According to the article, which as usual slates us, it says that the plod estimate 8000 tickets have been sold? I can't see that being correct but surely the club keep the police informed of tickets sold/predicted gate for supposed high risk fixtures?

A long time since I see a 8k crowd at B.P. I reckon around 7,600 tops.

I think we got over 7000 for one of the home games against the Gimps when they only brought a few hundred. So 8000 is possible if the Town fans do as Civvy suggests.

Don't forget this plus 1 making the journey down.

I have a great record watching Mariners games in recent seasons. Long may it continue.

It was 7650 in the NL in 2015/2016 and they have picked up a lot of support since. We probably had that many fans that day?

It'd be more like 3400 over STH sales. Perfectly doable. Surely. Must be.

8000 will include Lincoln's 1800 and the 3000 STs, meaning we've sold about 3000 match day tickets. Not buying it.

5400 opening day
3800 last game..

6200 Lincoln ?  Not sure who is trying to kid who here....

Probably not dropped all that much since the opening game against Coventry, who brought what? 1000 plus?

I can't see the Lincoln game being an 8000 crowd somehow, unless Lincoln fans buy tickets for home areas.

I bought my tickets yesterday mid afternoon.
Lower Findus sold out
Upper Findus restricted views only left.
But PLENTY of tickets still available for the Pontoon and Main.
I think a low crowd tonight sub 4000 for sure, but a good result tonight should lead to
A boost in sales for Saturday. Let's hope so.

'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

If you don't want to watch your team play a local derby against your oldest rivals in a game where a win will potentially take you above them in the table, when exactly do you want to watch them?

With our indifferent form at present, I can understand why some might not want to go to a Tuesday night match against Colchester, but surely the whole point about following a team is wanting to get one over your local rivals in the 'big' games?

Well....according to the OS we have less than 900 tickets left.....i am pleasantly suprised.  Could be a cracking atmosphere if Slade gets them flying out of the blocks.

I'd loved to be proved wrong tomorrow at 2.45 but unfortunately I can't see it! C'mon JF use my posts as devils advocate and when you win put it on the big screen with 2 fingers up to me!!

According to ground guide BP holds 9052... According to the OS we have 800 tickets left. So with the calculations the attendance should already be at 8,200. What's the odds when the attendance is read out it is less than 8,000.

That doesn't account for S/T holders who cannot go for whatever reason.

The ground capacity is now around 8,400  

The cup game v Scunthorpe the other year was a sell out - the gate that day was 8,300 odd

There’s been some lost to segregation with new FL rules hasn’t there? Hence why Lincoln’s allocation is 1,800 and not the 2,200(?) that the Osmond holds - although some of those are lost to restricted views.

I'm not worried I'm looking forward to it. They aren't world beaters and it's a 4th division game. Be nice to have a good atmosphere and hopefully a good game.
