Agreed. But I do make a valid point!

Rotherham's attendances could have had similar attendances to ours but fan base isn't just about attendances. It includes local population density, nearby small towns and large villages. The potential to attract more fans. Rotherham can draw fans from many neighbouring towns and villages such as Maltby, Conisbrough, Mexborough, Rawmarsh, Swinton, Wath upon Dearne and Hoyland Nether. None of them large conurbations but collectively a large potential fan base. Of course nearby clubs like Doncaster, Barnsley and the 2 Sheffield clubs also vie for these supporters but the potential is still their. What outlying conurbations can GTFC draw it's fans from? Immingham, Louth and that's about it. When push comes to shove, as a potential football investment Rotherham will always be a more attractive proposition than Grimsby.


Both Town and Lincoln have more potential than Rotherham. When Rotherham were at Millmoor their average attendances was, in a good part, made up from other, bigger, Yorkshire clubs filling their away end and often outnumbering the home fans. They've done really well since they built the new stadium and get decent crowds in, but no better than Lincoln, and Lincoln have to limit the away fan numbers to 1,750 at the moment.
