Average attendance for last year Grimsby 4657, Carlisle 4656. Yep, they're so much bigger than us.


Good job I went to a handful of games this season, that's why we topped Carlisle by one!!

Quoted from Maringer
I think Carlisle are perhaps a little 'bigger' than us on average as their catchment is a good bit bigger because they are the only pro club in that neck of the woods, but there's really not much in it. Even more remote than us, however!


They really aren't! Not even a little bigger. I think it hilarious how every fans forum thinks they are bigger than they really are (including us) but so much is perception based on league standings at the time. Most of the football world think we are very small fry at the moment because for the last 15 years we have been in the doldrums (I have no idea who is responsible for that) and that mud sticks.

A lot of league 1 clubs are not bigger than us, but people are swayed by league positions. We must start clawing our way to our more natural position (upper end of league 1) pdq or else Carlisle fans along with those other giants of the game like Burton, Shrewsbury and co really will think we are tinpot.

Some of these forum types that have delusions of grandeur make my sides split. I would suggest that pretty much every balanced, intelligent football supporter with some sense of relative club standing would consider Grimsby Town and Carlisle United as clubs of about equal size.


Agree with you 100%. However some on here think that we should be in the championship. I doubt any of those people think that's where Carlisle should be. Funny old game

looking at all time English record we are nearly 30 places above Carlisle, the person who mentioned it must be ill-imformed and clearly biased for his team.


Gtfc all the way

No, we were in the Championship before your mate took over.
