111 Cambridge at Newport, awful.

Shocker that

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Not everyone enjoys foreign travel.

 

[Pablosammy]

Great effort considering how far it is

It's not exactly Carlisle to Torquay, is it? 131 miles according to all-knowing Google. Still a very decent turnout, mind.

 

[GTFCfish]

It was either 53 or 57 Morecambe fans laughing at us today.

Anywhere is far from Lincolnshire (in time if not distance). It takes well over an hour just to get to a motorway.

59 boro in nearly Scotland
284 glovers at gatwick
57 shrimps at Cleethorpes
135 ( not 145) vegans at Moss rose
485 cobblers at the Mill

Ok, 2 and a half hours... still only a 'moderate' journey.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

Good numbers from us again, enjoying it whilst it lasts!

 

[Blue Lion]

According to our programme we had 303 at Morecambe last week and 129 at Stevenage earlier in the month

 

[northstandexile]

Just seem to be missing official figures for the following

Crawley at FGR 147?
Exeter at Morecambe
Cambridge at Stevenage even last week's Cambridge programme had it missing
Bury at Swindon

anybody confirm any

210 Exeter according to Morecambe programme

 

[sadgull]

350 Exeter at Vale[/QUOT

A bit low isn't thought seeing second in table and getting about 4k home fans ? A mate of mine was at Mansfield away and said how many they had there wasn't great and just one 5-1 at home !!

Didn't get an official figure for Bury at Swindon but 250 was the approximated number.

Anyone get MK at Swindon a few weeks back (a common denominator is Swindon!!)

 

[valefan16]

Decent turn out from Exeter I thought.

 

[darren gregory]

Decent turn out from Exeter I thought.

I thought the same thing, nobody can knock a 3 1/2 hour plus journey . Decent support that was.

If 59 is the official figure then at least 30 of them never showed up.

Their supporters coach got stuck on the way up cos the A66 was closed and had to turn back apparently

Why were they using the A66? M1/M6 all the way surely.

Thought it was OK. I think the original poster is trolling though, particularly as that club doesn't have any trips north this season...

 

[Chris FGR]

Dunno I don't drive their supporters coach. They tried diverting over to the m6 apparently but that route was blocked too. Wasted trip.

big accident on M6 Saturday morning

 

[RebornKirtonRed]

3 1/2 hrs to vale ? bit optimistic , more like 4 3/4 hrs....bearing in mind driver break and traffic/roadworks at Brum and Oldbury viaduct.......( haha - big sign at beginning of site states that 382 peeps are working on that site today - I counted 28 - nearly all sat in cabs !).........anyways, left on coach within 10 mins of match ending and got back in Exeter centre about 10ish - gotta remember short wee break at Strensham and passenger drop-offs en route.

 

[GTFCfish]

I would expect our away support at Carlisle on Tuesday night will be our lowest since we got back in the league, 199 at Newport on a Tuesday night in 2017 is the lowest I can remember, pretty sure this will be a lot less given the absolute state of our club at the minute.

 

[GodsGift]

What's the opposite of a bandwagon?

 

[RLC]

How many Imps can we expect on Tuesday night ?

 

[GTFCfish]

How many Imps can we expect on Tuesday night ?

Probably about 800-900, but If Manchester United are on tv the same night, about 150.

 

[northstandexile]

They were wrong, 601 of us.

Dippy Don says 601 at Swindon for MK Dons, not sure where the figure came from

regarding Bury at Swindon someone at the game said between 200 and 250, so I went with an estimate of 225

 

[Imp in Branston]

How many Imps can we expect on Tuesday night ?

Sold 300+ a few days ago so maybe 400-500?

Probably about 800-900, but If Manchester United are on tv the same night, about 150.

I see Grimsby are trying reverse psychology and copying the FGR stars on the backs of the shirt idea? They have numerous blank stars on all of their shirts and if they survive another season without relegation, one more gets filled in.

In eager anticipation and excitement it's been called, ‘The Grimsby Town League Two 2020 Challenge’. Sounds a bit short sighted IMO!

 

[White Army]

We've sold 1100 for Morecambe so far apparently.
