One season when they were doing well they offered a load of free tickets out and I think they coated them in excrement because hardly anyone took them up on the offer.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

It's results that bring the fans in. Not much point offering discounts when they will come to watch a winning team whatever the price

All it needs is a bit of imagination to attract a few hundred more, coupled with good results obviously. To be honest, I think crowds between 4-5K for L2 is good, but a few attractive offers would help swell the numbers. To be honest, I reckon a few of us could come up with some good ideas given an hour and a paper and pen. Not really sure why the club aren't being a bit more imaginative anyway, They seem to be missing a trick to a degree.

Last nights crowd was decent enough and they were entertained. County brought Conference numbers of fans (great effort from those that did though), and because of that the overall numbers are a bit subdued. How many were at comparable games last year? 3500 I'd guess.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

That's fair enough if you've got the money, but £20 a pop plus plus plus can be a lot to find. If success for this club means anything, it means taking the whole town with you.

We can't be that far off what we were getting in the Championship in the early noughties. Crowds have never been huge at BP. Being near the top of a division definitely helps more than anything though! Be nice to break the average for the all-seater era this season! I think it's low 6000s.

That's right. Regularly got 5-6000 in those days.Or at least that was what was declared.

That's what i was thinking. We are getting decent crowds and i can't see where these extra fans are going to come from, with or without incentives.

Grimsby?

To be non-facetious for a minute, there are a lot more people out there. Surely we could mobilise a bigger percentage of the population.
