Non-League Away Support 2015/16

[les.gtfc]

Over 200, there was a lot more than most teams bring, and with a 500+ mile round trip, that is very impressive, lincoln won't even bring that many....

Well done Dover

Not a chance there was anywhere near 200!!

53 was the official figure announced but I would have said it looked about 70-80, no more than that. I know they had a coach full and you would have thought that a few would have made their way there independently.

 

[Boz]

After watching the highlights, doesn't even look as if they opened up the other rickety side for you? I thought they did when expecting a few.

No, did they do that for your game?
Can't complain as there was plenty of space, but would have been more atmosphere if they'd given us either that stand or the terrace behind the goal.

They always give us it, mind you there's always a fair police presence after some of their nutters caused aggro down here a few years ago. I'm sure they usually do open it if you're likely to bring as many as you did still.

We've sold our allocation for Guiseley. GuiseleySteve any idea if there'll be more available?

On Guiseleys website it says no more tickets will be sold after 23rd December and no pay on the day, so no chance we will be getting any more I'm affraid.

Makes no difference for me, I can't go. Would have been a great chance to boost our away average, though. Missed revenue for Guiseley, unless they sell out as well.

Not so far as I'm aware.
Home tickets are still on sale at the club, i can't see them all being sold though.

 

[Davidimp]

We've sold over 800 so far for December 28th.

People at the Solihull game saying in excess of 100 Grimsby fans, no segregation.

Someone on Facebook posted 112 but not sure how they can be so specific as it was unsegregated and turnstiles were shared.

 

[White Army]

Our game at Macclesfield on boxing day is no longer all ticket which probably shows how few tickets we'd sold in advance.

 

[Josh Butler]

Southport had twelve at Worcester. Why did they need to segregate that? Did they seriously expect them to bring 100 or so?

Considering Grimsby fans' apathy with the Trophy 150 to Solihull on a Tuesday night is very good... we only had about 100 there in the league on a Saturday!

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Grimsby fans have bought the full 1050 allocation for our game on Saturday. Bloody good show you boys and girls, thank you

 

[dalts]

Our boxing day game against city rivals Westfields is a couple hundred tickets away from selling out. Meadow end sold out and pretty much all seating gone. Only space remains in Len Weston lower.
Should see a crowd of 4,500

 

[Imp in Branston]

Over a thousand sold now with around 100 left. Would be great if we could sell out away tickets at BP for once.

Our away end holds around 1800, so guessing you have behind the goal but not the corner?

 

[Davidimp]

Not yet, big debate on the fishy about who should be given that you guys or us?

 

[PaulHaddock]

The away holds about 1800 and that corner only holds about 300/400? Would you bring enough to make opening that corner to you worthwhile? Logistically, it's easier to open it for you if you get 1200 maybe.

 

[Davidimp]

Think we have 1200/1300 tickets and we've sold 1000 so I'm sure that'll be enough.
A decade ago I remember us taking 2500 to the likes of Boston and Peterborough.

Sorry, must admit that made me chuckle a little. On a technicality perhaps. You're selling out your limited allocation, not the away end. However, considering the early kick off, on telly and err, dog poo(!), a much more valiant effort from Lincoln fans than in recent years.

It's a shame Guiseley couldn't have given us more, both for their finances, Town fans missing out and our away average improving towards 750. Think we'd have taken close to 2000.

 

[Luke Imp]

I'm not really sure why we'd not be given any more after this second batch for no other reason than that to the right of the away fans in recent years has been empty anyway.

1,116 we've been given (964 plus a second lot of 196). Don't think giving us a few more would harm things and we're also at home on Boxing Day for people to buy.

 

[I Blame Paul Mayo]

Sold out the initial 1,100 odd. Reckon we will take around 1,400 in total which is decent from us, for once.

Great irony that...

 

[Davidimp]

We are only able to buy online from Grimsby's site, we have nearly sold out around 100 left.
Looking at taking 1300/1400, so around 50% of our home support...

 

[Sparrow]

Just had some jabs ahead of Saturday's game at Aldershot. Don't want to catch anything. Away end turnstiles giving out face masks.

 

[Luke Imp]

Great irony that...

Not really.

Logistically, it's impossible to give you more tickets. There are only ever Lincoln fans in the stand behind the goal at BP. Those seats don't house home fans, either ST or POTD ones.

 

[Son of Cod]

Have they still not decided who to give the corner bit to? If not, that'll be the problem I guess? If that's gonna be for Town fans then there'll need to be a block left empty for segregation/security/police line, won't there? Just give it all to Lincoln I say, that way when they don't sell out we can go back to berating their away support. Good job on selling over 1000 so far though, could/should (?) be a 7,000+ gate now. Well pleased it's on telly.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

7,405 is our best since relegation. We should better that now with the 1200 Lincoln following.

We are long overdue a win both in a Lncoln game and a televised game.

 

[GTFCfish]

I think that is a really good effort from Lincoln.
Regardless of locality, any Non league club taking 1000+ away from home is a great following in my opinion and it should make for a great atmosphere, just a shame i will be at b***ard work and will have to miss it!

 

[GodsGift]

Meh it's a good effort compared to what we've taken in the past but that sort of following should be par for the course really. Yeah Grimsby/Cleethorpes is a shithole but we used to regularly take 2,000+ to Boston, which isn't going to be making a list of the UK's most beautiful towns any time soon. Besides, it's a pretty feeble excuse not to go and watch a game of football in the first place.
