Never in a million years did Stevenage take that many.

 

[Pompeyblueboy]

I was wrong. Happy?

No I'm not happy. I like to see the away end full.

I will admit youve got a good side though. No 21 was very good

 

[BarrieOwl]

It's about a Connor Ripley goal kick away.

Looks like there is on the highlights to be fair

Hopefully we can play you next season and it will be on a Saturday. Then I'm sure it will be a lot fuller. Heard good things about the new rail seating

It’s correct. The away end holds 1,475ish and they filled all except for the block to the furthest right as you see it on the camera which I estimated yesterday to be around 250 seats. 1,259 seems reasonable to me.

Edit: it’s not far from Stevenage to Cambridge - Stevenage is actually closer to us geographically than Peterborough, it’s just the roads are better to the north of the county and our history with Stevenage is relatively recent (last 25 years) whereas we go back 50+ years with Peterborough. And obviously Stevenage is in a different county too so doesn’t carry the same desire over bragging rights to us or them.

Its 28 miles, and they won their first two games after being promoted.
Even Stevenage can have an invasion occasionally

Yes it seems popular. We'll be in the championship next season...Its got to be our year.

The Bolton Wigan game was made a 12.30 kick off by the snowflakian GM Police and Wigan have posted they have sold 3,700 . They may yet sell out their allocation of the full stand but unlikely but still probably one of their biggest away followings ever. Can only remember them bringing more to our ground once before as it is a massive 6 mile journey to Lostock.

They won't sell 5k

 

[EricSabin]

Surely an initial allocation

Been given another 500 as the first 1,047 nearly gone. Decent effort considering it’s 3 weeks away

 

[dwightyorke]

Away numbers will be affected quite abit this weekend I reckon. Basically this is the 3rd league away game in the space of 2 weeks for some clubs, so it's alot of money to pay out in that short space of time.

Was talked about on our POD this, for some reason this season we've ended up with clubs having either 3 home or 3 away games in the first 4 which is a bit skewed. Usually after 4 games you play 2 + 2.

 

[K-Win]

Yes, it's a bit weird. Not sure why it's that way this season. It does give some clubs (us included) a slight advantage in my opinion. A comfortable home start can really set up a season IMHO.

Not expecting as good a turn out from the imps tomorrow. One it’s always a ball ache getting from East to West from Lincoln, and two, this will already be our fourth game away already in all comps.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Wigan bringing 3,900 tomorrow.

Good effort to be fair considering they’re a club punching above their weight in this league, only 6,000 season ticket holders etc…

A league you cant get out of ‍ how you work that out ? Your getting tonked tomorrow, fleetwood caused you problems..the diff is we have forward players who will hurt you

 

[GTFCfish]

Not the easiest of trips either on a school night

School night?
It’s the Summer Holidays.

School/work makes no odds does it. Get back to the league 2 forum you Ponce.

Haha, what a tosser.

See you back here next season.

When Stevenage are involved it’s more of an “infestation”.

 

[Bamber Gashead]

811 GAS at Cambridge in a total of 6390.

 

[E10rifle]

638 Orient dodging STDs up on the Fylde coast.

 

[denzel ecfc]

318 happy Grecians on the longest trip all season

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Only 370 Lincoln at Shrewsbury. Very low, but no surprise with 4 away games from 5 including cup to start the season.

It is ridiculous that the league has asked half the sides to start with three away out of four. Like us, should be making it up soon!

Crazy. Only 20 away league games left this season!

 

[Luke Imp]

After Blackpool at home next week we're on the road again - Sheffield United in the Cup and the short(!) trip to Bristol Rovers.
