A lot of Rovers fans were bragging of 30-35,000 and breaking play off attendance record

Though with BRFC 26,067 and GTFC 12,546, looks like need the neutrals to break the record

Whilst 12546 below expectations, think Rovers will be thinking likewise

Hopefully more Mariners fans will be singing than Rovers

Understand but things aren't much different than 2 years ago when we took 18k for a tinpot trophy game if I'm not mistaken.

Seems just not that many bothered.


You're right - people are not that bothered. But the 12,500 who are going clearly are. I remember what '98 was like and this so much bigger for me and I think it is for all going. The Wrexham thing barely raised my pulse and I went.

It is a bit disappointing that fewer than might be expected are going but the excitement of this is fantastic. To every Grimbarian who would declare they support Man U or Liverpool or whoever, who buy the shirt, who go twice a year to Old Trafford - I say more fool you. My joy will be immense if we do this.

It's pretty obvious why the numbers are so low. We have a core fan base of about 3500-4000 who attend most games. We went to wembley against wrexham and I along with others would have gone with big groups of mates etc. I took about 10 with me vs wrexham because it was a first wembley appearance in awhile and we were all buzzing! Couple of years later it's not as big of a deal to go AGAIN. Therefore of my original group of 10 only 3 of us are going this year. So it's just a case of less of the families and so called glory supporters/day trippers have not bothered this year compared to back against wrexham. Obviously a few other minor factors are involved.

There are many reasons why our numbers are below what we hoped,

Since we first got to Wembley in 98 we have been back 4 times,

Plus our visit to Cardiff,

The novelty has worn off for some plus the cost has put many off,

We only average 3,500 for league games so 12,500 is a good number to take,

Cambridge only took 10,000 last year and they are a lot closer to London than Grimsby,

I am sure the ones that do go will out sing the Rovers.

When we took 18k to wembley vs wrexham we pretty much had the whole of the bottom tier, how have we managed to sell out the bottom tier and several seats in the middle tier whilst only selling 12.5k this time around??

Might help in a way, we know the 12500 who are there are all true Town fans and this means a lot to them. That way, we're all more likely to sing. Smaller numbers but all together, not dispersed among day trippers means we should be able to make one hell of a racket.

Mariner91. There are loads of true Grimsby fans who are unable to make the game due to many reasons. Just because we can't get to Wembley doesn't mean we aren't watching or listening to the game and cheering them on every minute of the game.

Pretty disappointed with 12500 tbh.

This is a massive game and anything below 15k is urine poor imo.



who cares, as long as you're going and not missing out then what does it matter? The other 5k against wrexham weren't really fans anyway!
