Surely any body who is going to the game to support Grimsby is a fan. The average crowd at Blundell Park is 3 to 4k and will hopefully go up to 4 to 5k if we get promoted so what people are saying is the majority of fans going to Wembley aren't true Grimsby fans. Also because a fan isn't able to make the game it doesn't mean they support Grimsby Town any less than any other fan. Just get over the amount of fans that are  or aren't going and enjoy the weekend.

My main reason for going is to try and find my balderdash that froze off at the Wrexham game. If someone else does find them, let me know so I can pop them back in.

Given that we took what - 800 to the away semi final leg at Eastleigh taking 13,000 to the final is good going.

Hopefully the sun will shine too

Compared to years gone by its a big crowd for this particular final, the FAT is a lot cheaper to attend. Its a less important game to people who follow football regularly but for those who dont all that matters is that someone goes up the steps and lifts some sort of trophy. Most of the hardcore supporters will be there. The missing thousands wouldn't have made much noise anyway.

"When we took 18k to wembley vs wrexham we pretty much had the whole of the bottom tier, how have we managed to sell out the bottom tier and several seats in the middle tier whilst only selling 12.5k this time around??"

Loads of seats left in the lower, try to buy some on see tickets, they are available all over the place

Wembley finals usually include fans from other clubs.  Eg the 7 Exeter fans mentioned above.  I have persuaded a Spurs fan to come with us from York. He has already been to a few Town home games and came to the Wrxham final.

For the first 1998 Wembley match, I know that a lot of fans from other clubs came for the day out and supported Town.

These neutrals artificially the large Town followings at Wembley. So it is unfair to say "where are all these fans who went to Wembley" when the next home game has a much reduced home attendance.

I have to think that can't be true. I havent seen anyone say they have tickets for the corner blocks yet, still tickets available in good locations behind the goal too.


Now based in reading, do I class as an exile yet?

Regardless of how many we and Rovers have sold what is blatantly obvious to all but those muppets at the FA, is that both clubs would have sold more if the respective clubs sold those tickets and not some rip off booking agency.

Another reason why those at the top of English football are only interested in fleecing fans.  The FA know FA about football.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.
