Now you’re just being plane silly.

Is the end near?

Our away support is flying

 

[UTS]

7,784 at Gigg Lane today with 2,758 Oldham fans. Decent support from both.

The attendance at Boundary Park in December was only 5,000.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

I didn't know Bury actually had 5,000 fans, unless they've all turned up solely for a scrap with Oldham or something.

Good numbers from County, considering their predicament.

We’ve had over 5,000 home fans a few times over the last few years, Bolton was one of them, Dale a few times. Would have had 5,000 vs Lincoln had it not been a Friday night Sky game in the pouring rain (4,300 that night). Add in 8,800 vs Southend in 2015 and the play off games in 2008/09.

Let’s be honest for a team 2nd in the league in a local derby it’s the least we can expect.

At this rate we’ll be selling out your away end for the second time running.

Fair enough, decent numbers either way

Our game at your place was a Saturday with a half 5 kick off

Aye you’re right. Felt like a Friday for some reason.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

804 Cobbs at the Lamex...

804 Cobbs at the Lamex...

Cobblers website says only 685
291 Vale at the races
319 Cumbrians at Col Uwe
135 Macca at Gatwick
368 Grecians at Crewe
340 exiles at MK
222 U's at Yeovil

I wish we were at the races we wouldn’t be in this mess if we were!

Agreed, they have changed it from the 804 they had up originally, although it felt more like the former...

There was an offer on, or maybe some just got lost.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Clubs offering cheaper tickets as part of a promotion?!?!? I’m disgusted all it does it provide artificially high attendance figures

We shouldn’t stand for it

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Talking of planes, how near is Exeter’s ground to the airport? About the only way I’m going to consider a trip there!

Return flight leaves 6.20pm

 

[redjed]

Talking about attendences, grounds with private boxes, which can hold up to a dozen people, are they included in the crowd figures, because in most cases they don't go through a turnstile , they just go through reception

Don’t they still need a ticket though?

I have had an exec box game at Sheff U once and we got our tickets checked on the way up through reception.

OK, But i was wondering in a enclosed box, with no seats on the stand, are they counted as seats in the stadium.?

Plenty of time, its only 20 minutes from the ground so unless the ref plays 60 minutes of injury time (despite signalling 4) you'll be fine

 

[denzel ecfc]

123 Grecians at Lincoln with a long journey home.

Don't think so.

Our Exec Box people don't get tickets either, they just get ticked off against their box name as they arrive.

Well whoopy doo for you. Pity your home support at Gigg Lane just before Christmas was so pathetic really isn`t it. Where were your 5000 home fans that day then. Doing their Christmas shopping ??

Be more fans than they had at their ground. Something about bandwagons and plastic fans..

So you should be too, you’re absolutely flying in the league and it’s only 39 fucking miles away.

 

[T.A]

Wow 3 people bit. Amazing.

That doesn’t make any sense does it, considering the away end holds about 1,600?
