Ok, so there is a myth that a good proportion of fishy posters do not attend games, what is the truth?

P.S. This is not a competition, just wanted to see if there was any truth.

0 home games. 4 maybe 5 away games. Ex season ticket holder for over 10 years though.

Why is it only home games that count? I make 6/7 home games a season but comfortably more than half of the away games.

The myth that I am referring too does not include away games, it was home games. Weather it is true or not, time will tell.

I'm lucky if I make 5 home games a year which is why if there is a checkatrade game on while I'm visiting GY, I'll still go

All the home league games when not away on holiday.
No Checkatrade Trophy games and no away games these days.

Up to 3 home games when visiting family.  All visits arranged around home games purposely.  Up to 4 or 5 away games each year depending on holidays and who in this area is in our league.

Haven't been to a home game for well over twenty years! Preston North End in 95 !!!

Last away game was a  0-2 defeat in 2004 with Swindon. And last town game was Wembley vMK dons in 2008. This season I do have a subscription to Ifollow- and it's still not pretty !

All home games apart from The Checkatrade nonsense unless I'm away and usually about 8-10 away games per season.

Roughly 10-12 home games for me along with 2-3 away games (joys of being a shift worker)

Coventry was the first home game I've missed for over a decade. I try and make 4 or 5 away games a season.

All home competitive games except Checkatrade

Only went to 10 or so when we were non-league, ST holder since we got back.

Used to go to most home games, not been since Slade took over.
poor business by the club in general since we came up followed by slade being given another go.

Slade ball not for me and record not great, backwards steps, urine poor signings with no ambition by Chairman fenty other than to do it on the cheap. forget the loans and for the good of the club let someone else pick up the rains and take the club forward. christ its not YOUR toy, we the fans deserve better than this.

Probably make 8 home games a season - usually Tuesday nights and bank holidays due to commitments on a Saturday . I try to make as many away games as I can.

Season ticket holder, over 20 home games. Probably a dozen away games each season.

STH plus a handful of away games per season.
Posted by: TheRealJohnLewis, August 29, 2017, 6:28pm; Reply: 20
1-2 Home games and 8-10 away games.

As a Non-Grimsby fan, I stick managed to get to 4 home games last season. Hoping for the same, or a few more this year.

Hope you's pick up form soon!

Season ticket holder, very rarely miss a home game, though i won't do the checkatrade games.

Don't do away games any more.

I was a season ticket holder up till after the 2014-15 season, personal reasons and working half of weekends don't make many games anymore  :(

STH,(no mickey mouse matches) ,missed four away games last season .

So here's the fortnightly dilemma......do I drive 2 1/2 hours to Grimsby, or do I drive half an hour to my boat at St Ives and spend the weekend chilling out.  It isn't a difficult choice really.

Away games I'll go to if I'm working close by and have nothing better to do.  Will always retain an interest but given the mis-management of the club over the last 12 years, the passion has long gone.

Probably make no more than 4 home games. About 10 away games typically, not including play-offs and Trophy finals.

Time was when I'd engineer trips home to coincide with home games. I got to the point in the Conference when I'd not even make the effort to stick around a day more to take in a home game, because of negative tactics (pre-Slade MkII).

Most home games, about 17 or 18, and about 5-7 away too.

I have had a season ticket on and off for 21 seasons now but consecutively since 04/05. Since 09/10 I have missed the majority of midweek fixtures but go to every competitive fixture I can get to barring the one that stretches the definition of competitive being played tonight. I think I missed one FAC4QR/FA Trophy game (Rushall?) in the whole time we were in the Conference at home. I get to probably six away games a season on average.

Every home game (season ticket) and around 12-16 away games.

Do all home and away.

No check a trade games
No Cheltenham
No forest green
And from now on no Stevenage

Home games but miss the odd Tuesday night. Usually around 15 away too.
