Only 10000 tickets sold!

admittedly i agree the turnout is very poor. But looking at it positively atleast we'll have more regulars closer togethrer 'snuggled in' to create a brilliant atmosphere for the team. So although i'm disappointed in numbers i do think we'll have a better atmosphere this way.

Said months ago we wouldn't get more than 15,000 so I'm not surprised by this. 13,000 just looks bad because it's a massive effing bowl.

Maybe it's a good thing more like an away game. What we're good at. C'mon town.

Well said Big Al worth price of a ticket to sup a pint on Tattershall Castle and relive the trip to Boothferry Park

Quoted from CambsMariner

Mariner91. There are loads of true Grimsby fans who are unable to make the game due to many reasons. Just because we can't get to Wembley doesn't mean we aren't watching or listening to the game and cheering them on every minute of the game.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. What I meant was, due to the price and novelty factor wearing off, the fans that have forked out for the game are probably a lot keener than day trippers who have been before and don't fancy it this time round. I'm well aware that there'll be some true Town fans who can't make it for whatever reason, we'll just have to sing all the louder for you.

Mariner 91. Sing your heart out and enjoy the day.

Seem a few on here are beating ourselves up about  the 'disappointing' turn out from GTFC fans
at Wembley, i just did   a bit of research on this that shows perhaps its not too bad after all.

Bristol has a population of 437,500 (not taking into account nearby  large population areas) and for the sake of
argument say 50% of that would support Brizzle City) that gives 218750 Rovers fans - IF they take 32000 to
Wembley (a big if IMO) that would equate to 14.62% - the  distance Bristol to London is 117.8 Miles an easy run
along the M4.

Grimsby and Clee has a population of 127748 with not so many  large population areas nearby - if we take
14000 tomorrow that equates to almost 11% Grimsby to London is 199 miles - an extra 81.2 miles to travel.

Of course this is not exact science but it does show that although Brizzle probably have taken a higher percentage,
taking into account the extra distance to travel for GTFC fans must mean that the difference is minimum.

So be loud and proud GTFC fans - we have great support.

You know i honestly do despair with some on this board - a  negative red cross for being positive!
There really are some prize prats about.

Add in the relative prosperity of the areas Pete and it evens it out even more.

Add in the relative prosperity of the areas Pete and it evens it out even more.

About 2 year ago Bristols unemployment rate was 3.7%, it's now 5%, still below the national average.

Grimsbys unemployment rate is currently over 10%, nearly double the national average.

Not sure if it makes much difference, but I'm sure if their are more people in full-time jobs, people wouldn't think much of £80 to watch 90 minutes of football with the extra disposable income they more than likely have.
