We've always been outnumbered at finals so what does it matter?

Quoted from LondonMariner43
I know it won't change the result but it will be a bit embarrassing to take less than 10k.  As a London based fan I bought for tickets.  3 of us have only been to a handful of games this season and one has never been before.  There must be many more exiles like this plus maybe 10k locals from the Grimsby area.  


Whatever the Grimsby following is, I certainly wont be embarrased. The Grimsby supporters (especially away) have been magnificent this season and have played their part in lifting the players, to get the results needed to get us to Wembley. Everyone will have there reason for attending / not attending. But whoever does attend i'm sure will be full of passion for this great club and will sing their hearts out for the Mighty Mariners!

Embarrassed ??
Not me I am proud we have got to Wembley our players are the best we have had since being down here and on there day can beat anyone in this League. Don't worry our fans will make plenty of noise.

Can't wait for Sunday to be honest.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY
There's still a week to go folks (or thereabouts). Some may be working away or on their hollibobs but, I see us taking well over 12-14k. Yes, probably outnumbered by the BR supporters, out sung though? I wouldn't have thought so


I don't think that there'll be any "probably" about that one Woz.

Message to the original poster, PB, could you update the title to 'Only (enter amount actually sold) tickets sold please so we can get a running total and to let any visitors know we are buying them.

I can see the novelty value off Wembley wearing off for "fair-weather" fans. The overall costs are high as well for a family. Great temptation to just watch it on TV.

My neice is not going with other close family members as she will in the middle of her GCSEs.  She has been to the new Wembley for the 2 previous matches. Her mum is not going either.

All the reasons identified for fans not attending add up to a lower following.  The keen fans will be there anyway.

Thinking about it inflate the figure a little so visitors think we have sold more than we have. add 5000 on to the actual figure.

I've done as you suggest (subtlely!)
I only wish we had sold as many tickets as this thread has had views! I just wanted to try and persuade everyone to empty their piggy-banks and get to Wembley.

We do have to remember Bristol is a huge area compared to Grimsby! Anyhow, I know we will be the fans singing throughout making the loudest noise! UTM!
