In a one off playoff game, they should at least give the away tether maximum allocation. It's unfair that we only have to play one game away as it is, without making sure that County can blatantly restrict our support on the night.


If it was us finishing 5th, would you prefer to have half of the Osmond with town fans or rammed full of Notts County fans?

It is different for Notts as they have a much bigger stadium but it is predictable that in a one off game, the home team limits away support.

There won't be any home fans in that stand

In the FA cup the away team get 20% of the allocation. If it was here, they would get the full Osmond stand. We wouldn't limit it to say 1,000. They would get the full stand. The only reason they will limit us is to stiffle the atmosphere that we will make. If they are allowed to get away with it then they are trying to cheat us.

It just seems odd to me that county are even allowed to do this...surely if it gets to 3 or 4 days before and they've not sold out, town fans should be allowed to buy the excess? Why deny fans the opportunity to support their team and watch a game AND deny the club money?

Would it be worth approaching Notts and saying that if the allocation is restricted to 2,000 it is likely that several hundred Grimsby fans will turn up and buy tickets for the hone end, so probably better to increase the allocation.

Worth a try. At the end of the day Notts might be turning down over £40,000 in additional revenue by limiting us to 2,000 tickets.

Hopefully the club will be making representations to Notts about this issue.

Not sure who thought it was a great idea to hold the post-match interview outside, in the middle of the Eastleigh end of season awards, but here’s what you can make of Hursty’s post-match thoughts.

A game like this, there won’t be the town fans in the home like everyone claims as they’ll cancel orders from ‘new subscribers’ like they always do.

All all this bleating on about ticket allocations makes us sound like Leeds. It is what it is, we all knew deep down we’d get 2000. No point moaning…and besides, should we end up at Wrexham, we’ll get even less…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Apparently the rules state clubs have to give a minimum 10% of the ground or 600, whichever is more, so county have given the least they could to us. No idea what Wrexhams ground is but I wouldhazard a guess at 9k? So we may only get 900 tickets
What did we get for the league fixture?

All this assumes were even there of course....

The Radio Humberside version sounds fine and is perfectly listenable - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0c6y8d8
