I have been going over 45 years been in some huge crowds at BP not the 5.5k we get now.


The only big crowd you’ve been in at BP is in the petrol shortage during the Pandemic.

Quoted from Morris Minor
i-follow has allowed anybody to have the choice to watch every league game each day in the comfort of their own room for approx £40 per year.
I was switching from Grimsby to Wrexham every time a goal went in.
As i-follow is approx 2 mins behind real time if you have the app flashscore on your monitor, you'll never miss a goal hence the switch.


So you support the club by not giving any money whatsoever and watching half the match unless someone else scores? 😀

The attendance is one thing…

The atmosphere is another. Really, really poor for such a big gate.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Well it started off pretty good for the first 10 minutes but our style of play could anaesthetise an elephant

10k ? No chance
As for the view in the corner so long as your not near the away fans the view is unspoiled. No posts at all


When you’re the size of Yoda, all areas of the ground are restricted view!

Hard to see the football it is…

We needed a drum like the away end. It does always add to the experience.

Am guessing that you are around 14 years old and find it hard to keep up with having to buy a Man City, Liverpool or Man Utd kit each year too.

Why on earth you’d want to watch any other game, given the chance, but towns is beyond me

Like me you're not the most popular poster on here, but that is correct.

It is very difficult to create an atmosphere when we don't create many chances, we are not on the front foot and like somebody said to me after Saturday they sit in the Pontoon and I can't remember us getting into the box in the second half..

The ground acoustics have been the same for years, but we all have experienced fantastic atmospheres but the football is just so dull at the moment ( and most of last season) it is hard for fans to get excited.

I agree there are things that could be done as well, such as a proper pre match build up with a decent sound system and closing in the corners but pragmatic football is certainly a factor.

Quoted from GrimRob


They are clever. Virtually every seat is sold, even if people don't come. That's money in the bag. Under the old regime we used to have lots of offers and promotions but they often didn't bring that many extra sales. In this league the season can be all but over with a few weeks still to go. Far better to get most of our revenue in advance.


Even better if we then got even more revenue by managing to re-sell unused seats.

The club, to their absolute credit, have tried something with the ticket release scheme.  Got to give it time to see if it works. 3 home games, one of which is a Tuesday night and all three in the summer holidays, is not the time to assess it.

No two ways about it, the atmosphere was dire on Saturday.  It's a bit of give and take for me.  Team needs to get the fans going and vice-versa.  I've also absolutely no idea what is said on the PA system, can't hear anything - it's getting worse.
