San Marino are the worst European team by a country mile. I genuinely think they struggle at step 3 if you chuck them into English non-league. Even Andorra and Gibraltar are a cut above them.

Even in the Nations League, which was designed to give the weaker teams comparable opposition, they still lost all 6 games without scoring against Belarus, Luxembourg and Moldova.

I mean look at their reaction to just scoring a goal in the last qualifiers (1:28 in)

I can remember seeing San Marino score a goal once, only 7 seconds into the game it was too. :gmc:

I think it's a journalist who's done it for a piece.

Just noticed only 291 turned up for Braintree v Gateshead on Saturday.

That must be the lowest of the season and the lowest in this division for some time - I'm sure there have been a handful of attendances under 300 and Hayes & Yeading once had under 200 when they were up here - does anyone know what the record low is?

A crowd of 130 for Fisher Athletic vs Northwich Vics back in 1990/91!

Thought the new stand looked really good last night. Almost looked ready to use. Is it still opening for next season or will you get some use before this seasons up?

That would be up there with the lowest in the South this season, which is some effort given the tinpot sides down here such as Hungerford and Oxford.

In all honesty I’m not 100% sure. It’s very delayed as we ran into some problems once the ground was dug up, lots of rumours about why to really know what was what.

Rochdale selling mugs for our league game against them on Saturday is a bit of a weird one

Solihull Moors have taken down their ticketing website, after lots of our fans tried to buy tickets to our game in the home ends at the end of the month.

They only gave us 720 tickets - Which were printed on A4 sheets of paper....................

Tinpot mugs. Salford are already going to be out of sight by the time our game happens anyway so they might as well cash in by doubling our ticket allocation.

Surely you'll be given more? or they just not wanting to be outnumbered for such a big game..
I think we had about 1800 there in August.

They'll just invent the figures like all the tinpotters do to save embarrassment.

Really?! Says it all - They've only given us seating tickets, which are I believe are for the tempory seating stand they've put up. They also had a ticketing deal on or something.

Having said all that, had they just given us 1000 standing tickets behind the goal, that would've been enough.

Is it tinpot that Lincoln handle all their ticket sales through Eventbrite? Surely that's just a small step up from selling them on Facebook.

I did not see that as tinpot personally, maybe clutching at straws a bit?

I'm hoping Tranmere fans shouting 'Tequila' at Oldham has been posted on here by now?

Why would having an online ticketing platform be tinpot? :lol:

You can still buy tickets in person or over the phone.

Most clubs use something that's properly designed for football, I only mock because I saw the Lincoln fans complaining about it on your forum so clearly it's not working very well. Eventbrite is more for when you're gonna have maybe under 100 attendees and don't need to worry about things like allocated seating and crowd control, like a small business conference or a curry evening.
