Where's the official figure from? Our journalist has tweeted 4,987 and he will only quote what's given to him by the officials at the ground.

The Newport website also has 4,987

It’s from the BBC, but Alfie should know by now to take what they post with a pinch of salt.

BBC don’t include away fans for some reason.

Really good turnout under the circumstances.

 

[Grimsby Road]

Can't get 9k in Blundell Park despite what the official capacity states. Capacity is about 8.5k. Complete league sell outs seem to range from 7.7k to 8k actual attendance. Cup we've had 8.4k
I thought 2.5k in your end and maybe 3.5 max down the sides. A thousand STHs not turning for an early Ko televised game is very typical for most clubs with a few thousand STHs I'd have thought. It certainly is for us and that rises to 1500 or 2k midweek. At grounds with 15k plus STHs midweek televised have several thousand not turning up - Bolton / Huddersfield. It's definitely worse than last season with this TV deal.

It looked full to me in the home ends Saturday even in The Osmond , but only 6k announced think I am going to write off our attendance figures as just not correct now

 

[Grimsby Road]

It was rather disappointing to see a lot of seats spare in the home areas last Saturday, as we’d sold just over 7000 home tickets and I wanted one originally behind our goal and was informed we were sold out!. I actually questioned this season whether we were doing tickets sold or turnstile clicks as some games 7k home fans were announced and it’s been quite full. Our stand behind the goal was sold out which was just over 3k sold for example, probably 2400/2500 in there looked more accurate. Our crowds are up over the past year though. Probably the weather and the game being televised?…meant a few didn’t turn up who had tickets. We aren’t helped with our 15k capacity at times though, if we ever get as low as 3/4k crowds it wouldn’t look good. Anyway well done on a good following and deserved win.

At least you can offer the larger away capacity though that's what irks me we can only off 1k or whatever it is to the better supported clubs whereas Donny can offer what 3k ? Thats a 2k fans difference in income in our respective games .

Next season will be the real test when season ticket figures are announced , they won't be able to dress that up will they really . With the amount of mess about this season I'm sure on the fence people might just pick and choose more games rather than forking out £400 on something they won't be sure on what 25% off they might not be able to attend .

Main stand looked quite sparse from the Upper and there were plenty of spare seats dotted around near me.
Probably 350/400 in all the Osmond, which holds around 1800 in total.

6k looked about right to me

 

[mozzavale]

1,411 sold so far for the 12.30 at Tranmere Saturday. Will probably end up around 1,700 now I'd imagine. Not bad, shame it wasn't 3pm kick off otherwise would have been close to a sell out.

Yeah that’s true, there isn’t many teams who bring 1k+ however. Chesterfield, Notts county and yourself so far this year have sold 3000 no other team has hit 1k from memory, vale just under that. A lot of clubs at this level may bring 200-400, but you’re right with what you’re saying, Grimsby could do with an extended capacity even if not quite selling out at some point it may be necessary as you’re building on the pitch and have a good catchment area out there. Our capacity is just over 13k at the moment, frustrating as we’ve had a few home sell outs with the away end being near full but attendance ends up being 12.8/9k with people missing out on tickets!. We used to get 14.5k in our big games in the championship.

Been allocated just over 1400 for Notts away in a few weeks. With it being an early kick off on Sky, I doubt we will need anymore to be honest. Still not been given any tickets for Salford away though despite the game being only 12 days away.
