I think we've all seen enough shite over the years to know when we are on to something good...
UTM!
Very true. There’s definitely something about this team.

Really looking forward to this one and after today's excellent win I'm expecting a bumper crowd.
Reckon they'll bring a few as well.
They had over 8000 at the Racecourse yesterday. Not sure if Plod has restricted their ticket allocation (?) but I reckon the Osmond is going to have a good few sheep lovers in attendance. Should make for a good atmosphere.

When did we last have 5000 home fans for a Tuesday night League game (so not play-offs)? I can't remember an instance for years - I checked 2016/17 and our best on a Tuesday that season was Carlisle 4.8k so maybe 4.6k home fans. The best in the Holloway mini-boom was 4,175 v Stevenage. It might even be the championships days since we did.
In the 70s Tuesday nights often had bigger crowds than Saturday's probably because of work patterns on the docks etc, but for years now we've struggled to get over 4k on a Tuesday.
Maybe thousands are returning to Blundell Park...

There are a lot of nervous woolly characters on The Wolds!!!

You have to question the thinking of the league, we didn’t play midweek in the week just gone, nor do we play next week yet they’ve picked this week, first week of champions league which naturally has an impact on attendances.

Clearly they thought last week would have been impacted by international call ups 😉

I get England played on the Wednesday but we know fair weather folk would rather stay in an watch teams they don’t care about and spunk cash on bets…it’s weird. Just play midweek the following week…

To 'think' the league management have to have something between their ears. Last season's total mismanagement of the NL with covid showed that they have no brains, no forethought, and no planning. Let's hope we get out of this s hit hole the first time, and never to return.

If they’re getting 8k at home, anything under 500 would be píss poor. Looking forward to a decent atmosphere.

Ordinarily I’d agree with you, but that 8k includes a lot of Johnny come lately’s. It’s one thing to commit to a season ticket round the corner from your house when some Hollywood megastars come to town, but another to make the trek from Wrexham to BP on a Tuesday night. 200-300 would be my guess.
