Bit hard to be critical of their crowd when the majority of our fans boycott this competition and I doubt we will get 1000 through the gate when we play them. Personally I just see this as an opportunity to play everyone who doesn’t normally get a run out hence most of the group and early knock out rounds are contested by “reserve” teams.
That was purely a pisstake of our resident six-fingered troll claiming Bradford were our “Yorkshire rivals”. |

My comment was more along the lines of it's bad to have as many as 2000 at one of these games. Hence the emojis...
Almost as if the majority of those who attended weren't around in 2016 when the thin end of the wedge was first put under the door.

Hang on.. are people really digging out attendance figures on a comp that every year folk say they boycott?? 🤷♂️
One of my pet hates mocking attendances.. I couldn’t care less if Acc Stanley or whoever brought 56.. in fact I think it’s more fair play to those who do go. We’re fortunate in that we travel well, and for the last couple seasons we’ve managed to maintain a growth in home support, but it wasn’t ‘that’ long ago we were down to 3k or so.
Lincoln, have done everything we didn’t. They’ve utilised/exploited cup run money, built on promotion to the League, gathered investment etc - and as a result crowd has grown, ok.. it ‘might’ not last .. who knows? But think you have to give them credit for what they have done this last 6 years or so.
That said.. is it a line I’d like to take Town down in years to come? (Foreign investment) - probably not. I think we are in a good position off the pitch, with right people at the helm, but as has been discussed on another thread, football is going even more that way - and merely to compete you need serious money at even League 1 level, such as what Lincoln need. Ideally if our owners can get investors help from numerous sources, and a gradual process of getting us back on track, whilst ensuring the clubs future long term -we’d all, or most of us - welcome it I think.
Nothing against Lincoln myself (other than that idiot who posts on here) as said think it should be commended in many respects what they’ve achieved, and hope we can manage to reach them again in future seasons.
Great reply, it reminds me of the late great BP Vicar who used to post on here many moons ago. It is for the likes of you, plus other intelligent and knowledgeable footballing sorts, such as 1MickeyLyons and of course old Hagrid, that I hope you return to former glories. Today’s opponents have produced some lively encounters from memory at the old Saltergate in particular, although I expect your allocation has been lowered somewhat due to intervention by Derbyshire’s finest? Who knows, by 5pm you could be on the edge of the Play-off slots? |

It's because Chesterfield fill the stadium or sell most tickets like we do - it holds around 10k with segregation i believe so they offer the lowest amount within the rules that they can . Which turns out 999 so I assume they state the capacity with seg is 9999 - they did get a couple of gates a touch over 10k in the NL but that was with minimal segregation against teams that brought around 20-50 fans so they had a really really small area of the ground/section . |

9,325 with a fair few empty seats in the home end. For what it’s worth I thought you were very unlucky to come away empty handed. 2 key errors at both ends by Rogers, and another howler by Wright (although he played okay overall) proved crucial. The Ref was frustratingly inconsistent for both sides, but Town looked far better than in recent seasons on this display. |

Under a thousand fans for a 100 minute journey - embarrassing not selling out an allocation of a thousand when you are doing so well. Even Scunny sold out their Scarborough trip the other week.

Welcome once again to the Fishy Frazer, where proper fans debate the musings of their teams performance.....and other nearby local supporters desperately seek solace and intelligent talk which they cannot find on their own inadequate message boards.... |

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
