Yeovil

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Games against the tinpots aren't the problem at the moment (though they may be if the current growth trend continues) - we can probably accommodate another 500 home fans in the Osmond and still segregate from the sub 200 away followings. It's the games against teams that will bring a few hundred - too many under current police policy (or is it GTFC?) to allow homes fans in the Osmond. This means there are empty seats in the Osmond but home fans are being turned away - I expect this will be the case v Notts.

We have split the Osmond before with full sell-out crowds - definitely Fulham in the play off semi, also Tottenham and West Ham? Also Oldham the last game before the Fulham semi was an 8k+ crowd and Oldham won't have brought more than 500.

I remembered that we did it against Oldham as I was sat in the Osmond, but hadn't realised we'd done the same for the Fulham game too. Just watched the footage of Donovan's goal and you're quite right. The segregation looks a little bit lighter than we might get away with today (just a handful of stewards at the bottom of the stand), but I don't see why we couldn't do the same again with five or six seats worth' of tarp.

I hope so anyway, County aren't in great form and are up against Stockport and Bromley next. A couple of bad results there and I can see their following taking a hit.

As a mildly interesting side note, they look like proper flat track bullies, Notts. Here's their record so far against the current top, middling and bottom sides in the division:

1-7: LLL
8-13: DD
14-23 : WWWDWW

Other than failing to beat Weymouth, their results perfectly segment themselves based on the league position of their opposition, losing every game against top 7 opposition and have so far failed to beat anyone currently in the top 13 positions.

Incidentally, Town have only played 2 of the current top 8 (won one, lost one) but then between the 23rd November and 22nd January face 7 of the top 8, followed by a potentially new look Wrexham at the end of Jan. I'd feel a lot better about that run of games if we could put some distance between us and the stragglers in the next 5 games.

'In such a shirt time,' bloody hell, are you from Dull too?

God no , just got fat fingers 🤣🤣🤣

I said yesterday that I didn’t think we’d quite clear 7,000 tickets for the Yeovil game. I think I’m going to be wrong; at the current run rate (which appears to be picking up if anything) we’ll easily clear another 150 between now and kick-off tomorrow. Whether that translates into a 7k+ attendance remains to be seen, but regardless, what a time to be alive!

Selling 7,000 tickets at home to Yeovil in non-league, having just been relegated is astounding.

The owners must be absolutely over the moon.

I must say it is great to be looking forward to the match several days out, knowing there will be huge numbers of Town fans willing us on. In recent years going to the match was a chore, just going through the motions but that has changed now beyond all recognition.

The good thing is I think there is a lot more to come - everybody wants to be associated with success and be part of a project to deliver it and whatever happens in the end for this season I think people know that each season we will improve on and off the field. Brilliant stuff from the new owners, the manager and the team and the fans who are now reconnecting with their football club.

Hopefully a final big push tonight by Town fans on social media to try and sell the remaining 450 tickets. Will be good to see the Osmond full for once.

The only question remaining is how many who decide to go and pay on the day will be locked out. There will always be several hundred of these.This also means  there will be many more unable to attend next week when the Osmond is more restricted for home fans. We are going to need more capacity if we are to continue to move forward.Lincoln went from 3k to 10k in a year and we could if we had the capacity.

Just read on FB we have Covid in the camp……

We’ll be without several first team players!!

Yep, the covid story has thoroughly drunk me off.

I mean it’s not surprising but why us? We never get the luck……
