At Salford last night
Attendance: 3,827 (1,355 away).

Yeah seems odd that Gillingham would agree to 600 away tickets when there is potentially gonna be something riding on it.

I get the impression Mansfield have decided on this without actually consulting anyone to be honest. We took 631 last Feb when we were right down the bottom, even if this game had nothing riding on it I'd expect us to take a fair few more than that.

Considering the allocation should be 10%, (and unlike Wrexham, Mansfield can actually offer this segregation-wise) then it wouldn't surprise me if there's a backlash on this.

Yep, if you lot are in with a sniff of anything that isn't decided you're taking more than 600. I also wouldn't be surprised if Mansfield have done something dodgy here...either that or Gillingham are about to piss off a fair few of their own.

Off-field we tend to make decent decisions, it's the ones on the pitch that piss us off more than anything.

 

[GTFCfish]

If Mansfield have done it without contacting Gillingham then I think they should be deducted 40 points for it.

The away end at Mansfield holds 1750, Stags are only selling 500, so if 250 seats of netting then still a thousand for the Gills.

 

[joethegill]

We’ve given half the north stand to home fans for the remainder of the season allowing for another 600 stags fans in.

However, that’ll limit away to 600 or so also, not a problem for FG, sutton, colchester, or crawley but might cause a few issues for gillingham fans towards the end of the season if they’re still knocking around the playoffs.

Just going on what your fellow Stag said earlier.

if the middle block is not available like it’s not been so far then it’s not a 1000.

 

[AdamStag]

if the middle block is not available like it’s not been so far then it’s not a 1000.

it’ll never be anywhere close to 1000 if we’ve got nearly 600, and home fans take priority.

The netting will take out 500 id imagine so if we’ve nearly 600 and the netting takes out 500 you’ve another 600 or so.

It’s about time the club started prioritising home fans for games like this, well done to the club.

 

[Conker]

They should be working immensely hard to sort the Bish out so we can accommodate more home and away fans. It’s already too late, but it is coming.

Planning permission for development granted over 20 years ago. But it's coming...

they do, but it’s all about knowing what league we’re in before doing anything

 

[F!RTHY]

I reckon with 2500 odd at Bradford tomorrow, a likely big MK following, Wrexham sold out then whatever Barrow give us we will see a late Stags surge up the table.

Good following! Few and far between at Valley Parade these days.

Of our remaining away fixtures:

Harrogate - 1,000 (sold out)
Grimsby - 1,250 (sell out)
Barrow - 980 (sold out)
Salford - 1,350 (sell out)
Walsall - ???

They’re all sell-outs due to low allocations, but if there’s anything riding on the Walsall game, we’ll sell whatever they give us. Anything up to 3,000, I’d imagine.

Said a few weeks ago that I think we’ll sneak second place, but it’ll come down to the final day (haha).

It all depends on how much is riding on MK away and how many they will give us, the last time it was 5,000 and we sold them all easily.

Wrexham is sold out and I’m sure the 980 at Barrow will go for us easily too. I think top three is achievable.

Imagine there's a fair few Stockport fans in that home figure too. Salford are such a pointless club.

 

[Conker]

It needs doing anyway. Safe standing is on the cards I reckon. The club needs this to happen to continue growth whatever happens this season.

Yeah i reckon you could get 1500 in safe standing down the side and maybe fill in the quarry lane end and the west stand too, could maybe get a total of another 2500 i’d imagine

You brought 1800 here last year but now only 1250 this year, terrible support.

1250 last season - we’ve had the Osmond Corner since we came back up. And I think it’s 1160 this season.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

378 Sutton at TNL think I just heard.
ETA 278 actually by sounds of it.

 

[PRIDE OF CHESHIRE]

719 Crewe in Bletchley out of 6,661.

 

[Roger Stone]

469 very happy Newportonians

I think our max is still around 7k, though you seemed to enjoy the split allocation last time so it would be funny to do that again.

(We won’t, Take That aren’t here until May 30th)

Saudi are also taking over boxing, so we won’t get the punch up we got last time either.

 

[GTFCfish]

425 Grimsby at Gills.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Seems to be some uncertainty as to whether we had 425 or 525 at Priestfield

 

[クレイグ]

We didn't announce our attendance again. Excellent support from Mansfield though. Best I've seen in years. Absolute credit to every single of them.

And a mega-lol to all our fans who stayed behind to clap players off who had just got battered 5-1.

 

[dedwardp]

270 Walsall at Colchester.

Heard that quite a few times this season!

Yeah. Your support is top-notch. A shame you'll be in League One next season. Not knocking anyone on here, but there's only yourselves, Wrexham, and Grimsby who tend to bring a quality contingent.
