Lincoln made £2m from their run to the QF the other year. A decent, televised away day in the third round would be a good result financially if we get there.

Does this mean we will play or best available eleven (whatever that is ) or adopt squad rotation? Plymouth no doubt will do the latter.

And do both Teams still get 40% of gate receipts? I might be wrong on that.

Same, though there are a few teams where playing them away even with a reduced ticket price would net Town more money than a full house at BP.

Well we got a good draw according to most on here. Personally I would have preferred 41k and a win against a dog and duck team...

Add me to the list as well. And to think Town have played current heavyweights such as Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle in the league during the not too distant past; former clubs in the Championship equivalent or lower down the pyramid like Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton; and those of a lesser vintage including Welling United, Ebbsfleet and Salisbury City. And there are many other examples. All part of the ups and downs Mariners’ style, I guess.

I think it will be our "first" team. Tuesday is a chance to play our second team in the other thingy cup.

Might be a fly in the ointment if we draw tomorrow - isn't the replay on Tuesday?

Good payday. 4,571 - decent for an all-pay full price game - and one of the better crowds on the day. Illustrates why reducing to a tenner doesn't stack up with our current capacity, unless to create the atmosphere to intimidate the opposition and we win. How many would have been on if we'd made it a tenner - maybe 6.5k. 7k at best.

Maybe the smaller crowd helped take the pressure off the players and they were more relaxed?

Doubt it would have been anything like 7k, cheaper maybe 5.5k, the last 2 defeats probably took more off the gate than the price

Think it’s because we hammered them last time round. (Or in one of the last games we played them)

Yes maybe not 7k looking at other crowds yesterday, only Wednesday would have been higher of the whole round if we'd got that. Adult STHs with kids deciding to go instead of giving it a miss would have boosted numbers.  We might also have got some people going who don't have season tickets but can't generally afford to go at full League prices.  

Our home fan attendance, 4.2k, was seventh highest of the Cup round I think, and all the higher ones were League 1 clubs save Bradford 6.8k and Chesterfield - 5.8k with 750 away, who charged £12 for adults and £6 for kids and OAPs. Chesterfield's home crowds typically are similar to ours atm, save when they get a bigger away following than we can accommodate.

We have a winning record against them at BP and if we win the next meeting we would be level on wins with them in the combined record.

The accounts team will be glad of the win, it’s the equivalent of another 1,863 tickets sold at £22 a spin.
Posted by: TownSNAFU5, November 6, 2022, 12:14pm; Reply: 27
I think that the number of Town fans going yesterday also depended on other factors.  We are 3 exiled STHs in York.  This season due to the train strikes and night games we have sometimes given lifts to 2 other STHs living in Leeds and Newcastle.

2 of us decided to give yesterday a miss as we have 2 home games on the next 2 Saturday’s.  3 home games would be a bit much for travelling in 15 days.  This decision then impacted on the other travellers.

In short, we would have gone yesterday if there were not 2 home games to follow (and travel to).  Fine margins.

Erm, it's the equivalent of another 81 season tickets (you forgot to divide by the 23 matches I think).

Who’s talking about season tickets?

Have to say in the Upper Fishy area where I sit I would estimate that 70% of fans attending were different from those season ticket holders who normally occupy those seats. So these were either fans who normally now go in the Osmond or Main stands or a completely different fan base who took the chance to attend. Guess probably a mixture of the two.

£41,000 plus gate receipts goes some way toward buying a striker in Jan. Another favourable draw or two will give a nice fighting fund for Jan.

Iam a fan of this cup even if it's not the priority eg league. Gives fringe players and promising youth team players a taste of competitive action . Even in years gone by when reserve team games were played I felt these cup games were a step up.

I think you have a point. Grimsby have had a decent history and I think a club of this standing should be pushing for league 1. Some of the younger lads will probably feel the pressure from some expectant fans though and aiming to produce good performances week in week out is challenging. Indeed some of the top players can't do it .

If we was lucky enough to make it to the 5th round it’s gotta be worth a couple of million to us with gate receipts and TV money factored in .
We’ve not had a cup run of note this century so hopefully this will be our year

To be honest, I'd be happy with a win in round 2 giving us another 67k in the coffers. Any further than that and it'd be a Bruce bonus

We have season tickets in the Pontoon but chose to sit in the Upper for this game as a one-off. We thought we might get a better perspective as to why we don't get enough players into attacking positions but as it turned out we didn't need to bother about that!

I have to say the part we were sat in was completely toxic; we obviously got off to a bad start but it wasn't until we were 4-1 up some fans started to give us some slack.

I have been in the Upper a few times over the years, and it looks good from the other stands when full, but from up there it isn't great, and looking at the rest of the stadium from up there it looks worse than I imagined, so I do hope the owners are at least looking at provisional plans to do something about it.

My seat is half way up the Upper and slightly to the Cleethorpes end of the halfway line. IMO the view is perfect for a proper footballing perspective of a game. You get a good idea of off-sides, players positioning and team shape. I don't know whether the coaching staff do this but I have always thought having one of the staff with a two-way link to the bench would be an advantage. It would give "real time" updates to the bench so they could make instant adjustments to the playing formations.
As regards the toxicity of some of the fans up there, well over the years I have used all three home stands and have experienced this in all of them. It doesn't bother me but then again I go to watch the game and not to listen to the ramblings of these toxic fans

Funnily enough we talked about that on Saturday - particularly how little of the shape of the team managers can see from the touchline which itself is below pitch level.

One wag suggested a tennis umpire like seat bolted on to the Main stand roof fot Hurst to use.

Obviously all managers stand on the touchline so they must gain something from it apart from the obvious of being close to the players.

As regards the toxicity of some fans indeed it can be in any stand but it surprised me I must say as they seemed to be egging each other one but each to their own.

Thanx for that info, it certainly seems the obvious thing to do. I seem to recall that when PH very first came here with Shouty it was mentioned that one of them intended to watch the matches, or at least part of them, from higher up in the Main Stand but I don't know if that actually ever occured.

During his first stint, he always watched the first half from the press box in the Main Stand. He then always came down after HT.

Some things never change over the years. I remember listening to some guy, in the Osmond stand, bellowing at the top of his voice how bad he thought Mike Cullen was; and that was about 60 years ago. Incidentally, I wonder if this is where the Luton connection originated from as we bought him from Luton.
