Rotherham v Scunthorpe

Quoted from promotion plaice

The Mariners’ average away attendance of 671 is the 42nd-highest in the EFL, beating local rivals and League One side Scunthorpe United (534), and Championship outfit Burton Albion (502).

Town’s average home attendance of 4,657 is the 48th-highest in the EFL, which is better than League One sides Blackpool, Oldham, and AFC Wimbledon, as well as ranking higher than Scunthorpe and Burton again.

Oldham are League two now!

If only someone knew how to benefit from that level of support.

Quoted from Tradjazz

Only 1,202 away fans travelled the 40 miles to Rotherham tonight. It is obvious they do not want promotion. Grimsby would have packed the place if it was us.
Poor support and now there is a rumour that the Chairman has finished and want to put his money in racehorses.

Neigh, not a good idea. UTM



PS: Come on Exeter finish the job tomorrow.

We took 1202 because that was our allocated amount. Quite a few Scunny fans were disappointed to miss out, we'd have taken more if more tickets were available, but Rotherham prioritised their own fans who they thought would bring sufficient numbers. Apparently it was the same for Preston North End when they played Rotherham in the playoffs a few years ago (how tinpot are Preston, eh? Tiny club them, unlike Grimsby, the Man Utd of Lincolnshire). If Grimsby were playing Rotherham in the playoffs this season it'd have been the same for you and you'd have taken 1200 for this reason. How about checking the facts before posting continued chest beating comments about sodding crowds? It's been thirteen years since we were in the same division, since then we've always been at least one division above you lot. That matters more to me than worrying over how many have a shared experience.

Touched a nerve there! You have to laugh, come on a rival's board and expect a fair assessment? I'm sure all Scunts fans are equally unbiased in their posts about us..Never mind son, there's always next year  UTM

Nah, not really, just pointing out the truths to someone who wasn't aware of the full situation before posting.

Anyway, I wish you lot luck for next season. I wouldn't mind you lot getting promoted so we can play each other again (Scunny-Grimsby is a more exciting prospect than Scunny-Fleetwood, Scunny-Burton or Scunny-Wycombe). It'd be great to have you in the same division as us for a while, so long as you're always below us and we're thumping you 6-0 home and away. One can dream.

Like you did in the 2 FA Cup games 0-0 and 1-2 to us I believe? Also glad you mentioned Man Utd once upon a time we filled there ground for them just like we do yours every time we visit. GTFC THE PRIDE OF LINCOLNSHIRE

Touche! Like I say, one can dream.
