (50 Exiles). Big love to the 50 Newport fans that have come up to Grimsby on a Tuesday night!

Some schlep for the deadest of dead rubbers in March.

Can't believe you're degrading the mid table cup like that.

Stockport is basically sold out for the 18th without going on general sale, shame no more can be allocated.

remove the basically.

Unreal numbers from us home and away this season.

Yep, don't remember you ever travelling quite as well as you have this season. Always been decent though, just seems like you've upped it this season. Fair play!

I don’t really think it’s specific to mansfield i think post covid and possibly growing detachment from the top sides in the PL, lower league gated have been on the rise in general.

The Co92 experiment is so successful with the people of Salford that, for their closest local derby of the season, we're giving the traditional away end to home fans instead.

Should have just given them the block with the 'O' on the seats and left the rest of the stand empty...

Just goes to show that they’d only bring what 200 or so for a game that’s maybe 10 miles away at best, yet doncaster took a decent amount, we’ve sold the away end out next week in a few days but yet both are clearly much further away.

You're not wrong but your comparing two well established EFL clubs to a juiced up NWCL club that were getting home attendances of circa 200 before the United boys rolled up, bit of a daft comparison.

Not really, whereas i get your point if they average 2,000 home fans you’d expect a good 500 of that to travel away, especially to a game down the road.

 

[PuB]

We took over 200 up there on Tuesday night.

[ForzaCounty]

I'm guessing Bratfud will take the crown in the end since, aside from Carlisle and Swindon, the rest of our away trips are to the South East

 

[ForzaCounty]

Also, you've got to say well done to Carlisle given the distances involved

Woah woah mate, that's a bit harsh. Donny have had some good times in the last few decades.

Fairly sure we'll pip Mansfield to 3rd spot, touch and go whether we'll take 2nd off you lot though. Happy enough with that considering we play half our games on Tuesdays now and we've been in 16/17th for about half the season.

we’ve northampton (would imagine they’ll be a good 1000 or so for that) and a sell out 1450 at stockport a week on saturday, swindon will be a 400 or so i’d imagine and we’d sell out whatever you give us in that dodgy stand behind the goal.

Not really bothered where we finish on some hypothetical table but it’s good that support across the board seems to be up.

Hmm possibly - our average has come down by 100+ following two Tues night trips to Gills and Walsall.

Remaining away fixtures:

Newport tomorrow: sold 600 - talks of taking a 1,000 down prior to the snowfall - probs around 650 ish

Crewe - this is the chosen fixture for our annual naughty boys outing. Expecting trouble and a 2,200+ travelling contingent.

Rochdale - should imagine we’ll sell whatever they give us - 3,500 ish

Crawley - never travel well down these parts, but I’d expect 800-1000

Swindon (Tues) - if there’s anything really riding on it, I think we’ll fetch 1,000

Northampton - I think Salford would even shift what they allocate. 1,200 or whatever it is.

Using conservative estimates, it’s puts us on about 1,250 ish

Even we took 950 to Stockport…

 

[GTFCfish]

I personally think FA Cup away games should be added on to these averages too so just bang another 8800 on to our total please………..

I agree to that after taking 4k to Hillsborough.

really?

free buses?

Nope new ground for most I think. We’ve not been non league like some others you see.

Ah right,

i’ve seen us away at stockport in 3 divisions

still, 900 odd for northampton is a cracking effort by your standards!, well done.

Fairly sure there was another table that showed Le Stade d'Edgeley averaged the most visitors in the division, even with our relatively restricted allocation.

Best away day there is on the choo-choos.

Look at the numbers; unless Donny give you about 10,000 tickets then I don't think you'll come close to us and Bratfud...

Bradford and Donny should add 6000+ onto our total, plus we've got Mansfield which will be close to another four figure (would have been sold out had it been when it was originally scheduled), I think we could be about as close to you as you are to Bradford looking at remaining fixtures.

I'm not so sure we'll take that many for those two, Wembley will be an expensive trip...

 

[E10rifle]

Hmm. Hartlepool, Salford, Sutton plus Mansfield & Gillingham on Tuesday nights and Bradford last game of the season. Should hold steady-ish with where we are now.

You think you’ll bring a few up on the last day then? Champions elect an’all that.
